Now that BYU's ascendency to the Big-12 is obvious...

[Goatnapper'96]

does anyone have any clue how next year's schedule breaks down?

My assumption is BYU will be in a 10 team Big-12 next year and the other two teams will join the year after.

The Big-12 is playing 9 conference games under that scenario. That would leave BYU 3 OOC games. I expect it will be the three Utah schools projected to be on the schedule. Hence, BYU's home schedule would be 4 Big-12 opponents, Utah State and Weber State.

However, if the Big-12 goes to 12 then I think it goes back to playing an 8 game conference schedule. Then I think BYU would keep its game at Notre Dame or, my preference, Boise State as well as the other 3 OOC games.

When will this stuff be finalized?

Which OOC games are the most likely for next year assuming BYU in the Big-12, other than Utah?

I really wish we would keep Hawaii on the schedule.

I just saw this CB post:

If we fill in Missouri's place in a 10-team Big 12 schedule
next year, we play the following home/away split:

Provo:
Oklahoma
Kansas State
TCU (taking A&M's place)
Baylor
Kansas

Away:
Texas
Texas Tech
Iowa State
Oklahoma State

I'd venture to guess we'd keep Hawaii, Utah State and Boise State (since those are the long-term contracts signed) or push one or two off to keep Wazzu and/or Georgia Tech on schedule next year

Commence the drooling......

Dude we are bigtime now, what do we have to gain by playing Hawaii? Aloha and Mahalo!

We gain an opportunity to go to Hawaii in December.

Thine Elders of Israel will be too busy planning their trip to the 5th place Big 12 bowl game.

And schedule a 13th game every other year. So we've got that going for us, which is nice.

We are going to play in SLC next year. I also don't think they will give us 5 home conference games in our first year. While I doubt the Big-12 will treat us like the two teams that just joined the Pac, like most college football fans in the nation I have already forgotten who they were, were treated I doubt they are that accomodating to us.

I think we take the 4 home conference game year in order to salvage our "saturday is a special day because it is the day we rebroadcast BYU football games" demand. It is the art of the negotiation!

That dude don't know shit. His knees probably buckled at the darker, or at least HOW DARK IT LOOKED TO THE PUSSIES WHO PUT THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND, hours. Luckily, present company knows nothing about that, eh?

Dude, I live in Idaho why would I want to go to Hawaii in December?

I question the premise of this topic.

BYU still needs to be playing Utah.

This is also a reason we may keep playing Hawaii.

Not to mention that Bronco probably wants to go surfing.

Ah, nothing like the Snake River Valley in December. Unplowed roads, sub zero temperatures, and co-eds dressed from head to toe in thick layers of wool and polyester.

Maybe we can insist on a 2:1...
