re: Vols play toughest OOC schedule year-in and year-out

It the last 14 years, we have had home-and-home series against Notre Dame, Miami, Notre Dame again, Cal, UCLA and Oregon

---

So, 12 games then? Six home-and-home series = 6 x 2 = 12, right?

In the last 12 years (2002 through 2013), LSU (* denotes ranked opponent)...

2002: @ Va. Tech*
2003: @ Arizona
2004: Oregon State
2005: @ Arizona State*
2006: Arizona
2007: Va. Tech*
2009: @ Washington
2010: North Carolina* (neutral site), West Virginia*
2011: Oregon* (neutral site), @ West Virginia*
2012: Washington
2013: TCU* (neutral site)

That's 13 games in 12 years against BCS league opponents, with 8 of those ranked, and 6 of those 8 away from home.

In the next few years, we have home-and-homes scheduled with Oklahoma and Nebraska.

As does LSU with Wisconsin (neutral-neutral technically but really home-home), Oklahoma and Arizona State.
