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

I think this is the ultimate East meets West showdown. I’m not quite sure if it should be a home and home or a neutral site game. If you played it in a 100,000 seat stadium and allotted half of those tickets to USC fans and half of those seats to Florida fans, where would their egos sit? (Thank you, thanks for coming to the Cheap Shot Comedy Club, I’ll be here all week!)

But joking aside, I think both these teams could take this East-West battle and run with it.

Both California and Florida are hotbeds for college talent (football and ahem…otherwise) and you couldn’t claim to be a college football fan and not get excited about his game.

You’d be getting your popcorn ready just like I would.

Kudos to the Trojans for putting Ohio State on their schedule as I think that’ll be a great series but if I could pick one team for the Trojans to take on (besides my LSU Tigers), it would be the Gators.

Michigan-West Virginia (Michigan leads 1-0)

Well I know the obvious selling point here would be the Rich Rodriguez bowl. But more importantly, these schools are only 270 miles apart.

That’s shorter than the distance between Florida-Tennessee, Oklahoma-Nebraska, and Florida State-Miami and these teams have only played once.

These schools wear basically the same colors and thanks to Adidas trying to be more like Nike they have practically the same away jersey. If similar away jerseys don’t equal an epic throw down, I don’t know what does.

Oh wait, never mind, forget it. After last season, Michigan would never let another set of Mountaineers into the Big House. Forget I mentioned this one.

These are just some ideas, feel free to give me your own in the comments section as well as enlighten me as to why some of these series can’t or won’t happen.
