We are reaching the point where the nonconference schedule discussion feels like * We won't play any more high-level nonconference games. * We will play high-level nonconference games as long as they matter as much as preseason NFL games. Doesn't have to be that binary choice
"I'm happy to play good games if it doesn't matter if we lose them" is just not as good a case as I feel people think it is
