Pretty much what the title says. "The agreement between the Ducks and Spartans calls for Michigan State to play at Autzen Stadium in 2014, and for Oregon to travel east the following year."
I wanted to put this in mgo.licio.us, but had no clue how. Sorry mods.
Michigan with USC?

I retract the above statement. MSU will get crushed.
Thank god its not us
too many painful memories. I'm guessing we play Stanford, with Ohio playing USC but who knows.
I expect that by the time
I expect that by the time we're playing these games we will be the favorite in just about every regular season game we play. I don't think we'll be talking about having "a chance" to win.
"Michigan Defense" is dominating everything, in every aspect of life. That's a rough definition.

Northwestern is playing a series with Stanford starting from 2015.
Northwestern has Stanford already...
I'd guess we get USC and Ohio gets anyone else available.
Go Blue!
Could be USC/Ohio
The Mort Thompson Chevrolet Ineligibowl. What a grand tradition.
2017
I don't see why this would have any effect on who we play in 2017. If anything, I would expect it makes it less likely that MSU and Oregon would get matched up then.
Eating is murder.

Man, I would love a
Man, I would love a Wolverine/Bear matchup!
A respectable team that I would expect us to beat. I agree with another post in this thread that said Stanford would foot the bill under that same description, only moreso.
But if we can't get the Cardinal, it's good to get the Bears.
And I agree about the color thing as well!

Arizona / UM, now there's a matchup.

No, I think that would be Oregon-Maryland. Maryland by itself is a visual nightmare.
Maryland vs ND
Maryland vs ND with the shiny gold helmets takes the cake. At least Maryland knows their helmets are hideous, whereas ND actually designed their's to be hip or something.
To be fair
Sparty is a visual nightmare even if they wear their "normal" jerseys

Hopefully we don't get the shaft and end up playing Washington State, but I'd think they'd put us with USC.

There is...
...definitely zero to be gained by playing Wazzu. A win means nothing, a loss is embarrassing, and Leach bends spoons with the power of his mind.
As a matter of fact I like beer.
M-UCLA
Selfishly, I'd root for a UofM - UCLA series. Back when UCLA was relevant in football, this would even make sense. I think a battle of the public Ivies, us and Berkeley would also be interesting, albeit a little further for me to travel.
UCLA
Sounds good to me (if their program begins to trend upward.) I have seen two UM - UCLA games, one at the Big House during my student days, then at the Rosebowl during my years in SoCal. I am up for two more! It would be a lot of fun beating USC though.
go blue
When the B1G-PAC agreement
When the B1G-PAC agreement came out, I anticipated that Michigan and Ohio State would play USC/Oregon. I have to say that it's pretty smart for Northwestern and Michigan State to get a jump on that potential scheduling (which starts in 2017) by already creating a [potential] rivalry. I still think they put Michigan and Ohio State up against the top two schools in the PAC, probably USC and Oregon.
Avatar is a reference to this. Go Blue!
It might not be so smart when NU & MSU end up
getting whacked.

Be careful what you wish for.
After watching Mike Leach's offenses for a long time, I want nothing to do with them.

We already have scheduled a reminder to a 1-game nightmare:

MSU is scheduling some good
MSU is scheduling some good teams. Boise St, WVU, Bama, and now Oregon. Let's go DB, get some sweet home and homes.
Oregon is taking WVU's place.
Because of their move to the Big 12.
We've got Bama for 2012 in
We've got Bama for 2012 in addition to ND. Those aren't exactly cakewalks or lame schools to play. Out of conference 2013 does look kind of bare with Akron, Connecticut (Michigan is seriously playing at their stadium? I'm so getting tickets for that game), Central Michigan, and of course ND - but one can never get too cocky. A reminder of that is we get Appalachian State again in 2014 along with ND. There's still 2 out of conference game slots availible for 2014. I'm hoping USC and then we'll probably get EMU or another MAC school.
Yeah, but I'd rather have a
Yeah, but I'd rather have a home-home with Bama than just 1 at Jerryworld. And MSU is playing ND those years too right? So 2 pretty good non-conf. teams?
What about this matchup was
What about this matchup was so tempting for MSU? Their recruiting is fading away and their talent level is going to take a major hit in the next three years. Oregon is going to run train on them.
Why do you say this?
"Their talent level is going to take a major hit in the next three years."
I'm not sure this will necessarily be the case. I’m interested to know why you think this is so certain.

Sparty's classes are really fading since they were never really high in the first place. Dantonio seems to be a good player developer although a mediocre recruiter.
