I'm much too lazy to research this, but is it possible this in part the result of A&M going to the SEC? If they were scheduled to continue playing arkansas OOC as the marquee before conference games, the move would have ruined that.
I think conferences need to step in and start packaging inter conference pairings the way they do with basketball.
I was unsurprised to find Baylor an even worse offender on this list, but it's my understanding from reading previous articles that Baylor can't get anyone to agree to home and home deals. also TCU, our most legit non conference, became a conference game.
eventually the bad blood and "we'll never play you again" crap will go away between A&M, Mizzou and the B12, but in the meantime, there aren't geographically sensible power conference opponents for A&M to connect with.
As for this thread as a whole... Can any power conference fan look at their teams schedule and say "no cupcakes here, we're lean and mean." ?

I can see a year or maybe two, but this will be the third year in a row with no big teams OOC. That is on purpose.

TCU during the Andy Dalton days were pretty dominate.
I would like to see A&M/Texas and Mizzou/Nebraska playing again.
A lot of Big 12 teams are listed. Do you think that had to do with the possibility of the conference completely splitting? Teams trying to make themselves look better in case they needed to find a new conference.

I'm really not trying to be offensive here, but I get this. Baylor didn't fill up the stadium during RG3's Heisman year, right?

On this one we have something in common. It seems like less of a big deal now because Arkansas and TCU were both better than respectable before 2012. Now... not so much.

Just a matter of time. Basketball is already on the schedule. And you can use Baylor scheduling A&M before Texas would as a bragging point, as in "t.u. are chickens".
