That is why I said everyone should play 10 P5s a year, not just some.

In my mind, that makes 8 or 9 conference games irrelevant.

this is such a stupid ass argument. what p5 team travels outside their footprint in nov?

No more stupid ass than asking Northern teams to come down in Aug/Sept and play in heat over 100 degrees - at Night.Oh no advatage what so ever there.But you do have a point Mercer,Chattanooga,Charleston Southern and WesternCarolina aren't out of their footprint just out of their League

Cincydawg · « **Reply #86 on:** October 01, 2019, 04:10:05 PM »

It is more stupid because Big Teams don't have any open dates for OOC play in November.

The deck can be shuffled I believe Wisconsin tried to make such arrangements - not to deep really

I lived "up north" 38 years. It's not that cold in general in November. It can be in Minny and Chicago of course. I recall UGA playing at Lexington late in the year at night and it was 28°F, nobody made any noise about it.

Anyway, B1G-SEC matchups will always be in bowl games or easrler as things stand now. Everyone plays ten games against P5 teams and I'm happy, fans are happier, G5 teams and battery teams lose money.

If a decent B1G or PAC team plays an early OOC game with an SEC team (or a team like Texas, Oklahoma, or Florida State), they tend to be played in climate-controlled NFL stadiums these days. G5 teams (and bottom-feeder P5 teams) probably won't care as much as long as they get their $1M patsy check.

That said, Southern weather sucks. Northern winters are much more tolerable than long, brutal, oppressive Southern summers.

It's a matter of personal preference obviously. I much much prefer the weather here over in Cincinnati, where it gets very hot and humid anyway.

The real difference is that summer last longer here, but is less humid. It's in the 90s all week here, but we were out walking and it isn't bad.

We'll be out walking in January and February also outside a day here and there.

Anyway, November in Columbus, OH can be a nice day, football weather.

Does Syracuse still play indoors? Could get some snow there I'm sure.

Absolutely. Summers in Austin are miserable. Hot, long, brutal, oppressive. There's no water anywhere and beer is illegal.

California laughs at your Northern vs Southern weather debate.

utee94 · « **Reply #93 on:** October 01, 2019, 05:19:34 PM »

Agreed, California has amazing weather and everyone should move there. Especially the people that left California to come to Texas. Not sure why they'd do that since our weather is so miserable.

California is the place you oughtta be!

Cincydawg · « **Reply #94 on:** October 01, 2019, 05:20:19 PM »

I certainly prefer the weather of much of CA to just about anywhere in the US. Twentynine Palms is not one of those places.

I prefer the taxes and cost of living here though.

The wife wants to go to France for a MONTH in January and February. Winters near Paris are pretty grim in my experience, overcast, cold, damp.

They had a 6" snow fall last time we did that. it was pretty.

average highs in tusaloosa in sept are in the mid 80's, and that's the daily high around noon-ish. and no major cfb game vs a quality ooc opp will be played in tuscaloosa at noon. it''l be 2:30 at the earliest, which would be a mid 80's game and dropping. but it'd probably be a night game, when the temp is mid-high 70's. not exactly a murderous advantage. especially considering columbus is about 5-8 degrees off that, with highs in high-70s and lows high-50s, with a similar gametime temp around high 60s-low 70s. ann arbor and east lansing are similar, slightly cooler. madison too. data pulled from some weather website when googling. currentresults.com or something.

in nov, bama and columbus are in a similar split, 5-10 degrees diff. madison, ann arbor and east lansing all stretch to about 15 degree split between tuscaloosa.

and since when did mercer, chatt, csu and wcu become p5?

i agree barry should be in discussion, but imo he's just outside looking in.

fwiw, bama also has more wins over last 15 years (2004-2018).

Do they? I don't have access to any of the ftbobs data, but this says otherwise. The explanation is below.

(Ohio State would have 166 wins had they not cheated)
