My gripe about conference play right now is playing only teams in your division each year, with one team from the other division locked in. That leaves only one team to rotate in every year. It takes years sometimes to play teams in your conference while you're stuck seeing the same 7 every year.
Looked up Alabama's future OOC, here's their 2019, for example
Duke
Southern Miss
NM St
FCS School
Saban's -made self will always schedule as easily as possible. Our fans would meltdown (and rightfully so) if that was our OOC games
Playing FCS teams is never good. It's a glorified scrimmage. I have always hated Miami playing the likes of FAMU, BCC, etc. Lets schedule teams in P5 for out of conference and be done with it.
You guys are closed-minded idiots. Of course Saban schedules cupcakes, because that's what everyone else does. What he's saying is he doesn't want to do that anymore. He wants everyone, including himself, to only schedule Power 5 opponents. No more Miami vs BCC and Bama vs Georgia Southern, etc. And he's 100000% right, it would generate more interest for the game. No one, literally no one except for the accountants in these FCS schools get excited for these games. He's saying let's treat it like pro football because let's be honest, it's big business. Adapt with the times. I thought it was a great suggestion, but he's saying of course it's got to be a level playing field for everyone.
I hope they take the suggestion seriously. Would be so much better for CFB.
