SEC said they were evaluating it. P4 is still evolving too. Everything could change again in another year. Everything is still pretty fluid with it all.
The Washington St series is cancelled.
- Thread starter patdog
- Start date
I haven't seen that. Only thing I've seen is that they're requiring it. No reason for us to cancel the WSU series if there's no P4 mandate.
It's still there, they just said they were evaluating it with the schedule change. We're doing this for home games.
They evaluated it and kept it. They can reevaluate it in 4 years if they want to, but they'll still keep it. So much more money to be made playing Minnesota or Texas Tech than playing USM and Troy.
Conferences aren't done expanding/changing, so nothing is going to be set in stone.
The only way they cut the P4 requirement is if Florida and Georgia (and also South Carolina and Kentucky, although they don't have nearly as much demanding power) either cut off their series with their in-state rival, or both of those games become conference games. Otherwise, they'll say it's not fair that they have to play a P4 game and no one else does.
My Bad. I did not realize that Wash State is no longer in a big conference.
Yeah, the Pac-12 will not be considered a Power conference going forward and it’s far enough in the future that I doubt we got a waiver for them. This is the equivalent of us dropping a home and home with South Alabama.
We’ll replace them with somebody from the ACC, Big 12, or Big Ten.
Yeah, It’s still strange to realize they’re not. But them & Oregon St got left behind when the PAC12 fell apart.
Just flew in and out of Spokane for a cousin's wedding in MT. Spokane was okay, but Coeur D'Alene, ID and Glacier Nat'l Park in MT (about a 4h drive) were gorgeous. I'm a bit sad we're canceling this series as I was going to use as an excuse to go back to Glacier NP.
If that's the case we need to cancel the future series with Memphis and Southern Miss since those are home and home series.
Dumb dumb dumb.. was planning on making a week trip out of this. Flying up to Boise and mountain biking places like Bogus Basin and Sun Valley, then taking hwy 55 up through McCall to get to Pullman. Beautiful country.
Kinda wild we have to drop Wazzu but would meet our schedule needs by picking up Wake Forest.
Memphis won't do a 2 for 3 with anybody any more. They only do home & away, one for one series. Even if it's Ohio State or Alabama.
If Memphis wants to play SEC teams in the future, it will be on the road. Only thing that might save the series with us is we’ve got 7 home games the year we go to Memphis. If we can’t reschedule the Texas Tech series, we’re stuck with only 6 home games either way.
