I guess many conferences (at least the b12 and whatever liberty is in) have just given up on home-and-homes for conference opponents and have instead adopted the "play the same team in the same place on back-to-back nights"

This is the Covid season format. Why are they still doing it?

This is the Covid season format. Why are they still doing it? They aren’t still doing it. Last season went back to home and home but with the addition of teams and travel costs… among other things, this model saves money. They chose this model over doing a East/West or North/South division philosophy.

thanks for posting in this format instead of embedding a tweet. my adblock/security settings block tweets from showing up here (I can quote the post and pull the tweet URL from there and visit it directly, but it is much easier to just click on a direct link like yours)

The conference schedule would be stacked in Texas’s favor 🙄 it is? Based on the schedule, yes. I don’t know the stats for Texas’s overall win-loss record at home, but I do know that Texas has only lost two conference games in the last two seasons; both of which were on the road (Baylor and Iowa State). They also got pushed to 5 twice by Kansas twice on the road over the last two seasons. They’re facing all of these teams at home, where they haven’t lost a conference game since 2014. They’re also have BYU - the strongest of the new teams - at home too. The teams they’re facing on the road (Oklahoma x2, West Virginia x2, and UCF) are lower tier teams and should be wallops for Texas. The only difficult teams they’re facing in the road are Kansas State, TCU (both of which are one-off games), and Houston for a double header. Houston was good last year and may be able to sneak in a win, but I doubt they’ll be able to take both considering Texas’s depth. Texas may take a loss or two, but having the bulk of the big matches at home gives them a huge advantage.
