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.

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.

Based on the list of teams that haven't been matched up they can't match up every Big Ten school with every non Big Ten school without some schools being forced to play six road games next year. Now does that mean Indiana has to? No. But someone will (or they just have to sit out the Playoffs). Or maybe two Big Ten teams just agree to play each other as a tenth game.

They may gasp have to suck it up for a year. Or don't cry when the selection committee dings them for not playing 10 P4 teams. He's absolutely flaunted his cupcake scheduling. Absolutely deserves to get what he would get. Now hopefully the selection committtee actually does do the dinging.

What’s with all the anger and name-calling towards one of the greatest college football coaches of all-time?

Is Curt Cignetti your new Warde Manuel?

RE: Teams that don’t have a tenth P4 opponent in 2027
With all this rule-making about x number of P4 matchups, why are they not telling them they cannot play FCS schools anymore?

Since the G6 is so far beneath them, why is an FCS matchup not considered equal to a G6 scheduling a Div 2 school? 07-coffee3

Probably 2031. However, they will leave the option for that last game to be either FCS or G6, team choice. We all know how that will go

Lies

Nebraska backs out of Tennessee football series in 2026-27, putting Vols in a bind

Quote:"I think it's kind of unprecedented to pull out of home-and-home (series) this late with this little notice, so I'm annoyed by it," UT athletics director Danny White told Knox News. "Home-and-home (series) against power conference opponents are scheduled out a decade in advance, and this one has been on the docket for like 20 years."

Missouri has to be added since Illinois dropped them for Notre Dame.

Wash-Wash St
Ore-Ore St
USF-UCF

But not for anybody who plays Wash St, Ore St, USF and UConn (former BCS/P5 schools)

Rice and Tulane as well. They mentioned for the Big 10 that the Service Academies in the past as unofficial as well. With the lack of P4 schools out west for saving money issues? Schools like Boise State could be an exception as well.
