    Possibly Texas Tech or Iowa. Closer, but hardly around the corner.

    I think this is the article you are citing:

    Delayed flights, NFL advice and epic rants: How traveling in expanded conferences is impacting teams

    Indeed, it’s a good piece considering this new problem. I do wish that they had referenced expected wins and losses, as most teams lose on the road, so that represents a confounding factor. For comparison, the SEC this year is 80% at home and 44% on the road.

    Moreover, it does seem like they think the biggest issue is jet lag and getting good sleep, which wouldn’t be such a problem for Florida, as the tournament format allows teams to travel early and play more than one game during the trip (you hope). Indeed, one of the solutions suggested in the article is bunching the games up on long trips.
