    Teams I'd love to see BYU schedule and that are entirely within the realm of possible:

    Maryland
    Navy
    Duke
    UNC
    NC State
    Wake Forest
    Virginia
    Virginia Tech
    Pittsburgh
    West Virginia
    Marshall
    Rutgers
    Army
    Cincinnati
    Miami OH

    I'd be very happy if we could schedule half of those teams for home/away games over the next five years.
    Pure speculation, but I think BYU intentionally only scheduled one east-coast game each year. That's a lot of travel.

    EDIT: I'm not supposing you're suggesting we schedule all those in the same year.

    Since I was a kid I have always wanted to see us play Michigan State. I have no idea why, but I always thought that would be really cool.

    That was just a list of teams, not necessarily the order we would play them...

    It is unlikely, but that's what it would take for me to be excited.

    who do we play in November now? Utah is the only decent opponent, typically. That will still be true.

    Sounds like your going to get 2 for 1s!

    If our yearly schedule looks something like this as an Independent, then I will be a fan:

    USU
    UU
    UNR
    Fresno
    NMSU
    ND
    Army
    Navy
    Oklahoma State
    UCLA
    Boston College
    Purdue


    Add to that a tie in with the Holiday Bowl and a BCS game chance, I could dig that.


    I'm scared.

    Didn't ignore--I discounted. ND can get just about any school to work a game into their schedule at ND's convenience. I don't think it gets significantly easier for BYU suddenly, due to the need to fill an entire schedule.

    FTR, I'd rather play Wyoming than Duke. I will, however, concede that there are people out there that would like to play Hawaii. From a football perspective, though, that's not a great pickup.
    Duke(and maryland) are examples of what types of teams we could schedule. Take equivalent regional teams as substitutes.

    And remember...this is navy. There's no reason to assume we couldn't do better

    On the other hand - this would be HUGE for the WAC and they might just be desperate enough to make concessions. We'll see.
    I could see BYU trying to get the WAC tourny in SLC at the ESA

    I did here:

    "Done deal" it says - but it doesn't actually name any sources.

    Link? I said it was a decent answer to the scheduling
    questions. The rest of the advantages make it a slam dunk.
