Boy, the USC Trojans sure dumbed down their non-conference schedule. Arkansas St. and Idaho. That’ll bring fans into the Coliseum for sure.
Most all schools play one fcs school, a lower mid major and then one high profile game. The SEC and ACC with only 8 conference games will throw in an extra game against the MAC or Sunbelt. 2015 is not USC’s most ambitious schedule but they are coming off all these years of sanctions with reduced scholarships, they still play Notre Dame along with 9 conference games.
Ditto for Oregon. Two crap opponents. Stanford has at least challenged themselves outside the conference.
Yeah, Oregon plays Michigan State (a potential top 10 team) on the road. You’re a joke, Oregon has consistently played home and home games with Big 5 conference teams for years. Stanford has overrated Notre Dame to hang their hat on, other than that, they play NOBODY outside of the conference you buffoon.
Really wish that the PAC-12 would crack down and not let USC or Stanford play Notre Dame on the last weekend. UW-WSU, UO-OSU, UA-ASU, Cal-Stanford, UCLA-USC should all be on the last weekend. If they insist on allowing USC and Stanford to play Notre Dame on the last weekend, then displace the Colorado-Utah rivalry from the last weekend to accommodate this.
Or better still, make whoever played Notre Dame in October have to play 12 straight. Cal could play UCLA every Thanksgiving weekend.
The Pac-12 should adopt the SEC rule that says teams must play a game on the weekend before the championship game. Instead of having Cal play ASU, have Cal play UCLA, which would force Stanford and USC to find opponents to play when the ND game isn’t that week.
USC and ND have closed the season at the Coliseum every other year for over 85 years and that’s never going to change, and the Stanford/ND series will undoubtedly be extended after the final scheduled contest (as of now) in 2019, which means that ND’s annual visits to Palo Alto at the end of the season will undoubtedly continue for years to come, certainly for recruiting purposes for both schools among many other reasons.
Oregon’s game at MSU will undoubtedly be THE non-conference game of the year in 2016 just as the recent matchup was.
Agreed, USC vs Notre Dame and Stanford vs Notre Dame are a great high profile series and in particular the USC vs Notre Dame series has long traditional dates every year. Not sure why the one not playing ND the last weekend can’t play their traditional rival if not have that team play CU or Utah.
I don’t know why the Pac12 doesn’t follow the SEC and some of the other conferences and spread their non conference games thru out the season. This would create more inventory during the season instead of 12 games each week early in September and only 4 games on some weekends later in the season.
Due to the fact that the SEC has lots of underwhelming games with no national interest in October & November on top of the tons of them they have every September, the Pac-12’s long-running practice of restricting OOC games to Sept. excluding the USC/ND traditional matchup makes plenty of sense. It certainly allows Pac-12 schools to snag some very high-profile timeslots for some of their showdowns, such as the UCLA/Oregon contest getting that 7PM (EDT) timeslot on ESPN, last year, a timeslot which would almost always involve at least one SEC team.
For at least the past three seasons, every Pac-12 school has played the week before the conference title game just as the SEC has done for ages.
