I agree with Snorlax. As a fan, I just don’t get excited playing Vanderbilt or Northwestern, programs that just don’t typically have any players I’ve ever heard of.

Stanford can take a chance and schedule games that do excite me, like against UCF or Texas. But there is a major risk in doing so, as wins in those “exciting” games are no sure thing.

Is the “average” Stanford fan more excited about playing K-State than they would be if Stanford were playing Rice in a big Texas site (covid notwithstanding)? I daresay not really.
