Football New 2024 football schedule incoming?
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
So our first three games in 2024 are at USC, at OU, at UDub.
Would be great to spend 23 days driving, biking, camping the West Coast!
But shocking they plan on playing next year. That’s pretty fast.

If they didn't they wouldn't have anyone to play since Colorado is joining the Big XII next year and others will too.
Also, there is no media contract for the PAC whatever for next season.
A&M and Mizz left the Big 12 in November and played the next year, so the PTB will get this done.
Yep, we’ll get new opponents for 2024 and 2025. Hopefully it will result in a much better home slate in 2025.
One permanent opponent would allow for playing every other school at least twice in 4 years.
Would MSU accept UM going off of schedule or is it back to ridiculousness of a player never playing against another conference team throughout their career?

It’s just a random idea and has no basis in fact. 2024 is a longer season, so most teams will have 2 byes. Neither PSU nor USC are eligible to play in week 0 though (but Oregon and UCLA can because they both play a game Hawai’i)
A lot of people don't have their 2024 calendar yet to realize it's a rare 56 week year with the leap month and all.
Not sure if you are being facetious but the college football season goes from Labor Day weekend to Thanksgiving weekend. Most years that’s 13 Saturdays. Some years, like 2024, Labor Day is relatively early and Thanksgiving is relatively late and it is 14 Saturdays. And this enables 2 bye weeks for a 12 game schedule.
