This actually makes me sick to my stomach and would gladly say this to Neil if I ever meet him in the near future.
The issue is that the schedule is centered around math, not names.

In the past, people overlooked the OOC due to having solid A10 teams that got people excited. X, VCU, GMU, etc. There were some solid names in the last 10 years on the OOC, but many of them were scheduled when the iron was hot and they ended up being lower tier SEC schools or other conferences where they weren't that productive. Yes....beating Bama and other SEC schools looks good on TV...but sometimes the math isn't there.

It is all a numbers game. Good mid majors that aren't exciting when their names are called can really help. Not to mention, say a team like WKU...more games like that means more yearly "rivals" that may fire up the base a little bit. Yearly series with the OOC, yes Miami, at least drew interest from the fans...versus Embry Riddle or Southern Gateway CC in southern Georgia.
