and San Jose St. is one of them.  They have a serious "thing" with Stanford that they just can't get past.    R-E-S-P-E-C-T.  They want to be respected as co-equal among the three Bay Area football schools,  but of late they can't beat Stanford, so they have to rely on the trappings of equality:  home and home rivalry games and payouts equal to those big time teams get coming into Stanford. (Or rather, equal to what they'd get going off to get slaughtered at some other school that wouldn't schedule them home and home either)  They can't get either home and home or fantasy payouts from Stanford for a variety of reasons,  but mainly because they just don't draw large crowds, of their own fans or of ours.  Wasn't always this way, but 'tis now and you'd have to go back in time a ways to get to when it was.

But payouts aside,  San Jose has done a good job shoring up it's schedule with home/home games against slightly less daunting opponents than Auburn, both of which will be @ Auburn .
Besides Auburn, they've scheduled respectable schools which might be beatable on the road if coach Carragher continues to develop his team.

2014: @ North Dakota/ @ Auburn /@ Minnesota /@ Navy
2015  @ Auburn / @ Oregon St./  BYU in San Jose
2016  Utah in San Jose/ @ Colorado  /@ Iowa St.
2017  @ Utah / Colorado in San Jose/ @ BYU / Iowa St. in San Jose
Interesting notes:  Oregon St. isn't scheduled for second half of home/home until 5 years later, visiting San Jose in 2020.  Former SJSU coach MacIntyre doing a solid to the Spartans by tentatively scheduling them for three games, only one of which would be in San Jose.

This is evidence SJSU is moving on with their life without us, which is a good thing.
