It's probably a stupid question, but why not roll Army-Navy in there as an optional or something?

[slide_into_first]

All questions are welcome.

[slide_into_first]

It's probably a stupid question, but why not roll Army-Navy in there as an optional or something?

Adding games now could be interpreted as if I were manipulating the outcome. . Some years we need games at the end and army-navy gets included. Likewise not putting in the big12 games yesterday. We could raise the # of games next year.

[slide_into_first]

Also, everyone but Joe M had the 100 game minimum easily so I didn't have any regular season optional games to help someone qualify.
