Two "P"5 teams scheduled in '16 and '17?

Posted: 10/31/2015 8:35:38 PM

fbsschedules.com has Ohio scheduled to play at Kansas and at Tenn next year, and at Purdue and Kansas at home in '17. http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa/mid-amer/ohio-bobcats.php

Not exactly the cream of "P"5 but a chance to make some noise nonetheless.

And with T'erd and Cincy at home in '20, we'll maybe have seven home games if we add a 1AA team.

We will get by.

Those are all pretty solid games to me.

I'd pull the Kansas game for a 1-1 with Temple.

Yes. I think it's clear that Ohio is moving towards playing more P5 teams when it can schedule them. As for 2020, there is no money game, and I think that will be the fourth OOC game, not an FCS game, since the budget needs the money game.

Is there a new wrinkle that P5 can't play FCS teams?
If so that may help our scheduling going forward for home and home series with selected P5 teams.

It's not that they can't play them, but some conferences are strongly suggesting that their teams don't play 1AA teams. Plus with the SEC, P12, B12 and maybe some others playing nine conference games, playing 1AA schools isn't practical for SOS when it comes to the playoffs.

Thanks for posting. I've been looking for a date for the TN game for months. Just booked my room for a couple of nights in Knoxville. Close-in stuff is very difficult to find.

Tennessee had that issue when they played at UK this weekend because The Breeders Cup was in Lexington this weekend and all the decent hotels close to Lexington were booked. They wound up staying in Cincy, more than 80 miles away.

Will Ohio continue to have a FCS team on its schedule in future years?

I expect that having P5 teams playing less often against FCS teams will make it significantly harder to get home and home series with P5 teams. Just as Ohio likes to have 6 home games a year, P5 teams like to have 7, or even 8 home games. Just as Ohio uses FCS teams to get that 6th home game, P5 teams have used both FCS teams and sometimes G5 teams for that purpose. If they aren't playing FCS teams anymore, then the extra home game will always have to come from a G5 game.

In my opinion, most P5 teams, to boost schedule strength, will drop to only one G5 game a year, and no FCS teams. The G5 game will be the one that gives the extra home game. The net result is that the G5 will become even more clearly a second class citizen, and essentially they will be the new FCS for scheduling purposes.

Meanwhile the FCS will drop from being a second class citizen to third class. Their paydays will drop in value since they won't have a chance at P5 paydays, and will have to settle for what the G5 teams offer. The economic effect on G5 teams won't be significant - they will still get P5 paydays (paydays that might go up since they no longer have to compete with FCS teams for the payday), and may have to pay less for FCS games. The group that will suffer economically is the FCS teams.

If they want a 6th home game, then yes, they will, most years.

Kansas anymore is more like an FCS team than an FBS school let alone a Power Five team, but I agree, much better scheduling.
