That’s pretty damn clever and good.
Should have used the scene where Rev. Lovejoy says he is a graduate of TCU.

4 x 4 pods -- Texas, west, central and east. Play every team in your regional pod, and rotate the rest of the schedule from the remaining pods.
Yep, it’s a simple fix. Do this or divisions. The whole “throw at the wall and see what sticks” method of scheduling sucks. It causes unnecessary chaos for deciding the top 2 teams (just like this year), and makes for just really boring or unfair schedules (us playing in Manhattan 3 times in a row, CU coming here twice in a row, OSU coming here 3 times in a row, etc and some teams playing either the majority of the hardest or worst teams).

Was I supposed to type something here?

I'm sure the issue is Yormark trying to work out a new wrinkle to get money out of such an arrangement. How he would do such a thing is beyond me at this point, what with the TV/Streaming market so discombobulated...

That is a BRUTAL schedule. I don’t think I can remember a season we haven’t had back to back home games before.
I'm fearful it could be a 1-8 conference season....Don't know who the 1 will be....Yeah, I know, negative....but every one of the teams on the schedule have the ability to beat anyone....

There isn’t a reason the Frogs can’t be like the ‘22 team…or the ‘23 team….Doh!

I would think creating more regional matchups would be a strong start towards doing that. I couldn’t give a damn about playing Cinci, WVU, UCF, ISU, etc and I bet most fans feel that way too. We should at least be playing all in-conference Texas teams every year. The mountain teams should play each other every year. East coast…so on and so on.
