1. Miami - the state of FL should have a true state champ
2. Texas - another big recruiting state
3. USC - another big recruiting state
4. ND - payback for 1991
5. Clemson

Top 5, I'd say.

1) Miami Hurricanes
2) USC Trojans
3) Texas Longhorns
Who'd a thought even 10yrs back all 3 would be struggling as long as they have

Any of the Blue Bloods obviously.  UGA has only played OU once.  Texas would be good, we owe them (and they owe us).

USC and ND would always come up in such a list.  Penn State, Ohio State, Wisconsin, teams that line up and intend to try and mash you.

The most commonly played team of note is Clemson in history.

UNC would make my list for personal reasons, and the fact that both claim to be the oldest state university in the country.

And Eastern Michigan of course.

Miami would like it to play Michigan. They'd get some fans in the stands.
Hell, I'd go. I've been to a couple Hurricanes games. Been to some Dolphins games too. Before and after the renovation to the stadium. It was kind of a dump, but that NFL stadium is super nice now after all that money they just spent renovating it. Nice stadium, but it's really far away from the city of Miami and even further from Coral Gables. And the stadium is pretty much always full when the Dolphins play- and it's pretty much always empty when the Hurricanes play.

Jim needs to set up annual homes and homes with Miami asap.

If it's annual, it needs to be somewhat close, which kinda limits the field, outside ND, I suppose.

Random ones
Washington - Battle of UWs
Vandy - Free wins against a good academic school and Nashville is nice
Arkansas - Bert Bowl

Honestly, I see no need for this for UW because of geography.

Sounds like y'all are scared of a certain team from the West... Lafayette...


Well they are the only team that has consistently demonstrated the ability to hang with OSU, this Millennium. 

I for one would prefer to keep Nebraska as the fixed crossover, but understand that the series is a dud, since no one from either fan base seems to have even noticed that the two teams play every year. 

In fact I have even seen multiple OSU fans suggest that OSU should start playing Nebraska every year, as if that is not already a thing. They already have what they are clamoring for, but are seemingly too dense to connect the dots.

Exactly.

That has to be bewildering to Buckeye fans. Boiler fans can't make heads or tails of it either. 

There's no reason these teams should even be in the zip codes of each other most of the past two decades, and yet here we are.

I kind of wish we didn't have divisions.  Going through those team of the decade and you realize how rarely you actually play some other teams in the conference.

That brings us to another display of Buckeye fans having something wrong with their memories. Most behave as though the most recent Spoiling was some sort of an isolated, once in a generation type of event.

I deeply loathe fixed crossovers, though I guess IU-Purdue makes them a needed evil in some way.

I know people don't get it, because we want to be "fair" or something, but the conference can just let us have our fixed crossover without needing the rest of you guys to do it. 

I recognize that people probably look at it like somehow we're benefiting by our fixed crossover being a "weak" team... But so be it. Not like Purdue and IU are going to be playing that crossover game wondering which team will lose its undefeated record. 

We know we're on the bottom of the totem pole. Let us have our little piddly bucket game at the conference's kids table and we'll try to stay out of your way.
