Assume a CFB team plays 12 games in the regular season. If the three non conference games are non-competitive, you are down to a 9 game season. In our conference, we can assume that 5 games are not competitive (Pur, Ind, Rut, MD, IL, NW, MN, UCLA).

Let’s face it folks. In today’s CFB, Penn State plays a 4 game season. In recent years, Penn State has been about .500 in their competitive games. Not good enough.

I’ve never been to Syracuse, I feel a road-trip in my future

Pro tip: Stay on Oneida Lake if you go. You should be able to get a good rental deal as it's the weekend after Labor Day and that's when the "season" ends.

Been there a long time ago

Dinosaur Barbecue used to be a place, but it might be more of a tourist trap now.
That time of year is great to hike, boat, visit some wineries.
Might make this a M/C trip, depending on weather and how I feel at the time.

It's been that way for decades. Go back and check out the schedules from our independant days.

That's right ... we suck because we're so good, 3/4 of our schedule is non-competitive. Or something.
