[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 750334, member: 4572"] Do you really think as many people would show up to watch Tech play UAB as they would Auburn? Or hell, even somebody like Kentucky for that matter? That’s ridiculous, and you know it’s not true. People don’t even show up to the lower tier ACC games. Nobody wants to watch Duke, or Boston College. In 2014, sitting at 6-2, only 46k tickets were sold to a 3:30 game vs. a 4-4 Virginia team. You think more people would’ve came if that was Northern Illinois? That does nobody any good. Especially when more teams are starting to schedule more P5 opponents OOC. The B1G, PAC 12, and Big 12 play 9 game conference schedules, and almost all of them play at least 1 other P5 school OOC. The ACC and SEC only play 8 conference games. Most schools have only had 1 P5 OOC game on their schedules for a while, but almost everyone else is starting to schedule 2 per year. That means most P5 teams are going to play 10 P5 games per year. If Tech ducks one of those games it will look bad, and it gives the fanbase one less game to actually get excited for. Clemson’s OOC schedule through 2026 includes 2 games against Georgia, Notre Dame, and LSU in addition to South Carolina every year. Georgia’s includes 2 games vs. Clemson and UCLA, and 1 each against Oregon and Oklahoma. And it’s not just the elites scheduling P5 games, or top tier G5 games. Mississippi State has 2 games with Memphis, Arizona, and Arizona State, and 1 with NC State and Minnesota South Carolina doesn’t have complete schedules through 2026, but they still have games with North Carolina and Miami scheduled in addition to their Clemson game. Speaking of North Carolina (a team also in a rebuild and a team we’ll be fighting with in the Coastal), they’ve got 3 games with Notre Dame, 2 with Minnesota and TCU, and 1 with UCF, Wake (counted as non-conference), and South Carolina. Miami, the other Coastal team that Tech will be battling for the top with, has some unfinished schedules. But they play Alabama and Michigan State in 2021, and 2 games with Texas A&M, Florida, and Notre Dame, and 1 with South Carolina through 2026. Scheduling will not be the problem going forward. Although Tech plays Clemson in conference every year, the OOC scheduling is very mild compared to many places. [/QUOTE]
