What should happen is irrelevant. What WILL happen is conferences scheduling to

I don't like 9 conf games. Feels like it's an advantage to the teams who wind up w/ 5 conf home games that season.

I agree. I prefer 8, or maybe even 10. But the ideal is 8, with good OOC games,

I'd love to see a mini-spring schedule of 2 or 4 games where teams could play FCS opponents.
