I always like it when power conference teams play a true road game against a G5 team. Below is the schedule for the year. I don't think I missed any. A couple of intriguing games to say the least.

Week 0:

SMU at Nevada

Week 2:

Kansas State at Tulane
Texas Tech at Washington State

Week 3:

Arizona State at Texas State
Cincinnati at Miami(Oh)
Oklahoma State at Tulsa
Oregon at Oregon State
Utah at Utah State
Virginia Tech at Old Dominion
Vanderbilt at Georgia State
Colorado at Colorado State
BYU at Wyoming

Week 4:

Duke at MTSU
Miami at USF
Virginia at Coastal Carolina
Purdue at Oregon State

Week 6:

Syracuse at UNLV

Week 8:

Wake Forest at UConn
 
Still not ready to call WSU in the Pac-12 a "G5" school. Maybe it's just me.

What I like to see are when the massive schools roll into the smaller schools that have much smaller stadiums. Hilarious, for me at least, to see the road team fans completely take over a stadium. Just scanning the list, UVA @ Coastal Carolina probably fits the bill the most.

But if UGA were going to UMass instead of the other way around...that would be AWESOME.

USF build their own stadium yet or they still at Ray J?

I would rather WSU and OSU go independent and play more P4 schools.

I think Utah at Utah State will probably have a ton of red in the stadium. The Universities are only about an hour and a half away from each other.

I do too. Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech, Kansas and Arizona have been willing to play in the Sun Bowl over the years. Not many are willing to do that.

I do like the fact that several of those listed are bigger schools helping the smaller neighboring schools out, i.e. Utah/Utah State, Oklahoma State/Tulsa, etc. I like it better than just buying the G5s to come to the big stadiums all the time. That said, playing at the big boys for a big payday is much more appealing to the ADs. I'm sure it pays more than the G5s make for a home game.

Me too. But I think they may be having a hard time putting future schedules together. Outside of Oregon and Washington playing the other in state team, I doubt many P2 teams are willing to agree to home and home series. They can afford to pay schools to have 8 home games a season. Big 12 teams might be willing to go to the PNW. Not sure about ACC schools.

I don't think it would be all that hard. They would play each other, a couple or 3 of the of the old PAC12, 2 or 3 of the top Northern state schools and their old OOC.

3+3+3+3=12 games. They would end up with a low-mid tier SOS.

Plus, it would give P4 schools trying to make the playoffs a bump in their SOS.

If those are still accurate.

They deserve credit for making the trip.
