Virginia (3-5)<br />Week Nine: UK beats Marshall (4-5)<br />Week Ten: UK loses to Purdue (4-6)<br />Week Eleven: UK beats South Carolina (5-6)<br />Week Twelve: UK loses to Tennessee (5-7)<br /><br />That strikes me as a lot more fun than the typical UK schedule. There's a lot of rivalry games, and you don't waste your time on games with schools like Florida and LSU -- unless you're good enough to compete with them.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-30798814135104660282015-11-02T14:50:17.721-05:002015-11-02T14:50:17.721-05:00In my hurry, I have TCU playing Stanford in both W...In my hurry, I have TCU playing Stanford in both Week Seven and Week Eleven. Obviously, that's not right. They would play Michigan State in Week Eleven.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-60081178257193888242015-11-02T14:48:02.188-05:002015-11-02T14:48:02.188-05:00I like a Swiss Pairs Tournament. Let's imagin...I like a Swiss Pairs Tournament. Let's imagine we took all the teams in I-A and I-AA, and put them all into a single pool of around 256 teams. In the first week, every team would play a local rival -- Kentucky would play Louisville, Eastern would play Morehead, Western would play Murray, and so on.<br /><br />OK, after the first week, you play the team closest to you that has the same record as you. And then after the second week, you play the team closest to you that has the same record as you -- but that you haven't already played. And this keeps up for 10 weeks.<br /><br />So let's assume that Texas Christian wins its first five games. It's schedule would look something like this:<br /><br />Week One: TCU beats SMU<br />Week Two: TCU beats Baylor<br />Week Three: TCU beats Houston<br />Week Four: TCU beats LSU<br />Week Five: TCU beats Memphis<br /><br />Now at this point, there are only eight undefeated teams left. After three more week, if it kept winning, TCU would be the only undefeated team left:<br /><br />Week Six: TCU beats Iowa<br />Week Seven: TCU beats Stanford<br /><br />And now Ohio State and TCU are the only two unbeatens, and they meet in Week Eight.<br /><br />Week Eight: TCU beats Ohio State<br /><br />But it's not over. There are still four games left. First, since there are no other teams with the same record as TCU, the Frogs have to play the teams closest to them with a record of 7-1 (that they haven't already played).<br /><br />Week Nine: TCU beats Oklahoma<br />Week Ten: TCU beats Alabama<br />Week Eleven: TCU beats Stanford<br /><br />And then, in the last week of the season, every team plays another local rival.<br /><br />Week Twelve: TCU v. Texas Tech<br /><br />Now if everyone went through this type of schedule, by the end of the year you would have a lot more information about which team was really the best. Also, every week would be full of great games, because teams would always be playing local teams close to their own level. (UK, for example, would usually end up with a bunch of games against schools like Vandy, Miami of Ohio, Eastern, Cincinnati, and Morehead.)GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-70564378092630135722015-11-02T14:23:26.783-05:002015-11-02T14:23:26.783-05:00Go, TCU.
