Is the mega conference and resulting unbalanced schedule just setting teams up for occasional fools gold...or is it a good thing because traditionally bad programs will get a chance to get to a bowl every now and then? I am not sure myself if it's a good or bad thing (though I liked playing a round robin league schedule). I know I'd hate to make coaching firing/hiring decisions based off it... I think you are really gonna need to look for a coach who has consistent success not one or even a years....
