BIG Scheduling

[blion72]

the idea that the BIG computer scheduling system (we are told) has somehow put Penn State on the road 95% of the time has been mentioned by everyone. the other thing though that I do not understand is that we are also playing BIG league games out of the blocks. However, I am watching other teams play their patsies to get warmed up. How is it that we are getting these games, instead of say Buffalo, Colorado State, etc?

Also, with expansion of BIG to possibly 20 teams and no divisions, then we should not be playing OSU, UMich, MSU and USC every year, but I am hearing that would be the plan. The BIG schedule should not make any team have a better chance of playoffs over any other team,.....IMHO.

I would say it’s statistically impossible to randomly end up on the road for opening day for 11 years in a row.
