McCartney definitely played the 'red letter' game up,  banning Big Red soda from store shelves, etc.  It was a little forced, at least at the outset, but the game deserved rivalry status, at least for a 20 yr period.*  It was useful that CU ascended as OU went through its dark age period post-Switzer.  Same with KSU.  
I think this is the key.  If Penn State and Michigan State had both been as good, together, for a decade, like Nebraska and Colorado were, I think that would have gained more traction too.  Granted as it was maybe starting to, with the new divisions, the Big Ten took it away again, go figure.
The other thing Nebraska-Colorado had, is that while Nebraska viewed Oklahoma as the rival, Colorado didn't have a natural #1 rival in conference otherwise, so they fully bought in.  Neither MSU or PSU is ever going to fully buy into that rivalry as long as UM and OSU are still in the conference.

Ed Zachery.  And they developed a strong program.
from 1988 to 1996 at the time of the game, the Buffs were ranked in the top 20, Huskers ranked in the top 10.  Buffs were ranked in the top 10 six times.  Won two games back to back followed by the tie.

My analysis, potential annual OOC rivalries for each B1G school:



Penn State:
This one is obvious, Pittsburgh.  OTOH, I can understand why a lot of Penn State fans might not want Pittsburgh as an annual rival.  It might be bad for business generally to treat Pittsburgh as an equal.  If not Pitt though, it would be between Syracuse and West Virginia and those don't seem any better.  


i'd be ok if you penciled in bama for psu. we had a decade of h/h games back in 80's, and a quick h/h a few years back. i think most bama/psu fans would be up for an almost annual matchup between them. there's no geographical ties nor any historical conference ties, but we do have history together.

Bama and Wisconsin should play home and home. Make some history.

OSU:
My top priority is having a National Marquee Game every year (H-A.) 2nd priority, I also really like having an Ohio Team on the schedule (H.) For that 3rd OOC I'd prefer it to NOT be another "payday" game against a G5 opponent. If it could be a 2 for 1 with a lower P5 opponent.
That sounds like my template for making Non-Conference schedules on the XBox.

  • Boston College in Montreal
  • Syracuse in Toronto
  • Washington in Vancouver

I don't think an NCAA FB game would get very much traction in Canadia, but like the outside of the box thinkin'

I am also a little bummed that OSU could be losing Nebraska as their fixed crossover. 

While obviously not a nonCon game, it was a pretty awesome extra-Divisional game to have on the annual.

as a previous tOSU fan I love the idea of Bucks/Huskers

but, much more history with PSU.... and if yer Frost, why knock heads with the biggest Gorilla in the cage every season

had that with the Sooners for more than a few decades

can always meet in Indy if both teams are elite

Yeah, I can live with losing Nebraska to Penn State, I suppose. 
If instead Big Blue winds up getting to play both Notre Dame and Nebraska every year... well that would just be infuriating.

Maybe they should just revive the idea of the Big Ten-PAC scheduling alliance

OHIO ST-USC
PSU-oregon
Mich-Wash
Indy-Utah
MSU-Ariz St.

Pur-Ore. ST
Wisc-UCLA
Iowa-Arizona
Neb-Colorado
Minn-WSU
NW-Stanford
ILL-Cal
