Future Schedules

I've heard nothing, but I'm guessing for 17 and 18 it will probably be a MAC team and maybe a MAC/AAC program respectively.

We already have Okie State and PSU for 17 and ND and PSU for 18.
 
Still need several- unless ACC would go to 9 games-

I'd like to see a respectable P5 team get singed for a home and home for '19 and '20.. Richmond, ND and Marshall OOC screams one more P5 game. Ditto for '19.. Was hoping our new AD was going to get away from the FCS, Mac level, then 2 P5 opponent model but not looking like it.. cant wait for the day this D1-aa garbage goes away..
 
I agree, PghFan.

Maybe someone like a Minnesota, Illinois or Iowa (again), perhaps an SEC team?
How about an Arkansas or Missouri? Maybe even a USC (Gamecocks).. Even a MWC team would be ok, a better one though. Not sure what Fresno or CSU is up to recently, but that would be an entertaining opponent. As far as "formula matchups" Stick with the 2 P5 opponents, keep the Akron-caliber game and do a high level mid major (basketball term but i'll use it here for football) like a Col State, Fresno, USF, Cincy, or a Good Confr USA Team.. We are pretty close just need to tweak that fcs game into a good non-p5 opponent..
 
2020 is a long way off, but I already don't have a great feeling about a road game at Marshall.
