I honestly do not like the idea of playing YSU.
You can't tell me that there isnt a d-I team that wants to schedule us.
They really need to make a rule that if you are in D-I you cannot schedule d-I teams.
And as for Miami(OH) someone needs to tell them that to be on top you have to beat some top programs, and Syracuse doesnt count.

Actually, a separate SOS BCS component was removed because SOS is an important element of the power ratings already. The perfect example of the inaccuracy of your argument can be provided by followers of a certain university in Oregon who found themselves out of a BCS bowl this year precisely because of the effect of SOS on computer ratings!

Wow, I sure hope it was to schedule someone tougher. Hopefully they will re schedule it for another date.

YSU will be DI by the time we play them, iirc
With this new I-AA rule, now SEC teams can play 3 I-AA teams every year

WSU/tOSU cancelled?
Well shit!!! I've been looking forward to that matchup eversince that '02 game in Columbus. No point in speculating why the Buckeyes backed out...it's just damn disappointing! I would have liked to have the Cougs finally play the Bucks outside of the Shoe. Oh well, I see WSU has gotten some other Big 10 teams to play them (perhaps more winnable games for WSU), that is some consolation.
