They count as a conference game next year. They will be eligible for championship and bowl game in 2013.

That's true but he didn't ask about TB teams. He asked if you can move teams around.

I have made many changes and I haven't seen the schedule be messed up, unless you mean some rivals won't play each other. That can and does happen at times. Overall I think the logic is pretty good for schedules.

Logic? 2016 with San Jose, in the WAC in a promotion/relegation set up. First conference game is not until week 7 even though conference settings have conference games starting in week one, and that's 4 straight home games followed by 4 straight away games.

Yeah, that's great logic.

[patsfan1993]

Setting conference games to week 1 doesn't mean they will start in week 1 it simply means they can start as early as week 1. I have all my conference schedules set to start week 4. I don't have problems like you have. Perhaps the logic is flawed because your parameters are flawed. The output is only as good as the input.

How else would he be able to use UMass, UTSA, or Texas State?
