[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 485132, member: 265"] I think that's part of it. [I]But[/I] … I've often called for an easier OCC schedule for us here. But I also realize that this isn't the easiest thing in the world to pull off. It is hard to get teams to schedule us for one or two games. All they have to do to decide if they want to play Tech is look at what happens to teams that play us without extensive experience against the O. They get clobbered, with Tech often running up 500 - 600 yards of total offense and, at a minimum, 38 points. Being willing to schedule a team that you think is going to beat you is one thing; a lot of teams do that for the money or exposure. Being willing to schedule a team that will run you off the football field and make your program look [I]really[/I] bad is another. Our ACC foes don't have much choice, so they adapt over time. But our potential OCC opponents don't have that option. I think this is why we keep doing insane stuff like scheduling ND or UCF; they're good enough to not be afraid of playing us. I confess that I don't know a way out of this, except to start chasing OCC opponents from out of our region. We should, however, do [I]something[/I]. [/QUOTE]
