I want to bring back the West Virginia game.


Set-Admirable

I'd just like at least one Big East rival every year. I don't want to see the ACC implode to make it happen.


TRIKYNIKKY

Do we count?


Set-Admirable

You would if the Big 12 would let us play every year.


9liners

Solid choice. I was thinking OSU, they’d probably smoke us, but Brohm almost beat them back in the day, be fun to revisit with him as coach. Plus it’s a border game.


Rock_solid88

I'd definitely be down for a home and home with Ohio State, tough as both games would be. I like WVU because they're a beatable opponent but it would still be a solid win most years. We really had a strong budding rivalry going with them. And not to think too much like an AD, but I like when opponents bring a decent-sized crowd and WVU does. It helps the atmosphere.


braindead_jellybean

WVU please


chasetwisters

WVU is good for the old Big East rivalry days. I think we need to start playing Penn State to battle over the NoVa recruiting grounds that they have been hitting hard


braindead_jellybean

Seeing Pry against his old HC would be neat


goodsam2

VT has never played Penn State. There was a home and home but one of them was cancelled due to covid and the other one fell apart. VT was scheduling the big 10 going through most of them.


Other_Bill9725

I feel like the entire northern wing of the ACC should start playing a bunch of games with Big XII teams.


braindead_jellybean

100


XmasJaxonFlaxonWaxen

Join the B12 plz. We need to just play into the deep rivalries every year, would give us so much ratings which is what we need. VT/WVU, Louisville/Rutgers, WVU/PITT, VT/Miami were some of my favorites. Would be so happy splitting the conference in the Heartland vs Big East divisions for the B12 championship game.


braindead_jellybean

I really think we just need to bring back the old big East. I saw the rankings for 2000-2003, with over half the conference ranked at the end of the season. Peak football


XmasJaxonFlaxonWaxen

That would be ideal. Big East was my favorite conference growing up, even as an OSU fan. The rivalries just seemed so hostile and the stadium environment was so authentic.


College_Sports_Fan

Texas and Penn State would be awesome. Whiteouts look awesome.


webbed_feets

Surely you meant Texas Tech? It’s a shame those fierce rivals don’t play each other every year.


LuckyStax

Texas Tech and Penn State are fierce rivals?


WrreckEmTech

Oh yeah. Teeming with history


Artvandelay29

They *haaaaaate* each other


c-williams88

Tortillas are my mortal enemies


genzgingee

You must be new here.


vindictivejazz

Their all time series is so even that it’s only separated by a single point!


Mattp55

They are absolutely awesome. Unfortunately with how it’s been going Fox would probably big noon the game both times.  I wish PSU had more SEC OOC games too, the Auburn one was great and so was Alabama 


College_Sports_Fan

Ugh. Good point.


ViscountBurrito

Good news is that the Texas home game would now fall under the SEC’s contract, so it belongs to ABC/ESPN. Definitely not a nooner.


Mattp55

Right but they said a whiteout which obv could be a noon one. Away games I don’t care if it’s noon or night as long as I’m not attending it.  Would be a cool trip tho…


Iseedeadtriangles

It would be great, but Fox would totally ruin the fun and force a noon game.


USCDiver5152

Oregon State and South Carolina


Sbhill327

Beavers and Cocks!


BiscuitDance

“The Beavers are absolutely suffocating each of the Cocks’ pushes.” 🥵


RockdaleRooster

Second being the battle of the USCs which we did in 80 and 81. Went 1-1 btw.


SimpleChill44

Penn State and LSU. Whiteout and a night game in Death Valley.


PwnCall

There’s not enough alcohol in the whole USA for these two stadiums 


jimmy_man82

Those Tech vs A&M games were always entertaining


Balloutonu

As a tech alum, I just want us to play all the Texas schools. UT and A&M should be on some sort of rotation and keep old rivalries alive in a fun way


Old_Physics1652

Man wouldn’t it be cool if there was a conference with all the Texas teams and then a few other schools in the area like Arkansas, Ou, Osu. Man I wonder why we haven’t done this before


Newton1913

Pitt, Maryland, VATech, Penn St. pretty much any rival since Wvu really doesn’t have an attachment to anyone in the new big12.


Other_Bill9725

Can we just make the Brawl annual? I’ve traveled from Arizona for both of the last two, my five year old daughter would rather do the Brawl than Disney(!).


Newton1913

Ah but you see here my (shit eating) friend, that would simply make too much sense. Therefore it cannot be allowed!


Other_Bill9725

A God-damn-dirty-shame.


Newton1913

Truly.


SmokeyDawg2814

Raising her right!


Newton1913

Besides Cincinnati which of course we don’t play every year. That would make too much sense.


Expensive-Priority46

i want an OSU-WVU home and home


Newton1913

My family wouldn’t survive that.


Set-Admirable

Low key, that would sell really well, like us playing UNC. There are a ton of WVU alumni in Columbus.


Expensive-Priority46

i’d take off work for a long weekend in Morgantown in a heartbeat and Columbus send a lot of students to WVU as well. which is probably why we have a good amount of alums here.


timothythefirst

It always seems crazy to me that you never see WVU on top of those “top party schools” lists. I remember this girl I was friends with in college invited her cousins who went to wvu to hang out with us. I’ve never seen anyone drink that much and not become a sloppy mess lol.


5WinsIn5Days

Isn’t Syracuse also a rival? You play for a trophy and were both members of the Big 4.


Newton1913

Sure are. Pretty much anyone in the old BigE was a rival.


ultrafootdoc

Texas Tech/Penn State is the rivalry series this sub deserves


fart_dot_com

we don't deserve it, hopefully the powers that be grant us mercy and give it to us anyway


lemons21

USC/Oklahoma and Notre Dame/LSU


elhombre4

Need it. Teams should be able to just schedule grudge matches. Best scenario would be for USC to have to go to Norman for a playoff game though if we are dream booking this game.


Engine_Sweet

Insert the firehose!


to_the_victors_91

Don’t forget the Miami/Oregon matchup to complete the trifecta


512Buckeye

Ohio State and LSU Ohio State and Florida Ohio State and Florida State Basically bucket list stadiums that I have yet to visit. All of these would be night games


FSUIceman

I’m friends with some Ohio State fans who have been trying to take me to a game for a bit now. Timing has never worked out but damn do I want to go


texas2089

You may get your wish with FSU if we end up in the Big Ten lol


512Buckeye

Ready to hear that War Chant on repeat.


joefsu

The prospect of the Big 10 is so cool to me if only for the amazing away games. OSU, PSU, Wisconsin are all super high on my list.


TheHammer_44

I would kill to go watch Ohio State play in Death Valley or The Swamp. I'm gonna have to save up to catch their games down in DKR or Bryant Denny in the next few years (please don't cancel these or move them to a neutral site)


texas2089

FSU and Texas for obvious reasons. Wild they’ve never played each other before. Also wouldn’t mind having an ACTUAL home and home with LSU instead of that New Orleans/Orlando shit we got. Haven’t played in Baton Rouge since 1991. I was 2.


SucculentCrablegMeal

> Also wouldn’t mind having an ACTUAL home and home with LSU instead of that New Orleans/Orlando shit we got. This was mine. Lsu was my dream home&home and then they did the neutral & neutral...for reasons. Such a wasted opportunity. Two amazing gameday atmospheres, two big fanbases, and doable driving distance apart. A lot of my family are Alabama fans though, so hopefully that home&home doesn't get cancelled.


texas2089

I’m gonna be pissed if Bama or Georgia series get cancelled. Besides Texas those would be my top two choices so I’m hyped for those games. If we end up in the SEC we’ll be able to play them more which will be nice, but then again A&M has been in the SEC since 2012 and (through 2025 at least) Georgia STILL hasn’t been to College Station so I’d like to keep the series scheduled as is lol


SucculentCrablegMeal

Yeah Texas is on my list too, mostly just because it feels wrong they've never played. Bigg OOC games are a favorite part of the season for me, would be really disappointing to lose our biggest ones. Divisions are gone though, so probably wouldn't take that long if we do hopefully end up in the sec. Although the more teams they add, the longer it'll take of course.


Al_Barr_

Texas is always my auto go-to for this question. No-brainer, especially with each program’s current trajectory. This question is also funny because of Bama & UGA H&Hs. FSU ain’t scared. (I keep expecting a cancellation notice and it keeps not happening)


texas2089

Bama and Georgia would be my next two after Texas so I’m glad those are already scheduled. Hopefully we keep it that way.


DubbleDan

I would love a home and home with Auburn. Used to be a big rivalry back in the day.


shadowwingnut

I'm good with it as long as we can take a break for two years if Notre Dame (who we at Auburn have somehow never played a game against) deemed us worthy for a home and home


Chewiedozier567

This should be the first game of the year


Squares9718

Michigan and Notre Dame


ComradeAhriman

Needs to be an annual game, dammit


byniri_returns

Michigan State🤝Michigan Wanting Notre Dame as an annual rival


ComradeAhriman

That and hating Ohio should be held in common by all Michiganders


DuncanOhio

There is an alarming lack of Notre Dame fans in this thread. (cowards)


BuckeyeNate77

Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.


hankrhoads

This comment hurts my heart. 


According_Ad1930

😢


TyrionIsntALannister

ECU v LSU. The uniform matchup, the parties, everything. Would be glorious.


LordOfSchmeat

Everyone in attendance would be eligible for a DUI from secondhand inhalation hahaha


whistleridge

This is the one. Every game would be a Mardi Gras unto itself.


gtne91

GT- Auburn. Its been too damn long. I miss Joe Anoa'i destroying Auburn QBs.


cheapmason84

The tribal chief


AdminsAreCool

Iowa and Utah would be fun. I'd also like one with Kansas State.


HawkeyeTen

How about Clemson? I personally would love to see Death Valley and Kinnick go head to head. Really wish we'd go bigger or further with some of our nonconference opponents now and then. We haven't really done that since we played Pitt in the mid-2010s. It would be a good thing for the Iowa program, I feel.


HighLakes

1. Oregon and Washington State 2. Oregon State and Washington 3. Oregon and Miami


TJGurley

Oregon and FSU for the “why the hell did we hire Willie” bowl


markusalkemus66

All of our matchups going all the way back to 2014 have been pretty fun to watch, even if WSU lost most of them. I'm gonna miss seeing Oregon on the schedule. And sadly, even if we somehow play again, it's never gonna be in Pullman.


fart_dot_com

feel like UO-Wazzu has had some great uniform matchups the last decade too


markusalkemus66

Some games stand out for uniforms: 2014 we wore all-white at home for the first time, which was a really clean look and gave Marcus Mariota and #2 Oregon all they could handle. 2015 Oregon nicely wore all gray at home and WSU wore all-crimson to counter it. Looked like our spring game en route to a 2OT win and our first against Oregon in almost a decade. 2016 we introduced the Anthracite helmet with our all-anthracite look and dropped the hammer on Oregon. The interesting tidbit in that game was that Justin Herbert first got decent playing time in that game after Dakota Prukop got sacked for a safety in the 2nd half. The rest is history for Herbert 2018 was a different all-anthracite look, but still really clean. Oregon per tradition decided to wear exactly no school colors and lost. 2022 had Oregon wearing White-Green-White, which is a look they should wear more often. 2023 was a great one for the final Pac-12 matchup between the two with WSU in all-white and Oregon wearing their incredible throwbacks.


fireinvestigator113

Kentucky. And then maybe we make it a yearly thing. And maybe bring in a trophy. We could call it the Bourbon Barrel. It'd be pretty cool. You know, hypothetically speaking.


KuiperBelted

Basketball series restarts soon. Would be cool to see football match it.


acompletemoron

I just don’t think y’all have the bandwidth to support another OOC rival series, unless it’s just every decade or so. UL has that spot on lock


AlphaWildcat86

Agreed


Mr_Wat

In a future where Baylor is perennially good again, I’d love a long term Protestant vs Catholic series with Notre Dame.


Mr_Wat

Texas A&M is a good second.


VisibleThrill

Baylor vs A&M needs to be every year, imo, like Iowa/ISU or Clemson/SC


SmokeyDawg2814

Better jump on it before Liberty beats you to it!


worldssmallestfan1

BYU/Notre Dame?


ohitsthedeathstar

UH and Texas A&M but it’ll never happen.


relatablerobot

Outside of the usual former big east teams we used to play regularly, I still really want that home and home series with VT, I feel like we both got robbed


vindictivejazz

OSU/Arkansas - hey we’re getting a couple of these! Oklahoma State/Oregon State - Orange/Black color rush game OSU/OU - it’s Bedlam baby


radehart

I scrolled for this.


FollowYerLeader

>Oklahoma State/Oregon State - Orange/Black color rush game This should be an annual OOC game and played on Halloween weekend each year.


LwLewis22

Clemson and UGA for me. With ever-expanding conferences and a lack of true home-and-home P5 non cons for UGA, it would be nice to play Clemson every year or even like twice every five years or something like that


VisibleThrill

Even though I’d be torn on who to root for, Baylor vs TAMU needs to be every year. Bring back the battle of the brazos


lurkerspringa

A Home and Home series with Wyoming - even though Laramie is a scary place to play. Selfishly, I'd just like to take a week long trip to Wyoming & Montana and watch the dawgs play while I was out there.


J4ckiebrown

Penn State vs Texas A&M in the Cult Bowl.


relatablerobot

I thought the Cult Bowl was BYU vs Liberty


BlitZShrimp

Florida State to get revenge for Seneca being “out” at Arrowhead. UCLA for really no reason in particular. Nebby to rehash some old hate. And Mississippi State. No reason again, just think their fans are super fun and we’d have a fun time tailgating with them.


_Junk_Rat_

Bama and Oregon. Idk why, I’ve just always needed it


Thomallister1291

That's what I'm saying! I'm surprised Greg Byrne hasn't attempted to schedule that series yet.


bruggibuster

Would love this. And I have some relatives in Bama that I’ve never been able to visit, so it would make for a good trip down to watch the game too.


Moist-Consequence

That was my answer too!


Glittering_Virus8397

Notre Dame vs the Protestant schools. They could knock em out in one season I think. SMU, TCU, Liberty, Baylor..who am I missing? Edit: BYU


lottabridges

permanent backyard brawl


KingVladimir

VT and PSU was my dream home and home 🥲. My wife went to Tech, and I have 3 very close college friends engaged/married/dating Hokies. So we had a pretty evenly mixed crew of like 20-30 people ready to trip to Blacksburg in 2020. Covid obviously canned the series, but hoping the Pry connection can help revive it


BonBonVelveeta

Please please please


sharkbait_oohaha

Washington. Dawgs vs Dawgs. Also Oregon. Dan comes home and Autzen is really cool. Also Clemson because dammit let's play this rivalry somewhere besides fucking Atlanta


Thomallister1291

There was an Oregon vs. Georgia series planned, but it was cancelled mutually. Either way it was long before Dan Lanning would become a head coach.


byniri_returns

Michigan State-Notre Dame.


ItBeLikeThat19

South Carolina vs West Virginia. I want an excuse to go to Morgantown and I feel like both fan bases are similar


tdotclare

Not counting things like historical teams that I want annually (ie WVU) Virginia Tech & Michigan


HispanicaBassoonica

We just got Utah back as an in conference opponent, so I think it would be awesome to have a home and home series with Boise State considering our shared legacies as BCS busters.


grey_pilgrim_

Tennessee and Michigan. Both have big stadiums and I loved Michigan when I was up there. Tennessee and Utah for obvious reasons.


frankdatank_004

Sac St./Cal/Stanford vs. Nebraska so I can drive less than 2 hours to see my Huskers play! Also any BIG VIII team vs. Nebraska of course.


Bobcat2013

Well seeing that we already have UTSA and UNT on the books give me UH again. The last time they came to SM was a blast despite the score and I'd love for an excuse to go down to Houston.


IReallyLikeTheBears

Oregon/Arizona Washington/ASU Desert Voodoo must live on


princessprity

No I don’t want it


SaberTruth2

You will take it and you will like it.


glockymcglockface

Hawaii please


jel2184

I think an Utah/Texas series would be fun. Don’t look at my flairs for an explanation


dez_navi

1. Ohio state 2. Michigan  3. Georgia 


djc6535

Anyone in the upper half of the SEC. I'm sick of these neutral site games. Bama in Jerryworld. LSU in Vegas. I want to see these guys on the floor of the coliseum, and I want to see my boys get their heads kicked in at Death Valley. Our home & home with Auburn was amazing. Makes me sick we lost the one with Ole Miss.


Other_Bill9725

LSU-Penn State, to be played halfway through their conference schedules, rubber-match in Denver.


girlwithaguitar

I swear Notre Dame has had a home and home series with everyone else in the Big 10 BUT Minnesota


HawkeyeTen

They haven't played Indiana much either (for many decades at least), despite being literally in the same state as them. I think ND is FINALLY scheduled to do a home and home series with the Hoosiers in the late 2020s.


Midwest-HVYIND-Guy

USC and Oklahoma. OU fans would have a stroke if Lincoln beat them. I doubt he would though.


HokieDuck123

Oregon vs. Virginia Tech


69Centhalfandhalf

Texas Tech v Texas A&M, play the games at 7:00pm


Mattress666

Fun fact: Michigan and LSU have never played football as of the end of the 2023 season. My dream home and home would change that


CMCdaGoat

I want the exact opposite type of football program for fun factor so I’m going to go with Alabama or Texas A&M. I want to see Alabama fans try and stay awake at a 7:30 Stanford start with the stadium a library


jbloom3

LSU but they'll never go for it despite owing us a home game from like 30 years ago still


webbed_feets

Texas A&M’s offense competes against the defense to see who can literally burn $1million faster. The game should alternate between being played in an oil field and AT&T stadium.


Mattp55

Penn State vs Alabama again would be cool. Alternatively Penn State vs Texas A&M would be great too


Other_Bill9725

LSU. Complete contrast in style, look, and culture


hashtagjellycat

TAMA & UGA


shnoztastic

App/WVU, Rumble on the Rock or Mountaineer Mania (not the store). I've wanted it for years. Considering WVU won't schedule Marshall, this seems very unlikely.


Chewiedozier567

As a Georgia Tech fan I’d like to see them play more of the teams in the Big 10


[deleted]

[удалено]


Engine_Sweet

We just did that. I'd like Nebraska to improve, though, so it's scary like old times. Then let's do it again


huskyferretguy1

Notre Dame and Navy, every year it's at the neutral site. I want to see a game at Annapolis!


budd222

Ohio State v Boise State. I want to play on the blue field just once.


GoodGorilla4471

Tennessee again. Their fans were surprisingly nice to us when we traveled there even though we won, they got payback the next year and as far as I could tell our fans were nice to them too. It was an oddly respectful home and home that made both teams look good when they needed it most. Would definitely not be mad to see it on the schedule again


SaberTruth2

I have a lot, but I think ASU and Ole Miss would be my favorite. I want to party at The Grove, and while ASU is likely in the midst of experiencing their worst 3 year period since the US flag had less than 50 stars, I think it’s a matchup we would expect to be competitive in. Honorable Mention: Florida State, or Miami (if they get their own stadium). There are 3 teams that would def be in my top 5, but we actually already have the series on our schedule. LSU, Florida, and Texas.


Ialwayssleep

Alabama and Oregon


Moist-Consequence

I would love to continue playing Utah, but to add a new one I’d go with Alabama. I just really need Dan to beat Kaleb DeBoer for my own sanity, plus seeing Bama visit Autzen would be fun


Thomallister1291

I also want to see us traveling to Bryant Denny Stadium, god, an Oregon vs. Alabama home and home series would be glorious!


DollarLate_DayShort

As much as I love the RRS… I would enjoy once every 4 years a H&H with ØU


GoBlue2007

LSU or Georgia would be cool.


SpreaditOnnn33

The fact that West Virginia and UK refuse to reignite the Hatfield-McCoy rivalry is a damn shame. Or probably whats keeping the eastern part of Kentucky from becoming a series of smoking holes in the ground


skoducks

I was in school when we started the We Want Bama chant and it just hasn’t happened. I’d still love to play Bama even though it won’t be the same without Saban


Rickbox

The long anticipated Oregon v. Alabama.


abmofpgh

Penn State and Pitt


Red_Jester-94

Ohio State vs Texas A&M. Mostly for the bands tho.


AlternateWorking90

Arkansas State, Memphis, Tulane, Tulsa, any Local G5 school. A P5 would be unrealistic but amazing.


NCMA17

Ohio State and Clemson. Would love to watch a few more thrashings of smiling preacher boy Dabo.


Known_Chapter_2286

Notre Dame


BillfredL

USC versus Southern Cal. I said what I said.


Other_Bill9725

Play for the right to use “USC”.


D242686111

Michigan. Just Michigan.


capsrock02

Maryland-SC


cha-cha_dancer

LSU and FSU with those uniforms looked right together


MSXzigerzh0

Minnesota and Miami! Two M teams from different climates. .


Look_at_the_Kid

Wisconsin/LSU seems like a battle of who’s liver can outlast the other’s. I’d like to see Carolina play in a Penn State whiteout, and UT to play FSU


Existing_General_117

Us and Ole Miss. I’ve just always liked them🤷‍♂️


TheSeiko5

Georgia and Michigan rematch would feed millions


worldssmallestfan1

Miami, both. I don’t care how much more money the one in Florida spends


Pun_drunk

I would say Ohio vs. The World, but The World would probably balk and insist on some neutral site game. Come to Peden, cowards!


LuckyStax

NC State! We'll settle proper spelling of Wolf Pack once and for all!


loyalsons4evertrue

Iowa State and Auburn....we oddly have had a lot of coaching history together (Rhoads and Chizik not to mention Steven Leath)


Golden-Cheese

I’d love to play the Aggies again. It’s been too long :/


ctmccreery

I’ve always felt Tennessee and USC would be fun. Finals score would be in the 100s for both teams.


Thomallister1291

I still don't get why Oregon vs. Alabama has never been scheduled yet, not even as a neutral site game. Been begging Greg Byrne to schedule that game for over 2 years now, and nothing yet...


sweeph

Alaska Anchorage and Hawaii


According_Ad1930

For my first flair: Nebraska and Oklahoma State annually for historical reasons; I would love to see OU and Penn State have a home-and-home and I would love the Happy Valley game to be a white out game AT NIGHT; I would also love to play Oregon because Autuzen is an awesome stadium and Michigan because of the Big House For my second flair: BYU (closest thing to Navy’s Notre Dame rivalry and LES is gorgeous) and Colorado (they are close by, it’s a historic stadium, and the clash of uniform colors would be awesome)


MajorSpiritual1963

Bosie State vs Coastal Carolina. The Color Battle


IceyBoy

Its happening next year, Alabama at Doak with the renovations, that place is going to be absolutely lit and I for one can’t wait to go to both that one and the one in Tuscaloosa


MADBuc49

UCF. Self-explanatory.


genzgingee

I would like to see Oklahoma and Oklahoma State schedule a series.


ObjectiveReady862

Alabama/GT or Alabama/Tulane


bthombeast

USC & USC


Crunc_Mcfincle

Cincinnati. We could also perhaps bring in some bizarre, unconventional trophy that gets passed back and forth between the winners!


OneDishwasher

It would be great if Penn State played Nebraska occasionally. Only twice in the past decade!


Catchafire2000

Kentucky.


Sirtopofhat

Simple one of would USC vs SC But I want USC and Tennessee. Hard-core Trojan fan but I'd be screaming Rocky Top with that band in the Coli


Weekly-Ad-6887

Iowa and Kansas State Minnesota and Kansas State Wisconsin and Kansas State 


ThreeDogee

Oregon State and NC State No, I will not elaborate
