Seriously?
West Virginia and Mississippi State are exactly the type of home-and-home series we need. It’s not a Lee Fowler mindset, it’s just reality. We’re lucky if we’re considered a Tier 4 team on this landscape. Name five Tier 1 teams that have played a home-and-home (or even a neutral site game) vs. a Tier 3 or 4 over the past decade. It doesn’t happen, because there’s no incentive for them. West Virginia is easily a Tier 2, and just happens to be playing Alabama in Atlanta to kickoff this season. Mississippi State is probably what we could hope to be in the SEC. Like it or not, the only Tier 1 teams coming to C-F anytime soon are probably Florida State and Clemson.
