UCF's a C-USA team and they went 8-5 last year. They're better than all but maybe one of the WAC teams we're scheduling. They're probably around the level of an Air Force. They're an improvement over the five bottom dwelling MWC teams.

That BYU wins some more games.Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostSo what does BYU (and their fans) care about in the future when they open the season 1-2?
Maybe I'm amplifying my own thoughts on this, but I've personally never cared about conference titles. Last night during the Utah broadcast, one of the announcers said that Utah had won ___ number of titles and I had to sit down and really concentrate on how many MWC titles BYU had won.
On the other hand, Pac 10, SEC, etc. I think those really mean something. Winning the MWC until recently meant not a whole lot.
I think games against rivals are significantly more interesting than worrying about the conference title race.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

Wasn't Boise on the schedule for 2011 as well? I didn't know UCF was in Conference USA. I thought they were a Sun Belt team. But it is a game in Florida. Like someone said on this board, picking up games that could be potential recruiting hot spots is smart. I really like the idea of picking up games with teams in Texas and in California.Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostOregon State

Respect to Chris Hill. I really thought that saying they would keep playing BYU was lip service and that when push came to shove the game wouldn't happen next year. I am glad to see it will.Originally posted by hostile View PostJust heard that Chris Hill sent paperwork to BYU today to try and schedule a 5 year agreement with next year's game being the first game of the season. Don't know details about location. We'll see if it pans out.
Someone said a Labor Day Monday game, I like that idea a lot.Get confident, stupid

What's interesting to me about that is that Texas was again involved in this. They're giving up a home game to help BYU. I'm sure they'll have no problems filling that slot, but I'm starting to see a pattern.Originally posted by falafel View PostUCF announces home and home with BYU, starting 2011 in Provo. I wish it were USF instead.
