Bama is playing SoCal (neutral), UGA is playing ND (home and home)... I'd like to see us get in on some of these high profile OOC games. Who would you like to play, and where?

For me, in order:

1) Miami, in JAX or Tampa
2) SoCal, for naming rights, home and home
3) FSU, home and home
4) Penn State, in Washington DC
5) Ga Tech, in ATL

#2 is purely for the reason I listed, but the others are a little more strategic (for recruiting purposes) in addition to being big draws.

1) SoCal - for the same reasons.
2) Texas - because history
3) Notre Dame - ditto
4) Ohio State - to continue the streak
5) Washington - would love a trip out west
6) UCLA - ditto
7) Oklahoma - another historical bedpost notch
8) VT/Miami/BC - tired of playing the same ACC teams (other than Clem5on, of course)
9) Penn State - always really liked the team, would be fun
10) Oregon State - for obvious reasons.

I'd want them all, or most, to be home-and-home series, though. I like the chance to visit other campuses and stadiums more than playing them in Atlanta or Dallas.

I think all of these are solid. We had a series with Ga Tech lined up, but cancelled it last year when we were waiting to see if the SEC was going to 9 conf games.

I would add a series with unc, ncstate, va tech or maryland. Should help some with regional recruiting.

We should play one of these teams every year until the SEC expands to a 9 game schedule.

In no particular order

GT home and home. Was on the schedule and then got pulled
Texas home and home
Virginia home and home
Virginia Tech home and home
Florida State home and home
Miami home and home
Notre Dame home and home
Southern Cal home and home
West Virginia home and home
Pitt home and home
Colorado home and home
Arizona State home and home

The one that really needs to happen is Oregon State home and home

I would pay ESPN if they let me be the color commentator for that game.

We've got ECU this year (will be glad to get them off schedule) and UNC (in CLT) and UCF (at home) next year. After that we're vacant. We need to add a high-profile match up.

Id rather do a home and home with anyone over a neutral site game.

In no particular order:

Virginia Tech--we had some history before joining the SEC and I have several friends from there
Oregon--although not at quite the same level, our programs are similar in a few ways (recent success, rabid fans)
Texas
Penn State

I like both, as long as the neutral site is someplace worth going to. Jacksonville is a shitty place for a neutral site game, it's just a big city, it's hot, and there are 3 other better destination in florida alone.

Neutral Sites I would like.
CLT (easy for me to get to.)
ATL (specifically the Chic-Fil-A kickoff)
Las Vegas (it's f**king Vegas)
D.C. (would help us with the recruiting in mid-atlantic.)
Dallas (Jerrydome, and TX recruiting)
Houston (same as above, but add big screen)
New Orleans (Recruiting and New Orleans is a lot of fun.)
Tampa Bay
Miami (scheduling that would be tough w/ 2 teams playing in that stadium.)
NYC (For NJ recruiting)

Those would probably be my Top 10.

Maybe a three game series with Southern Cal. Home and Home and then the deciding game (assuming we split of course) would be in St. Louis for all the marbles.

This will definitely be the last year we will play ECU. With that being said it is hard to schedule a neutral or away game the year we play that team from the upstate so that vacancy will be harder to fill. I would like to see a home and home with NC State starting with playing them at home in 2016 and at their place in 2017.

We actually have 1 more coming up in '16 with them and I believe another is contracted but the year is TBD.

We're supposed to go to their stadium at some point. Maybe thats 2016.

We were also supposed to play them in Charlotte next year, but they got bumped in favor of UNC. That might be the TBD game
