re: OOC team you would like to annually play

I always enjoyed it when we played Tech. But I would also like to see us play a PAC team outside of a bowl game. I know Oregon is coming up but that's five years away.

Nebraska was always a good game too.

Miami. Like it used to be 'long time ago.

I'd want to play a PAC or B1G team.

Oregon/USCw/UCLA/ASU or Michigan/Ohio State

You sure about that? A&M is a combined 3-11 against those teams all time. They've never player Arizona State or Oregon. They are 2-2 against UCLA so against USC, Michigan and Ohio State they are 1-9.

Personally I wouldn't want a perennial OOC opponent. I would prefer to increase the level of out of division (OOD) play. During the regular season I would prefer 9 conference games that way you would play all of the SEC teams at least twice every six years (right now it is twice every twelve). That would leave only three games for the OOC schedule and given the recruiting needs (need games in Texas and other power recruiting areas) a perennial just doesn't cut it. The aTm OOC schedule preference for me would be something along the lines of rotating through the teams in a three layer grouping such as:

1. H/A with a middle of the pack mid-major opponent (LaTech, SMU, Houston, SDS)
2. A/H with lower to middle of the pack power conference opponent (UCLA, Cal, GT, Duke, NC, NCS, TT, Baylor, OSU)
3. H/A with a middle to top of the pack power conference opponent (Ore, Stan, USCw, tOSU, MI,NU OU, Miami, FSU, Clem, VT)

And of course for the post season the preference would be to play any SEC team (in a non-conference game) in January. That would mean your team is in the NC semis or finals and at least two of the four teams in the playoff are from the SEC.

I'd love a home and home with UVA. Heard great things about C-Ville.

So pathetic. It's so rare that you can talk shite about an sec team that you have to come into a thread like this and show your obsession by looking all that shite up?

So sad.

It's just discussion. Lighten up Francis.

No Texas?

Discussion that isn't germane to the subject of the thread.

It's just sad. OSU is a college football super power, or at least it's perceived as one, but the sec is the one subject that you can't discuss without having an upper hand in. So you take the team that just entered that you have some room to smack talk about and then when one of them mentions your school in a list of teams they would like to play ooc, you go and track down those stats, which if it was just your school then I could see it coming off the top of your head, but since it as multiple schools, you had to have looked it up.

Is just hilariously sad really. But buy all means, carry on with your discussion.

11 game conference schedule.

I'd love a 9 game conference schedule but LSU fans are fricking pussies and they whine and cry about it. It's just too hard or something. Butch up IMO.
