2014 Marquee OOC games

[7Samurai13]

I think we play UCF so hopefully you won't have to see them in the BCS next year.

Well thankfully there will be no BCS next year and even if there was, AAC lost their auto-bid.

Bama/WVU in ATL.

Meh.

Nice to see bama continuing their trend of scheduling tough out of conference games.

 

[LawDawg]

UGa v. Clemson to start the year. This time in Athens.

Why not just do a Home-Home

Because telling recruits you have a game at Lambeau Field is a lot more impressive than telling them you have a game at LSU or Wisconsin. And playing at the Houston Texans' NFL stadium in Houston is great way for both programs to strengthen their brand awareness in Texas, specifically in Houston, the 5th-largest metro area in the country

It's not next year but Texas A&M vs ASU in 2015 is intriguing. Even if the "neutral site" is in the state of Texas.

 

[ellupo]

That would be too smart. We have to go about this as stupid as possible. LSU's renovations will be done next year so instead of opening it with a great game vs Wisky in front of 100K we will play some Sun Belt game that no one wants to go to.

It would have been great to have Wisky at the LSU stadium. Its too bad they do not think of the students when they make these "neutral" games.

Nebraska vs Miami Fl
Michigan vs Notre Dame (last one for a long while)
Mich St vs Notre Dame

The thread was "marquee" and when you threw ND in there I could not help myself.

What do you want? I'm old and I did think about skipping them. But some put down West Virginia as a marquee game so it should count.

I am a student and I say screw the students and the bandwagon fan base for that matter. Way too many empty seats this year. LSU fans have become an embarrassment.

Meh.

You miss out on the LSU atmosphere by going to shitty Houston and you completely miss out on the Camp Randall experience by going to Lambeau...though at least that stadium is historically significant.

Awareness will be raised in TX and everywhere else through the magic of national television, which this game is sure to be broadcast on.

Neutral site games are great to an extent, but we seriously lose way too many great home/home series now do to these. I am sick of it.

Ohio State begins their new OOC schedule with the home side of a Home-home with VT next year.

Future OOC's for the Buckeyes include Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, & TCU. Looking forward to it.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Texas/UCLA @ Jerry World

NICE

 

[SFNL]

Penn State vs UCF in Ireland 1st week of the season.

I know LSU has a home/home with OU in like 5 years. Hopefully neither team pulls out of that match-up.

 

[KnightAndDay]

In no particular order

Penn State @ UCF *-Dublin, Ireland
UCF @ Missouri
BYU @ UCF
Oklahoma State @ FSU *-Arlington, Texas
Virginia Tech @ Ohio State

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Texas keeps playing UCLA.


I am not sure why that is....but this will be the 5th and 6th time in the Mack Brown era.


I am not sure if Mack makes it all the way, but he loves to schedule the Bruins OOC.


In fact, Texas might as well be an honorary member of the PAC-12.
The Horns play them in every bowl game it seems including the NCG in 2005.

[bocomo007]

Be glad they are willing to go to lambeau
