I'd rather take the sure thing and try to find an opponent on Oct. 27. What if we need a sixth win and Akron ends up in the championship game? It will be awhile before we know. Frost stated yesterday he wants to play a full slate of games.
I think there is a good chance we play someone on December 1. We can always do what Florida State did last year and pay an fcs school to come here. I would prefer Akron however.
