SCHEDULE QUESTIONS

[Mr.Coach Mode]

Does your schedule get tougher as your team goes up in prestiege? I realize your conference opponents won't change but will your non conference game opponents get tougher? For instance as UMASS will I eventually not have FCS teams scheduled for me and have instead more ranked teams? I was 8-4 last season and this year play an FCS team and #14 Florida State. I don't change my schedule I just play the schedule I receive each season. Should I add teams during bye weeks? Also one year I only had 11 games on my schedule does this happen to anyone else?

never really see much "logic" in non-conf scheduling, also never really stick with default schedule past year 1.

the game shouldn't allow you to schedule more than 12 games in a season basically because it is a NCAA rule. you can play only 11 games but you still fall under the same bowl eligibility rules, 6 FBS wins to be bowl eligible.

I would suggest you set your own non-conf games to suit your wants/needs, I know for my teams I have to manually set certain rival games.
