Stop Scheduling FCS Schools!...


Nov 26, 2012, 10:08 AM

ACC football has declined to such a pathetically low level in recent years that ambitious, football-focused teams like Clemson, FSU, and Virginia Tech should no longer schedule FCS schools. Since ACC opponents are so poor, they cannot afford to weaken their already laughable schedules by wasting two or three games a year against the likes of Furman, Jacksonville State, or Old Dominion.

I know that the tradition for all BCS schools is to schedule a couple games against FCS opponents as a way to provide glorified scrimmages early in the season or to put money into the coffers of lesser in-state schools. However, the state of many ACC football squads almost approaches FCS levels already. Thus, Clemson and FSU can achieve 10-1 records and barely crack the Top Ten in BCS polls and the Top 20 in other computer polls. Plus, we now realize that a season filled with Duke, Boston College, and Wake Forest prepares a team inadequately for real football competition, which may explain top ACC teams' poor record in BCS games and against tough non-conference opponents (see Saturday's results for examples).

Of course, the logistics of the aforementioned proposal may take a while to work out effectively.
