Title: Saban doesn't want FCS opponents, Bama has to 'buy games' to fill schedule Post by: Jamos on May 27, 2014, 08:38:31 PM "You ever try to schedule a game? Do you know what goes into that? And it's very difficult to do home and home with quality teams. And there's only certain teams, to be honest with you, you almost have to buy games to get people to play you. Outside of the neutral site game we do and our conference games, we struggle to schedule three other games."

RTR!

Don't tell me teams like BYU, Texas Tech, Baylor, Houston, Troy, Fresno State, USF, Air force, Kent State, & MANY others would not love a chance to play us. There are 125 FBS football programs, so don't try to sell me this manure.

It appears Saban is saying he can't find anyone to play us home/away or at a neutral site. :dog: Title: Re: Saban doesn't want FCS opponents, Bama has to 'buy games' to fill schedule Post by: ricky023 on May 28, 2014, 12:09:47 PM I wonder what it is really like scheduling a college football schedule? RTR!

RTR! Well, you have 111 (subtracting the SEC) choices. You may have to schedule 6-8 years in the future. Coach Bryant did that & he didn't have a problem finding teams to play us, like Penn State, Nebraska, Maryland, & USC. :dunno: |
