2018 and 2019 non-con schedule leave MUCH to be desired.

Depends what the Buffs do. They've been slowly trending up, so who knows by then. Northern Illinois has also been pretty decent for awhile too.

Absolutely. At least 2018 has Colorado at home. 2019 is ugly.

2018 and 2019 are a joke, because Colorado sucks and will still suck in 4-5 years. Need to drop either Akron or Troy in 2018 and South Alabama in 2019 for another Power 5 team(s). It won't happen, but it should.

Why? We're already playing 9 conference games. There's absolutely no benefit to it when the SEC and ACC are playing 8 conference games and November cupcakes. That's 1 more P5 than those 2 leagues, no reason to do 2.

Agree 100%. I love it when people complain about the scheduling. NU is playing a home and home against an old conference rival, with numerous fans in the area, and the Big 10 is moving to a 9 game conference schedule.

Is 2018 the year we start with 9 conference games, and that's the reason there are only 3 nonconference instead of 4?

 

If so, that might be the new normal.

 

It is disappointing, to be sure. However, it's also probably an inevitable result of the conference expansion. I am going to miss the days of regularly having marquee OOC opponents and two quality OOC games.

Actually starts in 2016.

 

The schedule will (hopefully) continue to be overall better after that. Nine conference games plus one Power 5 OOC game is better than we've usually had the last several years. Just doesn't feel like it those two years with Colorado being so bad.

 

But it should be fun to kick their @$$.

Quit talking like Granny Snyder.

 

Ask 11-1 TCU how not playing a P5 school worked for them in the playoffs last year

 

Oh, wait Colorado IS considered a P5 school?

 

Never mind

[Redux]

Hard to say what the 18-19 schedules hold in store for us. Colorado could be a contender yet our conference slate could be a cakewalk. Too soon to assume anything.

 

I will miss the 4 non con games but really we aren't missing out on much more than smacking around an extra Sun Belt team.

[teachercd]

I will be going to the Oregon game in Eugene!

[zeWilbur]

I recall that the B1G will also be scheduling games with better teams playing each other more often instead of a rotating schedule so the in conference games should be more appealing/difficult as well. I think this starts in 2017.
