Home/Away game schedule with App St. 2016/2021

They are playing against Appalachian State home and away game first one is slated for 17 September 2016 in Boon NC. Who does this kind of stuff especially when college playoffs system is already skewing about weak schedule. Wow!

we should not be doing this..with that said- if you enjoy checking out a beautiful part of the country- This is it!

Most of North Carolina is beautiful, but Boone is the best. The sites are incredible. This is a trip to make.
 
I understand it's a beautiful place, but come on in this era where the college football committee is looking at the games team schedule especially if we are up for playoffs debate. This just doesn't make sense.

No one plays four Power5 teams in their OOC games. Ohio State had a lock on a playoff spot with four OOC games against unranked teams. The highlight of their schedule was Virginia Tech. We have 8 ACC games plus Notre Dame.
 
Has to do with the stadium. The roof is going in 2016 and to prevent a disaster, much of September for both the Canes and Dolphins will be played on the road. It's what happened this year...
 
Playing at App State is stupid, but playing them isn't. That's how today's scheduling should be.

1 quality power 5 OOC opponent.
2 group of 5 OOC opponents
1 FCS opponent
8 conference games
???
Profit
 
If the home and home saves us from having to pay them to play, a trip to NC rather than an empty SunLife is probably not terrible.

This is the first time and possibly the last I'll ever agree with you.

Alabama, this is their OOC schedule:

Wisconsin - Respectable
Middle Tennessee State
Louisiana Monroe
Charleston Southern

I would bet that Appalachian State would beat all of those teams besides Wisconsin.

Anyhow, if there's a game worth going to this upcoming year, it's this one. A week in the mountains, a game, and my family....sounds perfect to me. The field area is great for families with small children.
