SIAP / Men’s CBB: KU - Villanova Announce Home & Home!

Right here is the benefit of a large playoff field. You get great matchups like this often because top-tier teams want to be prepared, win or lose, for the post-season. Awesome news.

It's also a function of a thirty game season where one loss doesn't kill you or, at least, contribute to your demise. And if a team has a reasonable expectation of winning its conference, it's irrelevant.

Agreed...10 losses doesn't kill you either :)

Additionally, football scheduling is probably driven more by revenue considerations. Even with an expanded playoff, I doubt you'd see many powers scheduling more than one home-and-home against other powers.

I think you'd see teams schedule at least one a year for resume purposes. Our best non-conference game wouldn't ever be Pitt.
 
Haven't played Kansas too much. 1-1 in the NCAA Tournament. Last regular season game was 2013, Villanova by 4.

Villanova generally plays a good schedule. We get a couple high profile national TV games each year along with the usual tomato cans.

I would like to beef it up just a little by adding in another Top-20 team since the Big East is kinda lame (Villanova and the 9 Dwarves).

Which is pretty much what they do now, unless you're Iowa, or dumb enough to get lassoed into a series with..........oh, nevermind.
