pretty sure the Colonial does something where they play all of their 'divisional' games and then play one or two 'non-divisional' games. this would maybe help sort out having constant 3 or 4 way BSC ties, as well as maintaining play with traditional foes.
Have not really followed how the CAA does its scheduling ... but I think you're right.
As I said in another post, I like the idea of a 6-game divisional schedule -- home-and-home and predictable from year to year, with "traditional" or even new rivalries. Then three games with the other division, meaning you play almost half of the other division every year. That still leaves 3
real OOC games for those who need body-bag games or who want to feast on a cupcake or two. With the small number of FCS teams out here in the west, that looks pretty workable.
On the other hand, as several on here have said, we need the weak sisters in the conference to toughen up. Otherwise you can win a conference game and
lose strength of schedule "points" ... like happens now in basketball.
