Shudder, they'll have to schedule something other than D2 schools in September!!!
 
The article makes good points, though on paper the A&M-SMU and Tech-Nevada matchups mentioned at the end look competitive and I'd watch.

Nice work! The "Big Nothings" really are hurting for a number of quality Non-conference games next season. I know the norm is to have a weak "preseason" schedule these days to get wins on the board, but this is weaker than what I thought it might be as a group.

The quality of FBS OOC opponents is terrible.

#3 TCU is wasted on a Baylor matchup.
#8 Arkansas against #17 Aggie has some potential, if Sherm can somehow keep A&M competitive.
#15 Nevada (against Texas Tech) comes in as the 3rd best OOC game.
#23 Florida State against #7 Oklahoma is the only game with legitimate national interest.

UConn snuck into a BCS bowl as the Big East champ and finished 8-5 with a blow out loss against OU. Their game agaist cellar dweller ISU has Yawn written all over it.
Let's be honest. Nobody outside of the Hawkeye state cares about Iowa(8-5)-Iowa State. Iowa finished 8-5 beating Mizzou in the Insight Bowl, so they aren't totally pathetic. Miami (7-6), Arizona (7-6), Arizona State (6-6), GTech (6-7), UCLA (4-8) are coming off of mediocre seasons.
There is a complete lack of traditional star power like Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, USC, LSU, Alabama, Florida, or hot teams like Boise, Auburn or Oregon.

Pathetic.
