I'd watch that. Every year. And I don't watch a lot of college football that doesn't involve the Bearcats.

Not Kansas-Missouri. One criterion should be, would the game get better TV ratings than a conference game between two average P5 teams. Pick two teams that were about average last year. Georgia-Kentucky, TCU-Texas Tech, whatever. The other four games you listed pass that test. A Kansas-Missouri football game does not.

Thanks. My dad's family is from Kansas, and he went to K State (as did my mom, who was from Huntington Beach). Even for K Staters this was a must watch game (State pride on the line). Missouri vs Kansas is a rivalry that goes back to the battles for Kansas (border wars) just prior to the Civil War. This is an ancient rivalry. It should always be played in Kansas City. The animosity between Kansas and Missouri got the game cancelled. But heads have cooled and it needs to restart.

Wedge, you know California, but you don't know Kansas.

Haven't seen TN vs. VT Tech yet, so I'll add the Smoky-Hokie Rivalry.

I have mixed feelings about playing FCS but as long as it happens anyway, TN vs ETSU.

Also TN vs. Memphis should happen more often.

I'd also want Vandy vs. Wake to be a yearly thing.

That would set up a great SEC east vs ACC lineup while the SEC west plus Missouri plays Big 12 teams.

19) NM State vs. New Mexico (Thanksgiving)
20) BYU vs. Utah State
21) Utah State vs. Utah
22) Utah vs. BYU (Thanksgiving)
23) Houston vs. Rice (Thanksgiving)
24) Eastern Washington @ Washington St. (Labor Day Weekend)
25) UAB vs. Alabama (week before Thanksgiving, gives Alabama a defacto home game in Birmingham every other year)
26) Southern Miss vs. Ole Miss
27) Southern Miss vs. Mississippi State
28) WKU vs. Kentucky
29) Memphis vs. Tennessee
30) Eastern Michigan @ Michigan (First Home Game for Michigan)
31) Kansas vs. Missouri (Thanksgiving)

Cincy vs. Louisville (#7) should resume their annual rivalry in both football and basketball annually. It was one of the oldest continuous rivalries in the country (since 1929) until the demise of the old Big East.

UC should also have more frequent home and home contests with Ohio State, again in both football and basketball. Not annually, but every other year, perhaps. It's been a long time since the Buckeyes have agreed to play Cincy in Cincy and actually showed up, maybe because they were damned lucky to escape with a late 4th quarter victory the last time they played there.

Please. That was the only year in the last 100 years in which both teams were ranked. Any game between two ranked teams near the end of the season gets good ratings.

Sorry Wedge, you are off on this. The Boder War is as American as apple pie. Wish the Kansas legislature would let it happen, but they are still mad about mizzou leaving the Big 12. (See Texas vs Texas A&M game)

Typically Navy vs Notre Dame doesn't feature two ranked teams either. The rivalry game is too important to not be played.

UC and tOSU should definitely play every year on the hardwood. UC, OSU, Xavier and Dayton should kick off the season with an exempt tournament.

You're distorting. The idea of the thread is that all of these games are so important that the teams should be compelled to play them every year whether they want to play each other or not. Cal and Stanford are in the same conference. If someday in the future they are not in the same conference, and there is not enough interest to play it as a non-conference game, then so be it. In those circumstances, no one should force them to play.

But someone suggested, and you appear to be agreeing, that the one and only year ever in which both Kansas and Missouri were ranked is somehow evidence that the game is every-year must-see TV. Sorry. Not buying it.

We'll see who cares when the cats leave Oxford on the wrong side of the scoreboard this September. The decade-plus joyride against Miami is over.

Miami-Marshall used to a great rivalry when then they were in the MAC, but it went dead for a while. We had a home-and-home during our winless season and the one following, we're starting one up again this fall. Wouldn't mind seeing it relatively often, although with one of four OOC games taken by UC and one with a buy game, it doesn't give us much maneuvering room for scheduling other teams.

I agree, however we both know UNC vs. Duke is the the Thanksgiving game, and NC State and ECU should play on Thanksgiving as well. It would be the best for the entire state of North Carolina and really create more college football noise in our state late in the season which we seem to lose as the season goes along and as basketball season approaches.

In football, I have to disagree that Duke vs UNC is the bigger game. Wake vs Duke makes more sense. I think ECU vs ASU could become a great rivalry game. Still, it seems ECU would want to have an AAC rivalry game on that weekend. Who is ECU's AAC arch rival? I would say UCF but it seems like USF/UCF would play that weekend.

ODU will eventually become ECU's AAC rival.

Don't agree at all with this^ don't put thoughts in my head. The game is a college sports rivalry game. College sports are about tradition and rivalries. Don't care what the rankings are. I've watched Stanford vs Cal if it comes on TV because it's a rivalry game, not because either were highly ranked.--which like Kansas vs Missouri, is rarely the case. I'm from Iowa originally and know how huge the game is, just like I know about Cy-Hawk and Bedlam rivalries even though it was rare for both Iowa and Iowa St to be ranked at same time and until recently OSU was rarely ranked when they played OU in Bedlam.

I would think that a reasonable scheduling goal for ECU would be to have UNC home and home, alternating with NC State home and home so that the Pirates have one of the two every year and get one of them in Greenville every other year.

I would try to make all these games the season opener.
