Funny, but I agree.

Marshall

'Cuse, but they'd never play at Alumni Arena. Screw them.

LSU at LSU.

BCS schools in/near the MAC footprint.

Michigan State, Indiana/Purdue, Louisville/Kentucky on a rotating basis.

Duke

...Illinois

I'd say Northwestern but i'm not sure their few fans would even care or it would register in the state of Illinois that we beat them.

Indiana State.

So do I.

Creighton.

Grand Valley State. (So we can feel what it's like to be the marginal favorite)

PSU/Pitt/Rutgers

Football: Pitt.

Basketball: OSU.

Fortunately, we (Miami) already had some great OOC games in football and b-ball due to long tradition. These include the annual UC football game, and the annual Xavier and Dayton B-ball games. We have not been very competitive vs UC in football since they moved up to a BCS conference, and there is concern if we don't start improving that series could be in jeopardy (MU still leads the all time series and we were competitive in every decade until 2005-2011..not that it matters, but we beat 'em all 4 yrs back in the "stone age" when I was in school). There are some similar concerns regarding XU in hoops, although we did beat them last year and lost by only 6 points to their ranked team this year. (and we beat Dayton this year). Our normal MO is to schedule one big BCS opponent (Missou, OSU, etc.), UC, and then get some 1 fer 1's with schools like Army. I like this type of scheduling although we get "over-scheduled" from time to time.

Good point, if Toledo and BG play OOC every year that means BG didn't end up in FCS.

UC will fall with the Big East
