I'd love to see aTm play in Madison. The favor would no doubt be returned.hey, bama has played in madison before... in 1928. lost 15-0, shh don't tell.
SEC teams do not like playing up there. LSU was the last one, in 1971.
LSU did come to the state in 2016, but that was at Lambeau.
Bama is coming to Madison in 2025.
Big name schools generally just don't come.
This made me think of a go-to regional OOC opponent teams tended to utilize more often than their fair share. In the SEC, through the 80s and 90s, it was Southern Miss.Notre Dame.
Everyone played Southern Miss, every few years, it seemed. They were a decent program - wouldn't usually threaten to beat you, but would always put up a good fight. They even beat a highly-ranked FSU team in one season-opener.
.
Was there a program like that for B1G teams? A particular independent or G5 midwestern school that everyone seemed to schedule a little more often than one would assume?
Nebraska has historically wedded itself to a H&H w Pac 12 team. They've played a Pac12 team about 40 times over the past 40 years. I think Stanford is only Pac 12 team they have not played in that time.and a bunch of Big Ten programs
Last SEC reg season games were Bama late 70s and Auburn early 80s. A couple ACC sets w VT and Wake this century.
otherwise Nebraska loved playing all those old Independents, especially FSU and Penn St and So Car. They have played USM a bunch too, even once at Hattiesburg.

I suppose it's possible some of those go away with SEC scheduling
Doubt it. We're already going to have to find replacements for home-and-home series scheduled against Georgia and Florida at the end of the decade.Howdy.
Howdy.You know I'm all for it!
Will need to replace UCLA for 2029 and 2030.We'll be replacing Georgia in 2029 and Florida in 2030, so let's call our respective ADs and make it so!
Pretty sure OSU had one on the docket vs Tennessee, but it never materialized for whatever reason. Or maybe it was Georgia.I'm pretty sure it was actually both. I was planning to go to the game in Knoxville but it fell through. I was considering UGA as well.
don't think SEC and Big Ten are allowed to scheduleWhich is a shame. What a stupid direction college football has taken.
especially going forward
well, as show up thread
there's not a strong history of scheduling between conferences in the past
with TV rivalries and such, probably less chance going forward
but, as always, we have BOWL season!
Horns were actually moving the other direction though. Home-and-home against Ohio State back in 2005/6, the more recent series against Maryland (ugh), and then 2024--2027 against Michigan and Ohio State. But I'm afraid that after those series are done, the new conference stand-off btw B1G and SEC, will prohibit or limit further engagements.Wait, is that really a thing? Conference stand-off between SEC and B1G?
Wait, is that really a thing? Conference stand-off between SEC and B1G?Well there's certainly a growing level of animosity between the two conferences, currently. And speaking specifically about Texas, which has made obvious recent moves to schedule the B1G more often, I'm expressing concern that this animosity will affect our potential for scheduling B1G teams in the future.
What did I miss here. Besides, from a general glance, I don't think the B1G ever really played in the Southeast before either.

I really felt like it was animosity between the B1G/SEC vs the ACC/PAC/Big 12. Because we're going to the Power 2...and the rest. So if anything, the SEC and B1G is set, what do they have against each other? You can't possibly get any bigger or richer....there's nothing left on the table to take. And I seriously doubt any schools will be switching from either conference.

You're right. There is no animosity between the B1G/SEC to the power 3 (uncapitalized !). There animosity is from the power 3 towards the Power 2.Well sure. How could there not be?
You're right. There is no animosity between the B1G/SEC to the power 3 (uncapitalized !). There animosity is from the power 3 towards the Power 2. I should have clarified my statement.Same. 16.
My take is that the power 3 server as buffer between the SEC and B1G. Fodder for the CFP. So far the only exception is Clemson, who will soon be part of the SEC. I forget, how many teams in the new B1G? I guess the SEC is up to 16 with OU/Tex, how many is in the B1G after expansion?
