Some teams play the same team every year in their out of conference schedule:
Nebraska has always had their out of conference games change up almost yearly, with some home-and-home games and some only in Lincoln games.
These games can derail a high potential season. Teams that play each other every year know the tendencies of each other and many of the games always end up being close.
With the exception of Notre Dame vs USC, these schools are all within 150 miles of each other. We don't have the luxury of being that close to anyone except KSU.
If you could choose one FBS school within 550 miles of Lincoln to play in our out of conference schedule every year for the next 30+ years, who would you pick and why?
