Random Out Of Conference Scheduling

[Mike Jackson]

I think most Hardcore FBS fans have 1 grievance in common;  Out of Conference Scheduling.  With that in mind (and since most of the bowls are no longer relevant) I would love a randomized OCC designated weekend.  FBS is missing out on growing the revenue pie by doing this.  Here is how it would work.  Just like how baseball first  implemented inter league play it would be a designated schedule event, like rivalry weekend.  

1. Everyone would play these designated OCC games the last weekend in September or first weekend in October 

2. Every 2 years you woul have a selection show in early August

3.  The show would only be every two years because each match up would be a home and home series in consecutive years.

4. An algorithm would be used to favor G5 vs P5 matchups and prevent rematches within 8 years. 

That is the only we will get top half P5 teams playing OCC on the road at G5 stadiums with something on the line.   Anyone else have suggestions how can consistently get interesting regular seasom G5 vs P5 matchups?  Besides the “generosity” of P5 programs?

And why would the P5's agree to this arrangement?

Better question: why would G5 schools agree to this?  Many G5’s and FCS programs depend on these prearranged big payouts from P5 schools to fund their athletic programs. Sounds like the luck of this lottery based system would remove those payouts.

Making a P5 giant who plays in front of 90k regularly have to travel to a stadium with 30k as its full capacity isn’t going to happen voluntarily.
