Alabama- @Hawaii 2003 L 29-37
Arkansas- 1999 @ SMU, W 26-0, not counting SMU then 1989 @ Rice W 38-17
Auburn- Auburn has never played at a school that is not now in a BCS conference but has played at two schools that were either in a soon to be non-BCS conference at the time (1976 Arizona in the WAC L 19-31) or have recently been in a non-BCS conference (1980 TCU [was SWC at time] W 10-7
Florida- Similar case as Auburn. Has never played away at a non-BCS school though they did play at Houston (SWC at the time) in 1979 and lost 10-14
Georgia-1952 @ Pennsylvania W 34-27
Kentucky- Last played Louisville (C-USA at the time) in 2004 L 0-28. Not counting them 1953 @ Rice W 19-13 though Rice was SWC at time.
LSU- 2007 @ Tulane W, 34-9
Mississippi- 2011 @ Fresno State W 38-28
Mississippi State- 2009 @ Mid Tennessee State W 27-6
South Carolina- 2010 @ Clemson, W 29-7
Tennessee- 2010 @ Memphis, W 50-14
Vanderbilt- 2009 @ Army, L 13-16

Mizzou and A&M are excluded because I hate them.

EDIT - Somehow I missed UGA @ Tulane. Probably because they were independent at the time and I used this site to figure it out... LINK

Our fan base specifically requests to play at Tulane though so we get to go to New Orleans.

Figures, Ole Miss fans don't give a shite about football, they just wanna tailgate. I'm surprised y'all don't play at Death Valley every year

We will be playing in Shreveport against La Tech. Basically a home game for us. We also play SMU in Dallas. I'm not even sure if its in their 45k stadium. That would be pathetic.


Doesn't A&M have a road game next year @ Florida International? (Not complaining since that's a road trip to South Beach--if A&M ever got anything close to a marketing department they could make it a fun road trip for Aggie fans)

Hogs played at Memphis State in the 90s including 98, Nutt's first year. And played at SMU in 95. Won the west that year but lost at SMU.

Rice was a conference game in 89

2009: @MTSU
2008: @LATech
2007: @Tulane
2006: @UAB
2005: @Tulane
2004: None, also last time we had 8 home games
2003: @Tulane, @Houston

I realize Rice was a SWC member at the time but they are not now a BCS school and considering the BCS wasn't around in 89 by definition they were a non BCS school

Bama was on probation and couldn't go to a bowl. So they use loophole in NCAA rules saying you could schedule an extra game if played at Hawaii. Bama scheluded to play them in December and treated it like a bowl game and there was nothing the NCAA could do. Hawaii was lot better destination for the fans that could go than a lot of the bowl destinations.

I think the NCAA may have changed that rule after that episode saying teams on probation couldn't do that.

Alabama was placed on probation and couldn't attend a bowl. So, Coach Fran scheduled a game at Hawaii. Probably the only good thing that Bama fans can say about him.

Well we play at Memphis every 5 years or so but I dont really count that considering the recruiting reasons for doing so . Plus they are moving to the Big East so for however much longer it is they will be a BCS school

Dennis Franchione shat all over our program. The guy recruited like 3 offensive linemen in a span of 3 years. Unreal. He was a cancer.
