Oregon State travels to BYU and Ole Miss
Wazoo is at Washington and hosts Arizona and Kansas

Ole Miss OOC in 2027:
EIU (FCS)
Charlotte
Oregon State

Very weak OOC

BYU OOC in 2027:
Oregon State
Weber State
@Notre Dame

So playing 10 P4 + Oregon State

Washington 2027 OOC
Fresno State
Portland State
@ Wazzoo

Given the Apple Cup (which isn't scheduled yet beyond 2028) - Wazzoo should always count as a P4 for Washington

Kansas 2027 OOC Schedule:
Louisiana Tech
SE Missouri
at Wazzoo


Arizona 2027 OOC Schedule:
at Colorado State
Northern Arizona
Washington State

Major G6 rival should always count towards total.

Exactly why I dont get why people ask for these random OOC matchups. Just increase the conference games and keep historical OOC rivals.

West Virginia is off the list, they just announced a game with Purdue for 2027.

Purdue has dropped its annual games versus ND, starting in 2027.

Barry Odom had mentioned this previously. Purdue was getting tired of being hammered in those games.

For context, here are the scores for the last three years:

2024 Notre Dame 66 @ Purdue 7
2025 Purdue 30 @ Notre Dame 56
2026 Notre Dame 49 @ Purdue 10


That is the slot that Purdue filled with WVU next year.

Notre Dame will host Illinois in 2027 and travel to Champaign in 2028.

The Illini replace the Boilermakers on the Irish’s schedule.

See you in South Bend next year, TerryD.

Next year will mark the first time that ND and Illinois will play each other since 1968.

Hey maybe I can make it to Champaign in 2028... My cousin's daughter will still be there.

One issue for at least Indiana is they only play four home Big 10 games and will play five Big 10 road games in odd numbered years so they wouldn't want to play a road non conference game in 2027. Looking at the non Big 10 teams on the list... Mississippi, BYU, Texas Tech, TCU, and Arizona all play five conference games this year so I assume they'll also play only four home conference games and will play five road conference games in 2027 as well. The only non Big Ten team that played five conference road games was Kansas.

Nebraska, USC, and Washington play five conference home games in 2027 so they can take a non conference road game. We can pair three of these with three of Ole Miss, BYU, Texas Tech, TCU, and Arizona. Oregon also plays just four home games.

If you only have four conference home games just find a dance partner in another P4 that has five and set up a home/home with them.

I wouldn't predict anything about who will play who. But you will see a lot of activity and announcements of schedule changes this month, as everyone tries to set their home schedule dates and opponents for early ticket sales. You might even get an in-conference OOC game (e.g., maybe Indiana vs Nebraska as a possibility). Whatever happens, I very much doubt schools were caught unaware, several likely already have schedule changes all but worked out, just haven't said anything.

Indiana scheduled Jax State for 2027 just last month. So if they were aware, it hasn’t been for long.

Suspended disbelief, like when we watch a movie. If so, Indiana have been living in a cave ignoring what even the majority of B1G schools have been lobbying for. That would fall more under the category of self-delusion.

It could also be that Jax State is part of a shuffling that will oust one of the other prior announced games for a power school.

How are we going to define “major” as an exception in this scenario?

I’m all for tradition but you shouldn’t get to count G6 as a P4 game just because it’s old home week when you play.

Oregon St. and Washington St. are actually officially counted as P4 as far as distributions this year. They have their designated share of the pot. I think that continues until the new contract in 2032. They get a share of $3.6 million at least through 2028.

Yeah sorry but that logic doesn't fly when that wuss has exactly 0 p4 games in the next 4 years.

You have a home and home series with the home game in the year you have 4 home games in conference play. It's easy.

Works for Indiana. Convince someone else to play 6 road games.

play a team with 5 home conference games. My gosh it ain't rocket science.

Hey let him play only 9 p4 games. But absolutely ding their ass for it to where they don't want to do it again. Make an example out of him who has absolutely flaunted that trash.

it begins. How long before they make it 12 games?
