How We Wound Up With Buffalo

[JayWalker]

He could have gotten an FCS game in about five minutes. TAMU-Commerce was looking. He knew that.

Buffalo went 0-3 with an FCS loss to start ‘22.
They were in a bowl game. Cajuns can’t take them lightly.

A 6-6 regular season against a bunch of teams who probably couldn’t win a high school state championship in Texas. Our standards have changed a lot from being a top 25 team to saying we can’t take Buffalo lightly in a mere 2 years time. Lol

We aren't in a position to take anyone lightly. That included teams we played in 2021. We won seven games by a touchdown or less.

Just looked at our schedules from 1997 -2010, we played multiple P-5's (and AAC).

1997: Pittsburgh, Ok. St., Texas Tech, TAMU, Washington St., Tulane
1998: Arkansas, UCF, Tulane, Oklahoma St.
1999: Ok. St, Texas Tech, Houston, Washington St., Tulane
2000: Texas, Texas Tech, Tulane
2001: Minnesota, Arizona St, UCF
2002: TAMU, Minnesota, Houston, LSU, Arkansas
2003: South Carolina, Houston, Minnesota, Ok. St.
2004: Kansas St.
2005: Texas, UCF
2006: LSU, TAMU, Houston
2007: South Carolina, UCF, Tennessee
2008: Illinois, Kansas St.
2009: Kansas St, LSU, Nebraska
2010: Georgia, Ok. St, Ole Miss

I see a big drop off after we get to the Sunbelt, but even more starting the Hudspeth years....Why can't we get back to this type of scheduling?

We do not want to go back to 3 money games a year. That is going backwards. Honestly we are in a position now where the easier the schedule the better. We go 12-0 or 11-1 we are almost guaranteed the playoff spot.
