Rank the home-and-homes
Now that App has announced a half-dozen home-and-home series, how would you rate them from best to worst additions? Consider overall appeal: quality (or potential quality) of opponent, name recognition, drivability, appeal of road trip, recruiting benefit, media interest, winnability, and any other criteria you feel are important.
I would say:
1. Charlotte
2. Southern Miss
3. Old Dominion
4. Akron
5. Wyoming
6. UMass

Rank the home-and-homes
Charlotte is the worst team on the list...yet if I could only win one game on that list I would pick Charlotte. I would say Southern Miss has the most football tradition of the bunch while Old Dominion might be the best team on that list. I like the fact that all of them are winnable. Scheduling a bunch of money games against big names is a horrible idea for bowl eligibility.
