Scheduling Mission Accomplished

Paul Zeise of the PG reports that Pitt finally filled the much-anticipated spot in their schedule with...

Florida International

Not a 1-AA team, which is a good thing. I heard a radio interview this weekend with Steve Pedersen and he sounded extremely against the idea of scheduling a 2nd 1-AA team with New Hampshire.

Personally, I know that fans like to see the big name non-conference opponents, but how many title contenders do you see scheduling those types of games? Florida plays Florida State, but to schedule big-time non-conference games is only a recipe for disaster in my humble opinion unless it's a rivalry game like say, Penn State.
