Woody realizes that Portland State and EWU have more fans willing to make the trip and it's about the Benjamins for visiting fans to fill the zone at halftime while ensuring 2 guaranteed wins each year.
Sure am glad Colorado is in our conference. Keeps us from having to actually schedule them for a has been game. Darien Hagen and William Doctor approve of this post.
Maybe we could play Minnesota in the same seasons too.
Round out the schedule with a game in Texas with SMU
It's pretty sad to think that if we scheduled Miami, Minnesota, and SMU we would have one of the hardest non conference schedules in the country.
As much as we all want to blame the AD, the reality is non-conference scheduling has moved in this direction. Its harder and harder to do the A-B-C thing. I wish we would just schedule UNLV, Idaho, San Diego St, Utah St, Wyoming, etc instead of the lower tier schools.
There is no benefit to playing an "A" team except for the fans and ticket holders.
Schedule patsies and try and run the Pac 12 table....you do that and you are in the playoff.
That's why I wish the playoff committee would weigh the OOC heavily, like say 25%, since it is a quarter of the schedule.
It matters. Ask Baylor and TCU. When the PAC 12 doesn't make it this year maybe the light wil go on. Or not
If Baylor wouldn't have blown the WVU game last year they would have been in... Their strategy of shit OOC scheduling and winning out would have worked and got them to the Playoff.

If Petersen had balls he wouldn't punt. With a better non conference schedule the loss to WVU doesn't matter
There will never be 4 P-5 unbeaten teams. The committee will have to look at schedule.
