Alabama, Georgia, LSU, USC, Penn State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Michigan, Clemson, etc. etc. etc. do not play the Woffords, ODUs, Libertys, etc. as away games. They play them at home and that's that, yet we schedule away games with these teams with no upside benefit. If you want to play like the big boys, you schedule like the big boys. The fact we schedule with these teams as away games, demonstrates we consider ourselves to be second rate. I'm not knocking these schools nor their programs but do you see those schools listed at the top playing at these smaller schools? No.
