For the posters on here, OSU vs. Miami is one of them. LSU has 2 of the top games, and Michigan made the list (but shouldnt of).

I agree with the 1st - 3rd top games and the only other ones worth watching (for me) is the #7 and #8 games. The OSU game would of been a good one if OSU had their players and coach.

What no Oregon at Stanford? I would have that in the top 3 or 4 games to watch this year.

I will give one thing to LSU, if they only lose 1 or less games with the schedule they have they should be in the NC game no problem.

If LSU and Oregon is the best non-conference game its going to be a lame OOC season.

San Diego State at Michigan is one of the top 12 non conference games? Right. I understand the Hoke angle, but that doesn't mean it is going to be one of the bigger games of the year.

If they'll use the Hoke angle for SDSU-UM, why not use the Holtz angle for USF-ND?

I think a list that doesn't mention USC-ND or Stanford-ND is flawed.

Although not stated, I think the article is about Non-Conference games that don't happen on a frequent basis. You are correct in saying those are great non-conference games, but those match ups take place all the time. If you are going to include the games you mentioned, you could also throw in Florida-Florida State and Arkansas-Texas A&M.

Fair enough solid point.

Notre Dame - South Florida will probably be a nice one though, plenty of story lines to go around.

I'd rather watch some mediocre SEC team play Western Alabama than watch a has been University, with the most delusional fan base in sports, get blown out by better teams.

Agree that SDSU vs Mich doesn't deserve to be on the list lol. Hell UC vs. Tenn or UC vs. NCST are both bigger games than that.

San Diego State was a very solid team last year. I'm not sure what they have coming back and the coaching change will impact them but I look forward to seeing them play early.

The game I'm most excited to see is the #2 game on that list. Those are going to be some awesome games on September 10th and 17th though.

I really want to see LSU play WVU in Morgantown. Its a tough place to play and WVU has the new Stud Offensive Coordinator/Coach in Waiting.

Someone was so interested in defending his POS team, he didn't read the article. The author states in the introduction that regularly scheduled games aren't included.

Don't try to rationalize with Notre Dame fans. If you don't think going 6-6 at best every year is the greatest season on the planet, then YOU'RE the delusional one.

can't wait for LSU and Oregon.

I'm still trying to swing some tickets for that one. It's like 3 days after my son is supposed to be born and I'll be home for my 14 days off.

I know we've discussed this before, but just for kicks do you know how many times Notre Dame has gone 6-6 for a season?

No, and I don't care. Notre Dame hasn't done anything but lose big games since I've been alive.

Cue the "Yeah, but in 1983 we won the National Championship over Syracuse" or some other season that no one outside of South Bend care about.

during their Spring Game, and he really hasn't quite panned out as well as I thought he was going to. If he struggles, it's going to be a
long yr for the Tigers with their schedule.
