Ten Out-of-Conference College Football Series That Need to Happen

The list below consists of out of conference games that I would like to see materialize. In a world without a playoff, teams are stepping back from scheduling great out of conference games and I think one of the benefits of a playoff is that coaches would be more likely to battle test their teams with exciting out of conference games.

Whether you agree with me or not that a playoff would help scheduling, at the very least a playoff could possibly spawn some of these meetings below.

Some of the series below have some history, some don’t, but all would benefit the rabid college football fan in all of us. So in no particular order…

Arkansas-Texas (Texas leads series 55-21)

I kind of cheated on this one as I am aware that they are playing this year but this old Southwestern Conference match up should be an annual one. We need to remember the good ole days when these two schools got to express their hatred for each other the way most rivals do: on the field.

When talking to a Razorback fan, it won’t take long for a vein to pop out of their foreheads when mentioning the Longhorns. Plus you gotta love the mascots. Beef and pork, this match up is just delicious.

Miami-Nebraska (Series tied 5-5)

Two storied programs trying to build their way back into the land of dominance. This would be a chance for Husker fans to travel down to sunny Miami and Canes fans to head up to the heartland.

Oh who am I kidding, we all know Miami fans don’t travel. Nevertheless, with a tied series score, these two teams can duke it out and prove which program is ascending back to a level with which they are more familiar.

I think all of us whether we love them or hate them would like to live in a world where Nebraska and Miami are the big dogs.

Oh and no police blotter jokes here, that’s so 90’s.
