With our 2024 non-conference games against BYU(9/7) & Baylor(9/14) becoming conference games, leaving us with SUU(8/31) as our only scheduled non-conference game, here is a look at FBS teams with 2024 openings that match our new openings. I’m assuming BYU will be moved to November and Baylor will be pushed back anywhere from 1 to 10 weeks.
These teams could take advantage of the Hawaii exception and play an additional game during Week Zero.
8/24
Boise State
Nevada
UNLV
UCLA
9/7
San Jose State
Hawaii
New Mexico
Jacksonville State
Florida Atlantic
Rice
SMU
Boston College
Oklahoma
9/14
Army
Utah State
Air Force
Rice
NC State
NorthWestern
Rutgers
Washington
Mississippi State
Teams with openings that don’t match ours but still needing a non-conference game.
TBD
UConn
FIU
UTSA
Duke
Auburn
I hope that we pick up a non-con with UCLA and/or San Diego State if possible. Keep that so-cal presence going. I really like the idea of picking up another non-con in Florida over time as well. We’ll have plenty of conference games in Texas. Just think we need to keep physical presence in CA, TX, FL for recruiting.
I would prefer SDSU. UCLA and USC are two teams I hope we don’t schedule ever again.
Yeah, don’t do em any favors.
I should add, depending on what happens with Oregon State, Washington State, Stanford, and Cal, there could be potential for non-conference games in 2024 with one or two of those schools.
Cal plays SDSU, Oregon State plays Boise State, and Washington State plays San Jose state. If those schools move the MWC, and/or Stanford goes independent, they would all need to find at least one non-conference game for 2024.
No B1G teams. Does the Utes no good.
UNM. Battle for the 4 corners. Haha. More because they suck. Easy win. And I grew up in ABQ
