How TCU will affect future Rutgers football scheduling
It remains to be seen how exactly TCU joining the Big East in 2012 will affect future Rutgers football scheduling, but I wanted to look at some of the possible issues below beyond the obvious concept of beefing up the team's future strength of schedule. Barring another football program joining the...
How bad rumors get started
I saw this link yesterday, and was planning on just giving it a one line summary tomorrow. in short: UNC wants to add a neutral site game with LSU to its 2010 schedule, and wanted to move road games at either Rutgers or South Carolina as a result. Rutgers said no, South Carolina said yes (spurred...
Rutgers to schedule Duke in football
h/t Ben Cohen (@bzcohen) Following Rick Neuheisel's comments several months back to the UCLA alumni club of New York, it now appears that once again, another team's coach is letting the cat out of the bag on a potential future series with Rutgers. I saw that link, did a double take, and went about...
Big East Football Out of Conference 2010
Today is Day 3 of my look at the out of conference scheduling for the six BCS conferences. The Big East East only has eight teams, which means seven conference games and FIVE non-conference games per team per year.

Gut Reaction: Schedule 2009
Hey, do you remember when going over the Michigan schedule for the upcoming year was a simple matter of trying to decide how many points Michigan should win by? Yeah, I do too. The days were brighter, the grass greener. We could just hang out all summer knowing that Michigan should probably at...

I was really surprised at the response to Thursday's story about scheduling. It seems the only thing fans can agree on is that we want the Gators to play a non-conference team that's not from Florida. On the other hand is dealing with potential loss of revenue from turning a home date with...
Should Florida Play Charleston Southern?
The Orlando Sentinel's Jeremy Fowler wrote Wednesday about the possibility of Florida dropping their game with Charleston Southern in exchange for a game against a Mountain West team. It was nothing more than message board banter. However, it does bring up one concern; if there are several...
Talking points: why do you always have to make things so difficult edition
So which schedule is more difficult for Bruce Pearl's Vols, the SEC schedule or the non-conference schedule? Tennessee will have played at least four games against ranked teams (they still have Kansas and another game against Gonzaga) before it even gets a whiff of the SEC schedule. Throwing the...
