Well, they really don't need to. This is one CFB "tradition* that is a bit weird.Crazy how far out they have to schedule those things. That why I never hold it against a team who ends up w a not so great out of conf when they scheduled other power 5 schools, no way to know how quality of opponent it end up being a freaking decade later!!
We saw BYU and Coastal throw a game together in just a few days.
Now, 3-4-5 years out, sure. But good lord teams are scheduling for the mid 2030's.
