1. The odd thing about such schedules. Maryland can't get TV coverage for games like William & Mary, and I would think - long term - there'd be more money in it for them to schedule anyone else.
(In the case of Penn State, they ended the 30-year series with Maryland when they joined the Big East. Sad for us because it was a neighboring state power that gets all of our best prospects. Good for us because we are 1-30-1 against them...)
2. Unis really vary. Some are great. Pretty much everything from Nike these days, with their ridiculous template (Arizona, Miami & a number of schools wear the same uniforms with only difference color scheme...) really annoys me.
5. The long season doesn't necessarily ring to me as an argument against playoffs. Every other Division of College Football has a 16-team playoff. I think they have 11 games instead of 12, but otherwise... If it's okay for the Ivy League, then it's okay for me for the ACC.
