Lots of debate on future 10 game conference schedules.

With every power 5 conference appearing to go to a 10 game conference schedule in 2020, debate has started in earnest if college football should move in the future to a 10 game conference schedule.

Here is sampling of where some are with this debate…

Well not for me Stewart.

I doubt you’ll ever see the regular season go beyond 12 games. With a 10 game conference, your OOC scheduling flexibility is severely limited. For schools like Florida State, Clemson, Florida, Georgia Tech, Georgia, Louisville, Kentucky and South Carolina you are left with 1 game to schedule another opponent. They already have traditional year ending games with their in-state rivals.

Good luck trying to revive rivalries West Virginia vs Pittsburgh or Nebraska vs Oklahoma or Texas vs Texas A&M. Inter-sectional games? I would expect not too see many.

Certainly with the size of conferences now we want to see conference rivals play more often. This is not the way to achieve it, though I wouldn’t mind see schools like Ole Miss not have 3-4 cupcake games a year.

    I’m such an idiot – I wrote “9 over 10” when I meant “10 over 9”!
