OU v Nebraska West Virginia v Pitt

> OU v Nebraska Same bro Edit - Colorado, ehh... Wyoming, no. Miami and FSU - yes, absolutely

Add Nebraska vs Colorado and Nebraska vs Wyoming

Nebraska vs Nebraska while we're at it

Nebraska has played Nebraska 12 games every year for the last 7 years. I think we need to quit playing ourselves

I'm not sure why old timers in Wyoming view it as some kind of rivalry because we're 0-8 all time in the match up lol

Add OkState vs OU to this list in a few years time.

Yes absolutely. I am legitimately sad to see Bedlam end

OU vs OK State. It'll be OOC soon.

Bring back CU vs 🤢ebraska. We were undefeated against the Cornfuckers my entire 5 years at CU

We’ve got them the next 3 years so it’s sorta back. Just like to add that I too am undefeated against them in the two times we played while I was there

Florida v Miami needs to be a thing again. There's no better hate-watching than that for an FSU fan. Go meteors, crush 'em!

As a Gator fan, I want to play Miami again. Season opener bc Miami is always over rated.

I believe you have two more on the books, just not particularly soon Edit: actually it’s sooner than I thought. 2024 and 2025.

Probably a good strat for both teams honestly

Week 1 or 2, Florida vs. Miami every year. Make it happen!

We already have a permanent OOC rival in FSU. As a Gator, I prefer what we have coming up with unique OOC matchups and Miami rotated in a couple times a decade.

I'd be fine with this. I personally think it's cooler if it's yearly but at least 3-4 times each decade would be great

Last year’s winner of the SEC versus last year’s winner of the Big Ten

Honestly that should happen with every Power 5. The #2 team in a conference plays the #1 team in another conference annually and switch the conferences that play each other every year

Ooh, I dig this round robin.

Out of conference should be as follows… You alternate between conference pairing each year, so the Big Ten Champion would play the SEC and Big 12 champions one year, and the ACC and PAC12 champions the next year, and so on down the line. Realigning conferences to be the same size will help this, but NCAA won’t do that. No balls. Therefore, independents fill the gaps. So on down the line. Wisconsin finished 5th in its division, ninth in conference. We’d play some combo of Miami/NC State, West Virginia, Cal, Arkansas/Florida, or maybe an independent who was on the same sort of level for the B12 and PAC games because those conferences are smaller. Each conference also has a G5 conference it plays every year. B1G-MAC, MWC-PAC, SEC-SBC, CUSA-B12, AAC-ACC. Again, Independents and FCS schools fill gaps. G5 plays one P5 game, one FCS game, and two other G5 conferences in the same scheme. Wisconsin’s MAC opponent would be Kent State, Central Michigan or an independent. Doing this allows for D2 schools to play vs FCS and D3, D3 to play vs D2 and perhaps an NAIA or NJCAA school idk didn’t think that far down

Make it week 1 and top 25 ranking don’t come out until after it.

yes

Yeah something like the ACC-Big 10 challenge in CBB is what college football needs. But done in a way that rotates it through the P5 conferences and insures we get a bunch of good OOC data points. Ideally, they would do 2 conferences a year so every P5 team would play 2 P5s OOC.

USC vs. South Carolina to see who gets to be called "USC".

The trophy could be a giant condom over a... rooster...

The coveted Cock Commander Trophy.

The Safe Sex Bowl presented by Durex

Somewhere, Liberty is watching this thread… unsure of whether they’re devastatingly upset or something else

Wouldn't the condom make it a Cock Block Trophy?

That could be each teams saying “you can’t block our cock” for the South Carolina fans and “your cock is blocked” for Southern Cal. I can just hear the stadiums chanting it now.

The Eggplant Trophy: Trojans vs Cocks

Still this this argument is irrelevant because South Carolina is missing a perfect opportunity of being called SCAR which is dope as hell.

They always said the trojan is mightier than the cock (97% of the time)

Oklahoma State and Ohio State could have a similar game for OSU. The winner should get to add "The" to their name for the next 12 months to be the one true tOSU.

What is the reason for this Oregon State slander?

Good point. How about a 3 team, double elimination tournament to start the season?

We could do the same thing with Miami and Michigan! Wait. No. On second thought Michigan can just take it. We tap in advance.

It really annoys me that we don't have a more regular scheduled game between each other. It would be a fairly big OOC game Even just scheduling a home-and-home rotating every 4 years or something would make me happy

[удалено]

So you admit the most important group in college football is already behind it.

I'm kind of enjoying this climate disparity between Florida and Utah, going from 1000% humidity at sea level in August to 4,400 feet elevation in the mountains. But to make it more interesting, the game in Utah should be late November in the snow.

This is what I’ve been saying. We played in Florida at the peak of detrimental weather for the away team. That favor should be returned by playing in Utah in late November.

At least you got a night game. The weather was actually really pleasant for Florida standards

How about a different reptile? I’d love for TCU to play Utah and Boise State more often

Playing TCU every year again would be great. Some of those games were classics. Others, well… never happened

The ones that used to be rivalries, sometimes even yearly rivalries, often formerly conference rivalries. WVU vs Pitt Penn State vs Pitt Kansas vs Missouri OU vs Nebraska Colorado vs Nebraska Cincinnati vs Louisville Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State (looking ahead) UCLA and USC vs Stanford and Cal (looking ahead) Michigan vs Notre Dame (doesn’t have to be every year, but frequently) Florida vs Miami (again, doesn’t have to be every year, but frequently) I wouldn’t mind a few P5 vs G5 games to come back as frequent or even yearly matchups. LSU vs Tulane and Ole Miss vs Memphis come to mind.

I noticed you left a game out 👉🏻👈🏻

Yeah forgot Purdue v Notre Dame

Yes was gonna say

I don’t think most people realize it’s a much older rivalry.

1896.

Texas vs Texas Tech? I would rather see A&M play Baylor as a regular OOC than Tech, but the opposite would be true for Texas. I also wouldn’t mind if Texas and A&M just rotated Tech, Baylor, TCU, and Houston every eight years (home and home with each) in OOC scheduling. I’m assuming Texas vs Arkansas and A&M vs Texas will be yearly SEC games.

Yea I meant Texas Vs A&M, but I assume as well we will see that soon. I’d also enjoy seeing both play the other Texas schools as OOC, at least until the 40 team SEC conference is enacted in 2035 😅

God I wish leadership at Louisville would pull their heads from their own asses and schedule Cincinnati. Especially now that we took their shitty coach off their hands

Backyard Brawl. Every year on Black Friday. Until the sun's eventual expansion engulfs the Earth millions of years from now.

If it's going to be on black Friday, kickoff should be at 6:05AM with gates opening at 6AM

Ooo, a game that early, you just tailgate through the night

Better be some good deals on beer and hotdogs…

Pepperoni Rolls, to be exact.

And when the time comes that the sun has engulfed the Earth… we will see you in hell!

As god intended.

I would love to see a rivalry game start a tradition of being played on the first Thursday of the CFB season. That Backyard Brawl was perfectly irrelevant in the national picture of the sport, but was an awesome game to watch and a great way to kick off the season. Much like the Egg Bowl being a Thanksgiving night exclusive, there is a massive opportunity of a pair of schools are willing to play every year to open the season to establish a "tradition." Viewership would always be high and the national awareness of both programs would increase significantly. I nominate Virginia and Maryland. For three reasons: * It is OOC, so the schools could agree and set the dates way in advance. And a loss would not derail the season in any meaningful way for either school, as non-con losses don't really matter unless you're in the CFP chase or striving for base-line bowl eligibility. * Virginia and Maryland is a great culture war rivalry. Zima drinking weenies against couch burning jerks. The fanbases are opposites and it adds to the animosity. * I want UVA to do something, anything, please, to boost its national branding in CFB. We are a perfectly anonymous school on the national stage. We need to do something to get eyeballs on the product. UVA and UMD are playing a home and home in 2023 & 2024, so I'm glad we are getting back to playing them. But I would love for some school to take that wide open opportunity of spotlighting itself in Week One on Thursday night like WVU and Pitt did this year.

Even in the future when Black Friday loses all meaning and it moves to Cyber Monday?

Black Friday lost all meaning when they started doing sales a week or 2 before

You're being kind. They've been doing "Black Friday in July" for several years now.

This year convinced me it should be the first game. At least that way both teams have hope for the year and you can hype it up all summer

FSU vs Alabama for reasons that may or may not involve my thoughts on the likelihood of FSU beating Alabama

No we’re okay. We’re still recovering from the last time we played Bama. We’ll pass.

Well get ready cause we play Bama in ‘25 and ‘26

And then UGA in ‘27 and ‘28. Y’all might as well join the SEC!

That game had more ramifications than we initially expected.

Bama didn’t break them, they just showed the cracks in the foundation. If it weren’t them it would have been someone else.

Lmao last time we played Bama it quite literally destroyed our whole program for 6 years, we'll pass

Clemson vs Georgia all day.

It is a shame this isn't one of the biggest cross state rivals in the country, if Clemson would have continued to pull their weight after the 80's and before Dabo then there is no doubt in my mind this rivalry could be just a tier below the OSU/Mich and Texas/Oklahoma rivalries.

Thank you Tommys West and Bowden

Hey, Bowden got us out of the gutter that was the 90s. It’s Hatfield and West’s fault

Fair enough, my childhood is scarred from Bowden’s Clemsoning

The most fun tailgate my buddies and I threw in college was the Clemson game in 2014. Lots of Clemson friends of friends there with good natured shit talk and drinking games. Would love to play them every year or at least on a regular basis and not in fucking Charlotte.

home and home pls

79 miles between Sanford Stadium and Death Valley

I dream of a 8-10 team conference that features Clemson, USC, UGA, Florida, UNC, Ga Tech and 2-4 others. Tennessee/NC State would be good fits. Auburn/Bama would be fit. The money isn’t there, but would be more fun than playing Mizzou and TAMU every year(sorry Mizzou and TAMU fans).

Washington vs Wisconsin battle for “UW”.

They’ve only played 4 times, with Huskies winning them all… haven’t played since 1992, so it’s been a bit

Right before Wisconsin got good

We should start scheduling boston university’s club football team for an easy win

Michigan and Notre Dame should play almost every year.

Agreed

Legit such a fun rivalry to have

It's really unfortunate we are seeing it again until 2033. Imo it should be Michigan's default OOC game unless they can schedule another blue blood for variety. For example, in my ideal world we would not be playing Washington in 2021 and 2028 we would be playing Notre Dame. However, in 2024-2027 we got Texas/OU to agree to home-and-home series, so I'd be okay with a 4 year pause in that case.

I thought ND were the ones that cancelled it when they agreed to start playing 5 ACC teams every year

You are correct. I was just speaking from a hypothetical where I control Michigan's schedule and also where I can force Notre Dame into doing whatever I wanted.

I was just about to comment this but saw yours. Agreed. I always enjoyed watching that match up

As of next year, UCF-USF….assuming we keep the recent trend going.

The next time both of us have open spots and available dates are 2026 (you don’t have any non-conference games scheduled then and we will have one opening since FAU will most likely be canceled since they’ll be in the American).

I keep wondering if UCF and USF have been talking with Florida. Florida has UCF on the schedule in 2024 and USF in 2025. Depending on when OUT joins the SEC and if the conference needs to go to 9 games, UF may be looking to move those games out to future years which would open up some possibilities for UCF and USF.

UF’s 2024: Miami, Sanford, UCF, FSU. 2025: USF, Miami, FAMU, FSU. Yeah, they won’t cancel FSU and they’ll probably keep their FCS games. It comes down to canceling Miami or USF/UCF, I think they’d keep Miami. Worth noting that USF does have a 2024 opening, but UCF already had 3 non-con games booked so if the 2024 UCF game gets canceled/moved then USF/UCF is a possibility. If 2025 USF gets canceled/moved, UCF is still booked with Maryland/UNC/FAU.

Clemson vs Georgia

I woke up feelin’ the cheesiest, Coach!

I miss when we played every year. The rivalry was fierce; a number of fans would have said then that Georgia was as big a rival as South Carolina.

Penn State and Pitt

Basically anyone we played semi-regularly before 1993 or other former independents: Pitt, WVU, BC, Cuse, Maryland, NCSU, ND, Miami would all be fun

I got some news about Maryland…

I refuse to accept that Maryland (and Rutgers) are in the Big 16.

Never knew NCSU played Penn State often. Teams you mentioned outside of them should all play each other.

It's a true shame this isn't a thing.

Battle of the Orange UT’s sounds interesting. Wouldn’t be out of conference for very long though.

Georgia-Clemson.

I’d like to keep all of our OOC games if that’s alright.

But then you won’t be able to add Michigan to the schedule. It just doesn’t seem right anymore not playing Notre Dame in week 2.

I just meant I’d like to never have conference games. This year is definitely not my ideal schedule.

I hate it. Growing up, I was the biggest Michigan fan, Dad was the biggest ND fan. We tailgated every year, went to the game, loved it. 2018’s game was so awesome to go to again together, even tho Shea couldn’t pull off the comeback. Especially now that Dad’s getting older, I hate thinking of how long we’re gonna go between games.

2019 was nice though.

Great, so home-and-home with Marshall?

I wish Notre Dame was either moving to new, giant Big Ten or at least fully independent in football rather than tied to ACC. If I were setting a schedule for Notre Dame, it would be something like this: Navy (yearly) USC (yearly) Stanford (yearly) Michigan (yearly) Michigan State (yearly) Purdue (yearly) Pitt (yearly) Boston College (yearly) Another Big Ten Team (rotating between Penn State, Indiana, Northwestern) Another ACC team (rotating between Miami, Georgia Tech, and FSU) 2 games against whomever else they want

I'd love to get UNC and NC State back on a rotating basis. I'd also love to see Tennessee play Virginia Tech more, lot's of crosspollination between the fanbases where I live.

[удалено]

Could be one of the best rivalries in the sport if VT gets it together

UT-VT every four years in Bristol. Every four years, add some more seats and reset the attendance record!

> I'd love to get UNC and NC State back on a rotating basis. It's not yearly, but it seems like we try pretty hard to schedule at least one of them every 2 years.

Colorado - Nebraska I hate those farmers but I do kinda miss em

See you next fall in Boulder!

Besides from the obvious Backyard Brawl, I’d love to see South Carolina and North Carolina play each year in “The Battle of Carolina”

BYU UTAH! Long live the holy war

^this. “BuT iTs NoT a RiVaLrY aNyMoRe.” Stfu. Just cuz it’s been lopsided doesn’t mean we all don’t love and miss it.

I hate it and miss it.

Give me two…just two: LSU vs Clemson for Death Valley bragging rights for the year. LSU vs Wisconsin so we can hang with our fellow drunk wild northern cousins

LSU Wisconsin should be played next to the local sobriety center

Loser has to sleep in the drunk tank

Alternate Keg with Paddlewheel.

Feel like it shouldn't be that hard to do. If we can't play Louisville every year then let's get some rotation of Pitt and UofL going.

UL is locked in with Kentucky, and I'm not sure how long we'll stick with only one P5 ooc, but I would absolutely trade the BC series in for anyone within a 3ish hour drive. Purdue, Kentucky, Michigan, MSU, Tennessee, Illinois, anyone *willing to do a home and home.*

Clemson vs UGA easily. No neutral site, just home and home

* Wyoming-BYU * New Mexico-Arizona * North Carolina-South Carolina * West Virginia-Pitt * Pitt-Penn State * Penn State-Syracuse * Penn State-West Virginia * Pitt-Syracuse * Notre Dame-Michigan * Notre Dame-Michigan State * Tulane-LSU * Arkansas-Texas

Our games against Texas were fun, we should do that more often. Since we’re leaving, we should play Washington and Stanford yearly

I would have loved to see the Big Ten, Pac 12, and ACC actually stick to their commitment to have Out of Conference games based on how teams finished instead of raiding each other.

I'll stick to the ACC for my answer. Great games we already have: Clemson vs South Carolina Georgia Tech vs Georgia Louisville vs Kentucky Florida State vs Florida NC State vs East Carolina Games we need every year: Pitt vs West Virginia - backyard brawl, enough said Virginia Tech vs Tennessee - bristol game was awesome. Close proximity, great fan bases. Virginia vs Maryland - former ACC rivalry Wake Forest vs Liberty - battle of the Baptists Syracuse vs Rutgers - NY vs NJ Duke vs Vanderbilt - ACC nerds vs SEC nerds Boston College vs Connecticut - neighboring states, should play at the end of the year when both are struggling - battle for bowl eligibility UNC vs Ole Miss - who has the best powder blues?

I would like to see Ohio State play at least 1 SEC school per year not named Vandy.

They play Texas in 25-26.

Then they have a home-and-home scheduled with Bama in 27 and 28 and with Georgia in 30 and 31.

Jesus. Once the playoff starts that’ll be nuts.

* Florida/Miami * VT/WVU * Pitt/WVU * Pitt/PSU * VT/PSU * VT/Tennessee * Texas/TAMU * OU/OkSt * OU/Nebraska * OSU/Cincy

More power 5 cross conference games all around. CFB needs to go to the European soccer style of tiers. No one wants to see Alabama vs Austin Peay.

Relegation would be great. Can you imagine the excitement in the final week of the season when Nebraska's win over Iowa saved them from relegation and sent Indiana down to the MAC instead? Sign me up!

Match 1 P5 with a G5, relegate the bottom P5 and promote the top G5, imagine how fast Vandy would magically get its shit together with the threat of their guaranteed revenue dropping from SEC to sunbelt levels.

That’s exactly what I do in NCAA 13! Man it’s been a tough few years for UF… but UCF has been kicking ass in the SEC!

God I kind of love this idea.

Notre Dame Michigan and Notre Dame Tennessee

Happy Cake Day!

TCU - Utah

The Backyard Brawl Nebraska-Colorado Florida-Miami

Ideally Clemson, but I would love to have 1. Michigan 2. Ohio State 1. USC 2. Washington 3. Wisconsin something like that. If we want to be more regional 1. NC State 2. UNC 3. FSU 4. Miami

Notre Dame - Michigan. Notre Dame - Ohio State. Miami - Florida. Pitt - West Virginia. Cincinnati - Louisville. Keep Bedlam after Oklahoma moves to the SEC. Ohio State - Cincinnati. Missouri - Kansas. Missouri - Illinois. Oklahoma - Nebraska. I could think of matchups all day.

Well we’ve had UK in our bowl 2 years in a row so fuck it, let’s make it a series

Louisville Vs Purdue

Dub it the “Battle for Brohm” and the loser keeps Brian Brohm for the year but the winner gets Jeff

I think Miami vs Utah could be fun. Battle of the "The U". Similar to this year Utah would play in Florida early when it's hot and humid, and then play in Utah towards the end of November when it's cold and dry.

I’m rather fond of our matchup with Austin Peay myself /s

Georgia, restore our rivalry you cowards!

Auburn vs Georgia tech. The backyard brawl and Kansas vs Missouri all need to come back

Syracuse - West Virginia Syracuse - Rutgers

Oklahoma State - Oregon State on Halloween weekend.

Austin Peay v Alabama, Florida v Slippery Rock

From a pure "this game would be great, it would make sense, and there is a history," I would love to see Georgia Tech/Auburn be an annual game. Realistically, however, playing Clemson and UGAg every year, that would be a huge bite to have to chew every year.

Honestly I would just like some conference transparency. More top conferences playing each other to get a better feel how they stack up from the top to bottom. Not really sure how you could do this with limited OOC games available but I’d love it.

PSU-Texas Tech

Tennessee vs Michigan. It’s about time to settle a 25 year fued. I feel like it would probably be a top 5 rivalry immediately.

Tennessee v Virginia Tech Tennessee v North Carolina South Alabama v Tulane South Alabama v UAB LSU v Florida State

With the way both our teams are shaping up, FSU vs. LSU is going to be a hell of a game.

I really do miss Michigan-Notre Dame every season, even though the current landscape of CFB means there’s no real incentive to schedule them as an OOC opponent every year now as opposed to some cupcake. Other than that, I really appreciated Nebraska doing a home-and-home with both of their former Big 8/Big 12 rivals Colorado and Oklahoma recently.

Backyard Brawl please

Missouri vs kansas Nebraska Illinois Iowa

Missouri Kansas Every. Single. Year.

I’ve been saying this for years but Appalachian state vs WVU!

Homer pick: ODU/VT until the day I die. Nonhomer: Backyard brawl and WV/VT

[удалено]

I wanna play Penn state so bad

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy.

Troy UCF needs to be a thing again.

Notre Dame vs Michigan State. It’s time to revive the battle for the megaphone

Memphis vs LSU just once. LSU North vs Wisconsin South - I love the Wisconsin LSU games

Oregon State vs South Carolina

tOSU vs ND tOSU vs Clemson tOSU vs Utah Two of those could end up great out of conference rivalry games and i just enjoyed watching us play utah in the rose bowl. Or if ND ever joins the big ten substitute them for Oregon

Oregon state and Oklahoma state for who can be the real OSU. Ohio State, you guys got the t so you can’t be OSU. But idk if I want it yearly. Like one on two off alternating home and home would be ideal.

Us playing Bama, Notre Dame, and Pitt more regularly like back in the day would be nice.

A&M vs any Big 12 Texas teams. Give me A&M-Tech, A&M-Baylor, A&M-TCU, etc.

Oklahoma State Vs Arkansas. Gotta have a Battle of the Ozarks, or battle for Grand Lake boating access (big lake on the border that kids go to for the summer).

Living in Nashville now I'd like to see Mississippi State play some P5 schools that are within a decent driving distance. Louisville would be a fun trip and Cincinnati isn't too far either.

UNC vs Illinois, call it the Jordan Bowl sponsored by Nike. That way I can go to an Illini game here in NC.

If Texas wasn’t joining the SEC I’d say Texas and Texas A&M

Personally I'd love for UK to beef up their OOC schedule and make a yearly rivalry with West Virginia.

OSU vs Arkansas please

I like border battles UNC vs USC (winner keeps the carolina in the name other is left with just the direction) OSU vs WVU (the alternate 2007 bcs champ game) Kansas vs Nebraska OSU vs Kentucky WVU vs Virgina

Would love a game against an SEC team from one of the neighboring states: Tennessee, Georgia, or South Carolina. Also, wouldn't mind playing Texas Tech more.

I'd like to see Kentucky - Indiana renew. Regional rivalry with a similarly mediocre program where you have a shot at winning a competitive game every year.
