How does a school get seven home games and only four road games? Looking above I see in Auburn's schedule for next year only has them leaving the state of Bama three times with two of those being in Mississippi. That looks like an old Tennessee schedule from a couple of years ago when nine of their eleven games were played in Tennessee, Nashville and Memphis being the other two cities. Listen I live in Southwestern Virginia and I still cannot understand why some of the deeper southern schools refuse to travel north of Kentucky to play football. With the exception of G-Tech, Tenn, Texas, Va Tech and UNC I cannot remember when some of these schools ever went into the Big Ten, Mac or Big East. I read in a publication the other day that it has been 40 years since Georgia played north of the Mason-Dixon line. How do some of these schools ever expect the get respect from the northern press and voters when they never see them play live. Where I live at I'm right in the middle of ACC and SEC country. I'm sure the same thing can be argued that Big Ten schools seldom travel south to play down here, but they're not the ones having to worry about voters and TV exposure.
I mean I may be a hillbilly living here in the mountains, drinkin' my uncles homemade shine, but I can see how voters can be turned off for voting for schools they never see play live and I think that will hurt some of our southern schools. I also think it will hurt PAC 10 schools like Oregon, just like it hurt Cal last year. Pollsters won't vote on what they don't see.
Just an opinion from the local Hillbilly.
