Here's how I think our OOC should look:

1. Directional Michigan
2. 1-AA Baby Seal/Other MAC team
3. Notre Dame
4. Rotating big name school

Have ND and the big name home/away schedules switched (so when we go to ND, the big name is at home and vice versa). Now, if the Big 10 adds a 9th conference game, drop the 1-AA clubbing. Keep one of the directional schools there to keep it loyal to the state. This schedule always gives us 7 home games, too.

I think just about everyone would like that. Except for our athletic department budget. The money generated from an additional home game each year seems to be the big sticking point with scheduling another big name school.

This seems to have turned into a thread about what nice OOC matchups we could come with. But the OP was asking what other team might make for a good rivalry. I gotta go with West Virginia on that one. Assuming a long successful RR tenure at Michigan, a UM/WVU rivalry could be reeeeeal ugly.
