What's hard about scheduling B1G schools

is their 9 game conference schedule, only leaving 3 OOC games. In the seasons when they have the 4 conference home games, their 3 OOC games are going to be home games, and the other year, they have 1 away OOC spot, so getting a H&H can be more difficult than an ACC school with only 8 conference games and more slots for H&H with other P5's.

And Alabama? From 2011 to 2028 they will play a grand total of 3 away games against P5, hell FBS, schools. Most of their OOC games against other P5's take place in Atlanta or JerryWorld. Not exactly road tests. IMHO, I think that is why Clemson was able to crush them out west last week because Alabama isn't used to traveling to unfamiliar places.

Hoo86 ACC Football versus SEC last 4 years? -- Stech 01/12/2019 4:53PM

Haven't been here in a couple of days. See Calamitous looked it up. ** -- HOO86 01/13/2019 4:04PM

Not HOO86, but I was curious -- Calamitous 01/13/2019 3:38PM

Is all of that regular season or does it include bowl games? -- HokieAl 01/28/2019 12:50PM

Good stuff, but taking Clemson from the ACC is like removing Bama from SEC. -- Stech 01/13/2019 3:37PM

In this case, probably more like removing Georgia -- Pylons 01/14/2019 10:24AM

You are making a different point, mine was you cannot remove the best team -- Stech 01/14/2019 7:26PM

I agree in general about removing best/worst from any analysis -- Pylons 01/14/2019 8:07PM

Okay gotcha, Georgia has definitely dominated GT & Bama doesn't play ACC -- Stech 01/14/2019 8:13PM

Agreed. Just thought it was interesting to note... -- Calamitous 01/13/2019 3:50PM

It's hard to get SEC teams to play road games. -- HOO86 01/13/2019 4:16PM

Things have gotten much worse -- Mercury 01/14/2019 08:44AM

Tech’s only home-and-home with a SEC school was LSU -- Calamitous 01/13/2019 5:44PM

South Carolina is the other one to do home and home with UVA. -- HOO86 01/13/2019 6:19PM

USC-E also played UNC home & away -- EDGEMAN 01/14/2019 08:20AM

I wish there would be more ACC B1G matchups. Weaver got that done for VT & -- Stech 01/14/2019 06:57AM

B1G is hard to schedule -- mrcaniac 01/14/2019 3:44PM

Virginia Tech has done it, so I think others could too. The Bi12 plays -- Stech 01/14/2019 7:32PM

If the SEC now requires 1 OOC against a P5 opponent -- VTHokie2000 01/13/2019 9:11PM

Looks like most of the SEC will only schedule one P5 -- mrcaniac 01/14/2019 3:30PM

Oh, and Alabama? -- mrcaniac 01/14/2019 3:36PM

FWIW the SEC decided that Army, BYU, and Notre Dame can count -- VTHokie2000 01/14/2019 4:20PM

Air Force hasn't played any XII, Big SEC or ACC schools -- mrcaniac 01/14/2019 9:54PM

You are mistaken about Air Force -- VTHokie2000 01/14/2019 10:12PM

If Air Force was an independent, the P5 would classify them P5 -- mrcaniac 01/14/2019 10:50PM

I could accept that point except Cincy, UConn, and Navy are members -- VTHokie2000 01/15/2019 01:31AM

They have usually played to P5's a season -- mrcaniac 01/15/2019 5:21PM
