Only 10 scheduled opponents for 2018?

[Believe In Boris]

Scheduling Savannah St, Charleston Southern, FAMU, Bethune and those teams is total BS. Who the **** wants to go watch a 55-0 beat down.. At least schedule aG5 team that can give the team a workout for a quarter like Toledo.

Just remember while we were losing to Pitt, Clemson was playing the Citadel and Alabama was playing Mercer.

Alabama lost to auburn and Clemson beat South Carolina.

James announced Savannah and FIU in August

SAVANNAH STATE
Sept. 8 at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens

Miami will play the FCS team, James told The Post (he did not disclose details of the contract).

Savannah State is best known for its losing role in the most lopsided win in Hurricanes history: a 77-7 drubbing in 2013 in which UM scored a school-record 77 points (that included, as fate would have it, an injury to Miami’s starting quarterback. No one wanted to see that.

FIU
Sept. 22 at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens

First time Miami will play the Panthers since 2006, when, well, yeah. The schools, separated by nine miles, put football back on the schedule in 2014.

“We want the crosstown rivalry,” then-UM President Donna Shalala said when the series was finalized.

In a home-and-home set, the visiting school will get $500,000 from the home school. As FIU AD Pete Garcia noted at the time, the main benefit will be the “hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings” on travel.

And plenty of intrigue, especially if coach Butch Davis builds the Panthers into a feisty mid-major. Davis, who coached UM from 1995-2000 and is credited with bringing the program back to national prominence, badly wanted the Canes’ head coaching job in 2015 but was passed over for Richt.

I'm not sure Matt Porter did his homework for this one

Well unless things changed since August (they might have?) then the Savannah State game is straight from Blake James and the FIU game was scheduled back in 2014 and I haven't seen it changed anywhere else.

We’ve been over this a million times.

We are no different than any other big time P5 program.

We schedule a yearly FCS cupcake like Savanah State as does every other top P5 team.

If we schedule a G5 cupcake like FIU, so be it. It doesn’t count against us. They’re still a G5. Same as UCF or Houston or USF etc. All other P5 programs have one or two G5 games a year as well, usually one.

The problem is the FIU home game scheduled for the upcoming (2018) got moved to 2019. So now we only have a total of 5 home games instead of the usual 6.

That's the worst ever slate of home games.

Home: FSU, DUKE, UNC, PITT, FIU, SAV

Away: LSU, TOLEDO, BC, UVA, GT, VT

It’s horrible.

All of our away ACC games are tough.

LSU GT and VT are the tough away games

Arkansas State WAS on the schedule as a home game next year.

Good Replacement Teams:
Tulane
South Alabama
Rutgers
Purdue
Miami (OH) Have we ever played them?

Tulane is full. Wake, Ohio State, UAB and Nicholls State. They're full in 2019 too. Auburn, Army, FIU, Missouri State. They're full in 2020. Wake, Mississippi State, Army, Southeastern LA. They have 3 FBS opponents in 2021-2023. They need an extra one from 2024 onwards.

 

[Notsince1985]

I would like to see us schedule an average to below-average power 5 team from the Pac 12, Big 12, or SEC. Maybe, for example, teams like Kentucky, Oregon State, or Kansas.

If we cannot do that, I would hope, at the very least, one of these two "mystery" games is another solid G5 team, like Toledo. And for God's sake, if we're going to schedule a cupcake, can it please not be Savannah State — one of the worst Division 1AA schools.

How about a crappy Division 1 team from the Sun Belt or Conference USA, instead? Scheduling crap Division 1 teams like Old Dominion, Buffalo, and UMass are way less embarrassing than Savannah State or Bethune Cookman.

You do realize that the better non P5 teams like Toledo or Memphis routinely kick the crap out of P5 teams like Kansas. Memphis beat Kansas 43-7 last year and 55-23 in 2015. In the past 7 years Kansas has lost to Ohio by 16, South Dakota State, Rice (2X), Northern Illinois, North Dakota State and Southern Miss.

I realize that, and it's certainly an excellent point. But what I'm talking about is the optics of the situation, which is stupid, but it's all about perception with some of these talking-point bimbos.
