hmmmm.......I thought slightly more teams. Aside from FBS and FCS thing, I'm curious what disbanded teams like Creighton, Pacific, etc. since WWI era.

I didn't know that, South Alabama, UTSA and Texas State moved up to FBS.

I knew about Texas State. Isn't Chicken Franchione coaching down there?

And considering how long Frank has been at Ohio, it's a sin that we haven't played them and given props to Frank during the game. :(

 
UTSA has only had a football program for a couple years i believe, and they started out as a fbs team right away. Coker started as their first coach but not sure if he still is.

 
I seem to remember Nebr playing Navy once in the early 80's or late 70's but I could be wrong. Maybe it was a freshman game. It would be a nice gesture if we could honor Frank S during a game. Not sure playing them would be a good idea anytime soon. Hopefully after Frank retires and before Tom O passes. Even if some didn't care for his coaching, he was before that a good player on the early Devaney teams.

This is an interesting thread. Lets schedule Louisville before Watson leaves?

 
Georgia State and Old Dominion will be FBS next season. This list will likely get much longer in the next few years.

 
Louisville

Kentucky

Vanderbilt

Ohio

Miami (OH)

Central Michigan

Eastern Michigan

Boise State

Ohio? Central Michigan? It's a bit surprising we haven't played some of these teams. We'd be playing Boise in the next year of so --- if they hadn't been such greedly little wooses when we were trying to work the deal, that is.
 
Hey, bring the Huskers here to Tulsa and play at TUs 30K seat stadium. Do it quick - next year is Cody Green's last season at TU.

I agree - I would like to see us play Louisville - besides my own town team Tulsa.

 
Well on the bright side Maryland will come off that list at some point over the next decade.

If the last go-around is any indication, we'll be in the same division as Maryland.

I dunno...I would think their opening up the debate on their website means they're open to ideas and that using something derived from the status quo won't suffice.

Granted, I won't be shocked to see both Maryland and Rutgers on our 2014 schedule as away games, but probably as crossovers. B1G wants to maximize their ROI, and no better way to do that than to put the second/third most popular football program in the conference on local TV sets.
