BGA also says that McCorkle is presently content to stick with Dartmouth's current UNH/Competitive Patriot/Cupcake slot of OOC games.

It's hard to argue too much with him. But we will see if he changes his mind in a few years...

No rush, but the change is inevitable. It will happen no later than Dartmouth winning the Ivy League, getting seeded low and then getting shellacked by one of the top four or five seeds.

McCorkle will come around. The teams which think that they can win the Ivies now will start upgrading their schedules right away. The programs who are still trying to get competitive within the conference have bigger issues to address first.

The FCS playoffs are structured so that the top seeds get byes. So we don't meet the big boys until round two (as Yale did).

I think that the more likely scenario that causes an upgrade in schedule would be if a co-champion or 5-1 second place team gets passed over for an at-large spot. Granted, Harvard's 2025 OOC was not impressive. But they got their asses handed to them in the playoffs, so perhaps the FCS powers that be are not charitable to us next time...

Wish this Board had an edit feature, part 539.
