Non-conference games you'd like to see scheduled?

Two teams for personal reasons:

 

Clemson -- my best friend went to school there and we travel during the fall to see college games like people like to visit every MLB ballpark.

Texas A&M.  To see a game where the 12th man started.  It disgusts me that kids and/or revisionist historians think fucking Seattle came up with the 12th man.

App State. we need a tie breaker. #BagsPackedForBolivia

Kentucky - because they talk shit about the ESS EEE CEE, even though they suck hairy monkey balls.

Plus, I live 20 min from that campus - it would be fun to beat the shot out of them.

UNC home and home would be fun.

I wouldn't go on a road trip to Morganhell, but WVU would be interesting.

Georgia, USC, and Miami (YTM)

I'd like to play Arizona State, Oklahoma State, Miami, Tennessee.

These teams aren't power houses at this time but they tend to field solid teams and we don't play them very often.

Army. We need a chance to even our record against them

I'm excited to see Ucla on the future schedule; they were the team I otherwise would have typed.

 

Besides them...

Any Pac-12 school, especially Stanford.

Georgia/ LSU/ Auburn

Tennessee/ Florida/ South Carolina

Texas ( I like the idea of them replacing Notre Dame as our "go to" non-conference opponent)

Army.

ND, Texas, and anyone else who isn't afraid of heading north of the Mason-Dixon line.

Michigan play at LSU at night. It seems like the atmosphere there is incredible, and they are coming up to Wisconsin, so they are not afraid to come north to fulfill a home-and-home. USC, Florida, Florida St would also be teams i would like to see a home-and-home with.

to see a few really good schools on the sched: Cal Texas The service academies Washington Virginia Stanford Far as ND goes, sorry, but you were on our schedule and you chose to opt out. I'd much rather see Wisconsin on our home and away every year than you.

Home and home with Texas or A&M.

Just because it would only take me an hour to get there and it's almost a sure thing, a home and home with Syracuse would be nice

either at Marshall or at Ohio U. be nice to have a quick drive for a game. a game at UK would be fun too.

Michigan is going to va tech without a return home game?

1. Texas tech- one of my best friends is a tech fan and we've always dreamed of a home and home. 2. LSU- home and home... Both night games. This needs to happen. 3. Bama- home and home. I think in a few years we will have closed the gap. 4. USC- home and home. But I would really love to make play here in at least October. 5 Wisconsin- it may as well be ooc. I miss those goofy bastards ;)

The last time we played them, in 1934, Willis Ward was benched because of the color of his skin. We need to play them again under better circumstances.

ND:(

Florida State, TCU, the entire SEC, USC, Arizona State.

I'd like to see some geographic spread in the non-conference schedule.  You want to attract kids from across the country, play a game in their general region twice in 4 years.

It'd be great to play a west coast / PACXX, an ESS EEE SEE or ACC team, and a team from Texas or Oklahoma every year.  This year's schedule of 4 teams all from out west is D-U-M-B dumb, though I appreciate they all have a pulse.

Rotate around the conferences with schools that'll do home-and-home.  As much as I loved the tradition of Michigan-Notre Dame, it would be awesome to have an excuse to see campuses like LSU, Stanford, TCU, etc.

UM vs. #4, then vs. #2, then POP the Champagne--2016

Repeat above--2017, 2018, ad infinitum.  It's all about the playoffs, baby.  The Ultimate Non-Conference Games!

So many games would be interesting.

• I want ND back on the schedule in some shape or form.
• Not non-con, but I'd like to see us play Wisconsin more.
• If not a return visit, I'd like to have Iowa State come our way.
• Also personally wouldn't mind Boise State and Cincinnati and Louisville if they visit. Help strength of schedule without being a home and home.
• Home and home has been well covered. Obv. Texas. PAC10, SEC, Big 12 teams are all fine. I didn't see Missouri mentioned.

USC in the Big House
Home and home with Tennessee
Night Game LSU

No fucking way Michigan will play at Waldo and I'm a Western grad. It's called $$$$

Harbaugh Bowl Part Deux

After the Moncrief situation, I want Auburn on the schedule immediately! A nice dust up with that prick Malzhan would be must see TV.

USC, UCLA, Texas.

Every year. Or some other version of top level teams during the non conference schedule. Big Ten teams include enough cream puffs to even things out

The South Central Lousiana State MudDogs.

More for the terrific road trip (it's closer to my home than Ann Arbor is), plus they rarely sell out so the stadium would have lots of maize and blue.  And we should be recruiting western PA pretty hard.

The ideal game is a well-known school that may not be all that great at football.  Think the inverse of App State.  And they have to have a big enough stadium that they come close to filling to make an away game worth it.  Examples, at least based on recent years: Tennessee, Miami, Syracuse, Texas (I know they're on the schedule already, for when my 4yo is in high school), South Carolina, Stanford, Cal.

If we can get one of the "big boys" to agree to a home-and-home, then let's do it: USC, Alabama, Texas A&M, Georgia, Auburn, LSU, Florida State.
