Don't get the logic behind that one. So we play EMU and Ball St. twice and eveyone else in the West once? I liked the old format of East for five, West for six and East for five more. Maybe it because the division winners are no longer guaranteed the 1 and 2 spots so they thought more crossover games were needed? And we get Buffalo twice in five games? Not a fan but it won't likely make a lot of difference.

I love closing the season with 3 home games. That could be HUGE if we end up in a "control your own destiny" situation on March 1st.

I really like that we have 5 Non conference games on the ESPN family of networks (St. Marys, Oregon St, 2 more in HI, and South Carolina). That's 4 games in a row of straight Akron on ESPN. Top that off with at least 1 Can't and 1 OU game most likely being on ESPN, Akron did pretty well for ESPN games this year.

The women's schedule is out at the same time. And they're taking a late November trip to the Big West to play @ Cal Poly SLO and vs UC-Davis. Hey! a visit to Paso Robles after Thanksgiving is this vinophile's dream!

So why is OU able to get a game against OSU but not us? Save the "they're scared" excuse. They would be just as, if not more "afraid" of them than us.
