I don't think I've seen a thread like this yet, so here goes...

The idea is to fill in opponents that would be advantageous to the program, as well as being realistic. A program like Oregon would never do a home&home with us, but Oregon State might. Also, it's a good bet to do 1 paycheck game per year. With some of the big boys dishing out $1.5 mil to a MAC school for a game, it's definitely worth it.

We have to beat them the 1st game and maybe they'll buy us out or ask to cancel or whatever they need to do so they don't have to play us again.

Murray State's gonna pack 'em in.

There are many flights from Chicago to Boston and they are pretty cheap.

Hope 2019 is a good squad. Those are some key matchups for statement wins... all away though.

Here is what I would try for with our currently scheduled games and the assumption that we are staying in the MAC.
