I know everyone wants a schedule with USCw, FSU, and Michigan as OOC games. I guess y'all would be ok with losing one of those and thus being out of the national championship race with a one loss SEC winner, right?

If the playoff system was bigger than 4 I would be all for higher profile games and I actually think it would generate much more revenue in total for the sport.


If the tradeoff is having almost half of the home games being a waste, yes, I would.

You know what our top two home OOC games are for the next four years? Syracuse in 2017 and.... Troy? It's a joke.

no way. I'd be pumped for a packers game, but not an lsu/Wisconsin game. Wisconsin has one of the best gameday atmospheres in the country. I hate that lsu fans will not get to experience it.

Just curious as I really don't know, but how long has Southern Miss been on the 2016 schedule? That game just started looking a lot worse the last 2 years. In 2011 they finished as conference champs at 11-2. Had their 18th consecutive winning season and finished as a top 25 team. But now after 0-12 and 1-11 it looks awful.

This. Camp Randall is a national treasure. Lambeau would be a better trip for a Saints game than a college football game.

I don't understand why this is mutually exclusive for so many people. I'd be pumped for a Saints/Packers game at Lambeau. I am pumped for the LSU/Wisky game at Lambeau. I'd be even more pumped if it was at Camp Randall, but I'm certainly not going to act like the game is a total waste because it's not on campus.

I suppose this all gets down to differences of opinion as what you are looking for on gameday. Some fans love the college atmosphere that on campus games bring and a chance to see and feel what other campus experiences are like. Others don't mind NFL stadium games in large cities as long as it brings in more money for the university.
For me, I do believe at some point you lose a little of the soul of the game when it simply comes down to dollars above experiences. But that's just me.

I live in Houston, but I would rather drive to Baton Rouge, sit in the seats I've had for years and watch LSU beat Wisconsin's arse in Tiger Stadium. Instead, I'll make the same drive the next week to see Sam Houston come to town. It's hard for me to understand why some folks don't see why many of us have a problem with that.

I'm going to be in Houston this year, will be in Syracuse next year, will be in Green Bay the year after that, and in Baton Rouge against Syracuse the year after that.....
