During the college football season there are only a handful of meaningful out of conference games. This needs to change. Watching your team squash div 1aa cupcakes (except Michigan [Appalachian St is Hot HOT HOT!]) is great, but who doesn’t like seeing their team square off against a powerhouse.
Virginia Tech v Tennessee - These two schools are only 242 miles apart and have tried to set up a one game series before. Apparently both teams cannot agree on where to play the game. Let’s get this thing done already. Either make a home and home series or play a game at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Boston College v Connecticut - When Uconn joined the Big East they thought there would be many bitter, intense and hard fought games against BC for years to come. The hate between the two schools intensified when BC bolted for the ACC. Now that Uconn is starting to recruit a home and home against BC would be a great series to watch.
Rutgers v Penn State - Rutgers is beginning to assimilate some of Penn State’s highly valued recruiting territory into the Rutgers Nation. What better way to show New Jersey recruits who reigns supreme then by battling it out on the field. Also, a respectable out of conference game will help to boost the national respect for Penn State (and the Big Ten) who has been playing Florida International, Buffalo, Akron, Youngstown State and Notre Dame out of conference over the last couple of years.
Texas v Arkansas - I realize the two are playing in 2008 and 2009, but this should be an annual series. The former SWC border rivals loath each other and it makes for a hard hitting great game whenever they play.
LSU v USC - Les Miles shots at USC last summer started an off the field rivalry that I’d love to see played out on the field. Because of Miles’ and Carroll’s decision making and play calling USC and LSU games are amazing to watch (except against VT). Now imagine them going at each other. I think this game would be nothing short of incredible and all college football fans want to see the SEC’s best versus the Pac 10’s best.
If you got any others leave them in the comments.

off the top of my head:
- VT vs WV”u”: duh, fuck mountainqueers
- Pitt vs Penn St.: another rivalry that shouldn’t have been discontinued
- “All Jesus Conference” matchups: Noter Lame vs BYU, BYU vs BC… maybe Baylor, maybe not. BYU usually puts a decent product on the field and can suprise from time to time.
