Mercer and UMass? That doesn't't help us get ready at all. Complete waste of time. Cal has been decent before but tbh, I don't know how good they've been the last 3 to 4 years.

Student sections will be empty at halftime for Mercer and UMASS. At least play someone somewhat interesting if you’re going the mid major route.

JBiGGiE 2,488 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 For the longest time Auburn was on a streak of scheduling mid-major programs right at the peak of their success: Clemson, Washington, Oregon, N. Carolina (lucked out on that cancelation), Louisville (aka the Lamar Jackson coming out party). Meanwhile Alabama schedules major programs just as they're hitting their low points. And they never get penalized in the national perception because of name value. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have a light schedule and we still have complaints. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you have to tear it all down to build something better. Also, aren’t we playing Penn State at home next year? How many tough games do we want outside of the SEC? I mean the team needs to play a few cup cake games. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they never get penalized in the national perception because of name value. I’ve noticed the exact same trend between the two programs, it is uncanny. You may add the following: 2008-2009 West Virginia (pat white, Noel Devine era), 2007 Kansas state (josh freeman, jordy Nelson) & USF (the year they rose up to #2 in the nation) 2005 Georgia tech (Calvin Johnson year) 2003 USC (the beginning of the original modern CFB dynasty) 2021 penn state (ranked top ten at the time, compare to when bama had unranked penn state on schedule heading into the Sandusky scandal years) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaker 2,457 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 It's not about the first game. I am in favor of cupcakes for game one. Auburn always has to break in that new OC you know. It really is the first 3 or so games. Is there a marquee program in those first three? That is what is key. It does not have to be Clemson as they are the rise, but top 10-20 programs is important. I think we all want to avoid someone like an Oregon or Ohio State right off the bat, but play the Penn State or the UNC or the Iowa - yes: in games 2 or 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randman5000 4,239 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Can't really predict what Cal will be like in 3 years They stunk this past year.. Definitely looking forward to the game in Berkeley in 2023! Should be fun. We also have Baylor and UCLA lined up though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.E.D 11,070 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Is thread serious? Who gives a s*** about the first game when we play Penn State/Cal in week 2?? Also, OP is a moron bc in 2024 we don't have an opening game scheduled yet, Cal is Week 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUpreacherman22 3,908 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Yeah, I don’t mind a cupcake for game 1, as long as we have a couple of mid majors and decent G5ish type teams on the schedule. If all 4 of our NC games were cupcakes, I wouldn’t be a huge fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkingCarpet 1,379 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 We all know how this works. Cal will be a top 15 team when they roll into town in a few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMassie11 1,610 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Honestly who cares. You have boomer and Texas joining the conference and will just add to a yearly top 5 schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
