Last year they went to ASU, Auburn and Wis; wound up 0-3 and outscored 133-23. CMU has the best chance to make some noise. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Probably not the most fan friendly approach, but trust the process. Akron coming off an 0-12 season will give themselves a chance at 3-1 with that schedule. Miami's schedule is super fan friendly. They'll get seven total home games including both of their major rivals and a service academy. Great year to buy season tickets if you're a Miami fan. Western's schedule is pretty attractive, too. They get to host an ACC team and both of their road games are in driving distance. Buffalo's schedue.... woof! I didn't know either of the St. Francis schools even had football.

In that vein, I see us having Marshall as a very attractive OOC opponent. I see only 3 other MAC teams with a more attractive home OOC opponent. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top Alan Swank General User Member Since: 12/11/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 7,103 Status: Offline     RE: MAC OOC games in 2020    Posted: 2/16/2020 1:58:45 PM  Mike Johnson wrote: When I look at attractiveness of OOC schedules, I look chiefly at home games.

I tend to look at attractiveness in terms of a game I'd like to go to like Tennessee a few years ago and games that get some national attention if we win or play a very competitive game into the fourth quarter.

Will be interesting to see what decade OHIO faces Army or Navy and if any on here will still be alive to enjoy going to the game. Well, at least 2022 finally looks like a manly schedule going on the road for Penn State, Iowa State and Rutgers with a Florida Atlantic (whoever they are) home game thrown in.

They will bring in a gigantic amount of cash, but won't beat those teams. Eastern Michigan has Coastal Carolina home but away at Kentucky, Mizzou and Army. Not ideal for a winning record. Akron away at Clemson is a drubbing but they should bring in a bunch of money for that game. I am wondering why Akron doesn't consider the same type of scheduling Kent has been doing as Akron is struggling financially.

It's been like that for years now. Look at the rest of the MAC's schedules for the better part of the last decade and compare it to Ohio's. Ohio's is by far the most dull, boring, fill in your adjective.

Home and Home deals with Syracuse and Iowa State will not bring in a pay day for the Bobcats. Don't be shocked if one of those Syracuse or Iowa State games get scratched. Those deals were negotiated by the former AD as was the Cincy game. The Bearcats shoved the Ohio game on the back burner and are now getting paid huge bucks to play at Notre Dame in 2021. Don't hold your breath on the Bearcats traveling to Athens any time soon. Playing at Illinois in 2025 will bring in over a million and the pay day at Nebraska in 2026 should be much larger than the Illinois game.

Those games are no worse than scheduling Texas State, Idaho, Louisiana, etc. We follow the same scheduling pattern every year: home game vs FCS, buy game at P5, two home/home vs G5/low P5 - one home and one away. We have buy games with Northwestern and Rutgers in 21/23 respectively.

Depending on how the conference schedule shapes up for Homecoming, it's probably the best Saturday game we'll get. Hopefully they don't schedule a noon kickoff for that one.
