About a month ago I found myself curious to know which teams the University of Tennessee was scheduled to play over the next few years. I did some research and discovered that many major college football programs have scheduled marquee out-of-conference games.
On the surface, this fact comes as no surprise. However, I think you will find it interesting that some schools have scheduled these games as far as 13 years in advance!
At present, the year 2013 will showcase seven contests involving current BCS powers, and the year 2015 will have no less than five major games.
It should be noted that you cannot view an entire slate of 12 games for your favorite team in the year 2017. However, if you know how your team’s conference schedule rotates (if applicable) then you can determine at least 75% of the 12 games that will be played in the foreseeable future.
Below, I’ve provided a list of several teams that have very compelling games scheduled over the next 13 years. LSU and North Carolina State have scheduled a game in the year 2020, holding the distinction of being the most advanced scheduled game among Division 1 schools.
I selected several teams from the BCS conferences and listed the most intriguing games. As you will note, should the status quo persist, some true gems that await us. I’ll have to give Oklahoma, UCLA, Nebraska, Tennessee, and Oregon the nod for scheduling the most interesting and potentially difficult teams for the future.
