    just curious why so many people across WBB boards call out of conference games preseason games. I guess I am thinking of pro FB where preseason games are actually games that are played before the season (exhibition games) and don't count in the season record.

    It jars me when I read someone refer to OOC games as preseason since those OOC games count towards the season record. Kinda like I have to reset and realize that they are talking about OOC games, although the wording used is wrong.

    Anyway, just curious why so many call the OOC games preseason games. I have noticed that trend increasing over the past few seasons.

    Maybe to distinguish from exhibition games? I don't know but I prefer OOC as well. Preseason does not register with me.

    I think the NFL used to use the "exhibition" term and then changed to preseason as a marketing tool -as if that meant those games were more legit lol
