Power 5 Opponents

IIRC we have Clemson scheduled as well.

My bad... Ga Tech is not scheduled for 2016, they are scheduled for 2017 and 2018. We have to fill the 2016 slot. I don't see Clemson mentioned at all.

Here is a good article on the subject. not many choices

This is a frustrating topic to talk about because people will inevitably just start naming ideal teams. Its more complicated than that.

Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State and Missouri are also all looking for games, and there's not very many options on the table. Here's who is available, according to FBSchedules.com, with a couple of filters put in place:

Teams are unlikely to play more than one game against a major conference opponent.
The Big 12, Big Ten and Pac-12 all play or will play nine conference games in 2016, so they each have only three dates available.
Notre Dame will play five ACC teams in 2016, and it's unclear how those schools will approach the rest of their schedules. That's why Clemson chose to get out of the Ole Miss series.
Ole Miss has announced games against Memphis (Sept. 10) and Wofford (Sept. 17), and Georgia Southern's athletics director told a local TV station Friday that the school (now in the Sun Belt) will play Ole Miss in 2016 (without giving a date). These dates (especially Wofford) could move, but the easiest solution is to play the fourth non-conference game on either Sept. 3 or 24.

So, with all of that in mind, here is who Ole Miss may be looking at:

Boston College -- Open on Sept. 3, 24

Miami -- Open on Sept. 3, 24 (but already at Notre Dame)

N.C. State -- Open on Sept. 3, 24 (but already have home date against Notre Dame)

Syracuse -- Open on Sept. 3, 24 (but already neutral date against Notre Dame)

Kansas State -- Open on Sept. 3, 24

TCU -- Have opening, but not on Sept. 3, 24

West Virginia -- Open on Sept. 3 (but already neutral against BYU)

Michigan State -- Open on Sept. 3, 24 (but already at Notre Dame)

Rutgers -- Open on Sept. 24 (but already at Washington on Sept. 3)

Arizona -- Open on Sept. 24 (but against BYU on Sept. 3)

USC -- Open on Sept. 24 (but already have home date against Notre Dame)

Washington State -- Open on Sept. 24 (but already have home date against Boise State)

With three home games on the books. Ole Miss could go on the road. That would help in negotiations.

The other option would be to play in a kickoff classic-style game that is set up by a neutral site organizer. Ole Miss is playing in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic weekend this season against Boise State. A similar event is in Houston, and Nashville is also looking at creating a game. That could open up the date to someone not on the above list, who would maneuver their schedule to get into the event.

I'm not exactly excited to pay $70 per ticket to see us take on Presbyterian.
