2021 Wake Forest Football Season

here's BC's future OOC schedules.

of note are games with Ohio State (might just be due to their coaching connection, not sure when announced), Michigan State, Missouri (did one game this year), Cincinnati, Stanford, and fucking Alabama.

are they perceived as that much better of a football opponent than us? they had a blip of relevancy with Matt Ryan and then Flutie.

We scheduled Vandy and UConn. Did we think we were going to suck forever ?

I've said it before but I'd be stoked to see a Champion's League-style pot system for divisional alignment.

Ex: 4 pots of 4 teams (or whatever mathematically shakes out) based on previous year's finish/rankings etc. Teams randomly drawn from pots to approximate two divisions of roughly equal quality. You get a different selection of teams every season. Could even make a pre-season ESPN special of the drawing. I'm getting pretty sick of playing the same 6 teams every year and, in recent memory, having no realistic chance of making the ACCCG due to sharing a division with Clemson.
 
Apologies for the pixelated photo, I ran out of time to create a proper screen shot.
 
Making sure this gets posted before I'm engulfed with basketball practice, a basketball feature and preview content for WF-Army:

Position-by-position breakdown and midseason grades.

I had heard that several Power V programs wanted to play a home and home with WF, including Penn State and S. Carolina, and WF passed. FWIW, S. Carolina played at ECU this year, and they play home and homes at UNC and NC State in the coming years. WF would not have a problem finding Power V programs to play home and home against us.

Gotta protect that mediocre bowl streak!

Yeah I know. Some people think for some reason it's left to Wake Forest to not schedule cupcakes or lesser opponents when every other school in the country does it. Alabama played Mercer and will play New Mexico State this year, Clemson has played South Carolina State and will play UConn this year, etc, etc. Scheduling is not a Wake Forest issue, we're just playing by the rules that exist right now.
 
Yea, I don't really understand bitching about non-conference opponents. We play 8 conference opponents every year, FCS opponent and sometimes a UNC out of conference game. I don't see the need to get worked up over the remaining 2 games on the schedule. Having said that, I don't understand the love affair with playing Army every damn year. I'd rather play someone in state like Charlotte or ECU.

Not to mention we get Notre Dame pretty often as a non-con opponent with the deal it has with the ACC. We've got Ole Miss coming up soon, if Kiffin is still there, he could very well have them a top 10 program.
 
This November, Clemson plays UCONN the week before playing Wake Forest. So, essentially, Clemson has two weeks to prep for the Deacs.

In a power conference and 4 OOC games, every team is going to play a couple of easy games. Bama played Mercer this year. The problem is WF playing Army 5 times in 6 years, including an extra home game for the Cadets. Play Army twice each decade, but instead playing Army 3 more times, let's play S. Carolina or Northwestern or Kentucky or Nebraska...

Exactly. Sometimes it is nice to face "scrubs" a few times a year to get younger guys some on field experience especially when you have the Clemson's, FSU's (they'll be good again), and Notre Dame's on the schedule. As a fan I'd prefer to play the best of the best every week, but I certainly get and understand the ways of non-conference scheduling.
 
I think people are conflating arguments here. I don't think anybody has a problem with playing one FCS team like Norfolk State, Elon, or Towson. Maybe the only argument there is for scheduling NC programs instead of out-of-state programs.
 
So I know that the major programs pay(?) for the cupcake games, but does every home team pay for OOC home games, and if so, does the rate depend on how bad the opponent is?
 
You don't pay for OOC games if it's a home-and-home, like we have with ODU.
 
here is WF's non-con schedule for 2022:

9/1 VMI
9/10 at Vandy
9/17 Liberty

10/8 Army

I mean, that's a crummy schedule
