Who in the hell scheduled playing at SDSU the week after at USC in the first place?  USC was insane enough to play Texas following the emotional Stanford game, but at least the game was at home.  Still, they were flat and needed some serious good fortune to escape without a loss.

Meanwhile, Stanford scheduled a quality team on the road after an emotional game at USC?  WTF? There is a reason Alabama plays Chatanooga the week after LSU.  Had Stanford at least played SDSU at home, they likely win, but why play SDSU at all?  Why not Idaho or New Mexico State?  Or any of the middling FBS schools not from Power 5 conferences.  You know, like San Jose State for example?  If you're going to play at SDSU, why the hell not SJSU?  Maybe I can justify SDSU in Game 1, but after at USC?  Sheer lunacy.

My biggest issue with scheduling SDSU is that we have plenty of recruiting visibility in California.  We need to play these types of games in other parts of the country.

Especially since it's literally the week after we were already in SoCal for USC.  I'm not saying we should never ever play them since we already have an annual trip down there, but doing it for two weeks straight gives it little to no recruiting value.

I liked the scheduling of SDSU. I favor Stanford playing games in California to reduce a bit of the travel (time) burden on the players, and I respect all Pac teams willing to play tough Mountain West competition. By most accounts, it was a fun environment for fans attending the game.

If Stanford had beaten SDSU, there would be no bellyaching.  Just gotta win those games.

Wasn't SDSU swapped in after a team that we were supposed to play (maybe Northwestern) backed out?

Ah, yes, thank you.

UVa backed out in 2015, so we were probably limited in scheduling options at the time.

For what it is worth, UVa lost to Indiana at home, so perhaps a little karma.  As for the supposed "tough schedule", while they do play at Boise State, they have two wins... against William and Mary and UConn, both at home.  They don't play a ranked team until #19 Louisville on November 11.
