Rank the home-and-homes

Unread post by EastHallApp » Wed Sep 24, 2014 10:31 pm

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

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.

UNCC, I hope turns into our new Western Carolina, they always want to be like us but they can rarely ever beat us.

Charlotte and Old Dominion are located in very important recruiting areas.

The UMASS thing was disappointing, was really hoping for Wake.
