OT: Texas at Michigan, 2024

[Mr_Twister]

7 September 2024 Texas at Michigan football. Now that’s can’t miss college football.
We host Akron and their head coach Joe Moorhead.
It would be nice if it was Deion Sanders and Colorado.
Being in the Big Ten is great — one of these days we will be in a marquee matchup.

Remember that this was part of the deal Fox had to allow UT and OU to leave early.

Their bet paid off.

 

[Virginiarufan]

Cool, we kicked off the last two seasons with Power 5 opponents. Nothing wrong with starting next year as a warm up against Akron.

Everyone wants to be in a marquee matchup until we get one and lose by 45

Michigan's OOC last year was pathetic.

 

[rutgersguy1]

OOC is reversed compared to the last few years between OSU and Michigan. OSU has Akron, WMU and Marshall next year.

Still the best college football team in 2023. Sour grapes? Take a look at SEC teams OOC games.

A couple good games next year. Alabama is playing at Wisconsin and LSU is playing USC in LV.

I think I’m confused- since 2014- we have played PSUMI/OSU every year- what matchup are you looking for?

Alabama is also playing Western Kentucky and Mercer(never heard of them)

A noteworthy OOC game.

Arky, VaTech?

Maybe next year we should schedule the national champion. We haven’t played one of them in a while. 🙄

The NC asked not to play us next year…lol

FYI - a marquee match-up isn't playing an ooc name brand and getting our ass kicked.

I'm happy playing a P5 we have a chance against for OOC. "Marquee" is gibberish.

The two B1G games that will have NC implications are Texas - Michigan and OSU - Oregon. Not sure about Michigan challenging for a B1G or NC in 2024 as they lose a lot - especially on offense and it was announced that Harbaugh is leaving for the Chargers.

The other 3, however, Texas, OSU and Oregon - all have been mentioned strongly as NC contenders .... especially OSU now with those monster Portal additions

Alabama plays Mercer, and other smaller programs, in order to secure an almost guaranteed win, and provide those smaller colleges with guaranteed money for their athletic departmen.

I know other succesful programs do as well.

Rutgers will demolish a once proud Razorback program over the next few years. We will be back , just not real soon.

Even better if they are in-state and public.

Everybody does it. I was replying to Virginiarufan and rutgersguy1 who were implying that Michigan and even Rutgers just play powderpuffs.

I didn’t imply anything about anyone. I posted Michigan has played a weak OOC schedule the last few years (meaning no P5) and they’ve reversed with OSU. OSU had played Oregon and ND as their P5 games the last few years while Michigan didn’t have a P5 game. Next year Michigan has Texas and OSU doesn’t have a P5.

Also posted some notable OOC games in the SEC. For a change they’re leaving SEC country and playing on the road in other parts of the country.
