Title: Is it Time for K-State to Stop Scheduling Cupcakes?
Post by: catastrophe on September 09, 2014, 04:11:57 PM
We all know K-State has a reputation for playing a pretty weak non-conference schedule, and I understand LHCBS's point of view on the matter.  But with the new Playoff Committee deciding who gets a shot at the National Championship, I think it is time we started scheduling some decent teams in the FBS to really boost our resume.

NDSU last year was a start, but I feel like our non-conference schedule has taken a step back since then.  This year we have Steven F. Austin, Auburn, and UTEP.  Do you think the committee will give two craps about a team with those victories on its resume?  What's worse, how bad would it look if we actually lost to a team like Auburn?  I'm not saying that would ever happen, mind you, but Thursday night games have been known for some pretty monumental upsets.

Do you guys think there is any way we can beef up the schedule in the upcoming years?  I don't care if we have to pay cancellation fees.  We can afford it for the sake of keeping a stellar national profile.
