5 BCS schools you'd love to have $$$ game with.

[catamount man]

1) West Virginia (we were supposed to go there last season, but they opted out a few years back for the Miss.State series, so we got Florida)

2) North Carolina(our AD was a Tarheel football player)
3) Hawaii (NUFF SAID)

4) Ole Miss (tailgating at the Grove)
5) Washington State (a week up in the lovely Palouse)

GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

OVER-RATED!!! CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP

[TexasTerror]

SHSU has done Texas and A&M in the past...

So...

1) Rice. Haven't done them since 1993. Would love to have it again. I'm a Rice fan, second only to SHSU..

2/3) Navy or Army. How could you disagree? Two tradition rich schools.

4) LSU. Not too far a drive from NOLA. Kats could use to recruit in Louisiana some more.

5) USC. Talk about exposure in a major market!

[Mountaineer#96]

ASU's top 5 we have already played or will:
1) LSU
2) Michigan
3) Hawaii
4) Auburn
5) Wake Forest (b/c we won the last meeting)

[ngineer]

Just dreamin' here, since it seems nigh impossible for us to get a BCS game anymore. Been trying for years with Army and Navy.

1. Penn State--Haven't played since 1942, a 6-19 loss, but we'd give them a chance to redeem their record loss to us in 1889, 106-0.:D

2. Rutgers--This was a great rivalry up until 1977 when the Scarlet Knights dropped us from future schedules when they went 'big time'. Of course, it's taken them 30 years to get there. Only an hour away.

3. Navy--Best 'road' trip possible. Last time in 1984, a 24-9 win, Alumni Assoc. sponsored a 'sail' from Baltimore to Annapolis for the game and then sailed back with dinner and dancing on the boat. Great time.

4. Army--Similar type of great trip. Love to hear the Army fight song at Michie Stadium as well as a nice sail up the Hudson. Plus, we'd win this one.

5. Duke--I insert the Blue Devils because maybe this is possible. Duke's AD is former Lehigh QB Joe Alleva. Very similar schools, even in architecture.

[Marcus Garvey]

I'm going to be a smart-a$$ here and point out the the title of the thread is about BCS schools.

Army, Navy, Rice and Hawaii are NOT BCS. :D

Man, I went to Wazzu and didn't think the Palouse was that great
(except for the ever-flowing kegs ;) and cheap Idaho beer)

[Husky Alum]

Northeastern:

1. Boston College - we play them in 2009

2. UConn - local rivalry

3. Army - We've played Navy (ok, they're not BCS, but...)

4. Rutgers - All of our Jersey Alumni seem to be Rutgers fans these days

5. Syracuse

My list for Delaware, for purely selfish reasons...


I'll follow the same philosophy -- closer is better:

In other words, schools in UD's recruiting region.

[rufus]

1. Virginia - They've refused to schedule JMU since we beat them in 1982 and kept it within a touchdown in 1983.
2. Penn State - Huge stadium, atmosphere, overall experience.
3. Michigan - See Penn State.
4. Tennessee - See Penn State.
5. Miami - Preferably in November. I always enjoy a trip to Miami to escape the cold.

[CCU97]

Clemson- Death Valley is a great gamebay experience...middle of nowhere and full of people

Univ. of SC- because they are still mad we left the system

Penn St- gotta love Joe Pa

UGA- would be an easy road trip for me

GA Tech - in my back yard

[AZGrizFan]

For the Griz, my top 5 would be:

1) Boise State --- Would make a GREAT regional rivalry
2) UW ---- I HATE the Huskies. Period.
3) Oregon State ---- I HATE the Beavers. Period.
4) Arizona State ---- I could actually go to a Griz game NOT in Flagstaff!!!
5) USC ---- Just to be able to say they did it.

[Go...gate]

1) Notre Dame

2) Syracuse

4) Wyoming
5) Kansas State

3. Michigan - See Penn State.
4. Tennessee - See Penn State.
5. Miami - Preferably in November. I always enjoy a trip to Miami to escape the cold.


Very similar here. Only change, I'd put Notre Dame in at #3, then bump Miami to honorable mention with USC, all for the same reasons you listed above. :thumbsup:

Having said that, I can't wait to visit Chapel Hill and Durham, NC the next year! :hurray:

[foghorn]

2. Minnesota. Quick 300k and a win. :thumbsup:
3. Michigan. Cheer my team on in the big house!
4. THEE Ohio State. To just see them dot the I with my OWN eyes would just be worth the trip. Atmosphere and everything.
5. Florida. I wanna (if i could travel that far) feel the intensity of seeing 90,000 people doing the CHOMP.

[Tribe4SF]

For the Tribe it would be the ACC schools in our region, all within 4 hours. Maryland, UVA, Va Tech, UNC, NC State.

Oh, that's right, we've already got them all scheduled!:hurray:

No Duke. No money in it.

[YoUDeeMan]

1) Penn State - nice stadium, great tradition, and a close drive
2) Maryland - '08 - another close drive
3) Pittsburgh - wish we could play them this year with Flacco
4) Boston College - I'd stay the weekend; love Boston
5) Michigan - great stadium and the helmet issue would be fun

[KJ Eagle]

Would love to see:

Navy ('09)
Ga Tech (supposed to be in '10)
Bama
Clemson
Tennessee

Also wouldn't mind another one at UF. I made it to the game in the '80's but missed it in '96.

[saluki_in_ohio]

1. Ohio State

The Bucks pay major bucks for a home game!

2. University of Illinois "Whining Illini"

They are so pathetic, it would a nice tuneup for the Gateway season and a good win against a BCS school.

3. Northern Illinois

This has a good potential as a rival game. North vs. South, you know.

4. Missouri

I hate Mizzou. It would be fun beating them.

5. Kentucky.

You can spell f*c*ed without UK....

[McNeeserocket]

I would like to see McNeese play:
LSU - Seems like a logical game for both since LSU plays FCS schools
Texas Tech
Ole Miss
Arkansas
Notre Dame - I could die a happy woman right then and there if we won

McNeese already played:
Miami (Hurricanes)
Texas A&M - loved the tradition
Nebraska - would love to play them again as they are nicest fans ever!
Kansas State

[biobengal]

1. Michigan (Duh)
2. Notre Dame (Idaho State on NBC!!!!)


After that, in no particular order: BYU (non-BCS, easy trip), Air Force (non-BCS), Washington, Stanford (Aggies softened em' up), and the rest of the Pacific-10 (outside of those tightwads in Corvallis ISU will be playing this year).

FBS teams I have little interest in seeing: Idaho, Boise State, Utah State, Utah, SEC (although we've been competitive with MSU and UK), Big 12 (except for ISU, we've got a score to settle).

[CopperCat]

1. Michigan (Duh)
2. Notre Dame (Idaho State on NBC!!!!)
.

When is that game? That will be great for the BSC if they keep it close for awhile. Good for ISU! That's good to see.

[griz&beer]

UW, UNLV just becuse it would be one hell of a road trip. Boise State Washington State, Wyoming, say hi to cowboy Joe

[letsgopards04]

1. Penn St
2. Rutgers
3. Pitt
4. Syracuse
5. Notre Dame

[T-Dog]

Games that ARE NOT schedule that I want App to play

1. Notre Dame - See reasons above
2. East Carolina - So we can beat another purple team and my mom went there.
3. UNC - We would beat them.
4. South Carolina - See reasons above
5. Clemson - See reasons above

I still can't believe were going to Ann Arbor this year and I'm going........and then I'm going to Baton Rouge next year.........I missed the first Baton Rouge game and I regret it.

[Bearkatpresident]

1. Texas A&M - We're only 45 mins away from College Station and we draw alot of students from that area. If we were able to actaully pull off an upset, it would be extermemly healthy for the school though.

[th0m]

For the Tribe it would be the ACC schools in our region, all within 4 hours. Maryland, UVA, Va Tech, UNC, NC State.

Oh, that's right, we've already got them all scheduled!:hurray:

[Mr. C]

At this stage of my career, I would like to fill in some gaps by covering games in college football meccas that I haven't been to for games

1. Tennessee (been to Neyland Stadium, but not on a football Saturday).
2. Ohio State (with Michigan down in September, why not the Buckeyes next).
3. Notre Dame (to see how Touchdown Jesus compares to Touchdown Yosef).
4. Alabama (in particular, a game at Legion Field).
5. Penn State (another great college venue)
6. Texas (I would love to see a matchup with Mack Brown and his first school, Appalachian State)
7. North Carolina (about time the Tar Heals quit ducking the Mountaineers).
8. Oklahoma (most of my family is from Oklahoma and we've always rooted for the Sooners. Would be great to see a game in Norman).
9. Nebraska (always heard what a great atmosphere it is).
10. Fresno State (would love to see a game between my alma mater and the team I've covered for the past 15 seasons).

Some FCS places I haven't made it to yet, but need to hit are Delaware, Youngstown State, Northern Iowa, Southern and North Dakota State.

I'll get games at James Madison, Georgia, Florida and Virginia Tech in the near future.

[jessesd]

1. ASU (Arizona State for all you other people. ;)) They have one of the most beautiful campuses in the country and Sun Devil Stadium is a beautiful sight inside and out.
2. Minnesota. Quick 300k and a win. :thumbsup:

5. Florida. I wanna (if i could travel that far) feel the intensity of seeing 90,000 people doing the CHOMP.


For the Florida trip, try to buy a student tix for about $25 since you need an student ID, then pay the additional $25 differential to convert to general audience as long as you are there early, (not many know this), or buy the student id, since it gets crazy at the gate they don't pay too much attention to the photos as long as you have an id with you (the biggest crowds at the student gate section are 30 min before the game starts). I had a male friend use my wife's id once and you get to seat (actually you'll never seat) with "the Swamp Things" in the student section and then do the "CHOMP" and as long as you are wearing Florida colors, with your new 90,000 gator best friends.

Be aware that in my second year there I sold my wifes and my Tennessee's tix for $185 plus our student id's for aditional $50 each (i paid $80 for the season pass and $10 for the ID replacement), then i traded my Georgia rights (we had to pay $50 for it) for another pair of the Tennesee tix, so I saw the game and made a handsome profit to pay for my college expenses!!! xbeerchugx .
I heard people selling their FSU and Tennesse game tix as high as $250 each, so be ready to shell the big bucks if you are comming to G-town depending on who is playing, but is all worth it.

[igo4uni]

I would like to See UNI play:

1.) Nebraska

1. Wake Forest - Historical ties.
2. Baylor - fellow baptist college
3. Duke - seems winnable
4. Air Force - Gameday traditions at military schools rock. Plus its in Colorodo
5. Wyoming- Location

I think this is a great list and aside from Penn St. they would all be great games. The most interesting, in the sense that it is one that never gets mentioned, is the Duke game. With a Lehigh guy in the AD spot, it would seem a great way to do both hoops and football. I seem to recall that Lehigh played Duke a few years ago in bball, but a game in Durham would be good and I think a decent shot at a win.

[bostonspider]

For UR, we actually have the games scheduled that in general I would want except for a few:

1) UVA ('08, '10) (Almost beat them a few years ago, losing 17-16 in 2001)
2) WFU (This is one we really should be playing. Have an annual bball game already)
3) Vandy ('07 '12) (Similar schools and we have been competitive with them sometimes)
4) Duke ('09, '11) (Similar schools, and we just beat them in '06)
5) VaTech (Have not played them since the 80's, when we had an annual tussle, and even beat them a few times)

My top 5 for Portland State...

1. U of Washington...The only FBS school in the northwest that not only won't play us, but will not play any FCS team. What are they scared of?

2. Stanford...Just sounds like fun.

3. Brigham Young...Historical.

4. UNLV...Any excuse to go to Vegas is a good one for me.

5. Penn State...Battle for the exclusive use of the PSU moniker.

Actually pretty difficult to think of, as we have taken $$$ from quite a few FBS teams...

Pac-10...Oregon, Oregon State, Cal
Mtn West...New Mexico, San Diego State
WAC...Hawaii, Fresno, Boise, San Jose State

UVa will schedule W&M and Richmond, but never JMU.

Do you think in their little minds it is an academic thing or a historical thing or what??? I mean UR came as close as possible to beating them in 2001 and they are still scheduling the Spiders, so it can't be just a performance thing.
