A future high profile H/H series.

We have four OOC games to schedule:

1) One game with an old Big East foe (Syracuse, BC, Pitt, WVU, Rutgers).
2) One game with another FBS conference team (Illinois, Tennessee, Duke, etc).
3) One game with a team out of our geographic comfort zone, to expand our national presence (BYU, Boise, SDSU, Oregon State, etc).
4) One FCS team, a warm up game and a win.

WVU is a bit tricky as they're trying to lock up Pitt on a regular basis. Plus, they'd like that to be a bus trip (e.g. Pitt, UVA, VaTech). Likewise, Pitt is trying to lock up H/Hs with both WVU and PSU as often as possible, leaving them only 2 games (one if ACC goes to nine conference games). Can't see why BC/Cuse/Rutty wouldn't be open to it though.

The 4 OCC games should be: 2 easy wins (presumably), one lower tier P5, and one mid/upper P5.

Ideally 3 home games, 2 at minimum.

One of the winnable can be a lower tier P5. This year we have HC, BC (the winnable), Virginia (low tier), and Mizzou (mid tier). 3 home games.

You may want different names, but strength varies enough that far out that you can only go on reputation.

ND and Michigan were supposed to be top tier games and their coaches got fired.

The schedule is fine for now. Once wwe start rolling the AAC regularly, you can drop the lower tier games.
