Who the Vols should schedule next, OOC

[Pepe]

Let's schedule the Ohio State.

No, only schools that are respectable

Thinking about this more, list of teams I think we'd most benefit from a home-and-home with.

1. Maryland
2. North Carolina
3. NC State
4. Texas
5. UCLA
6. Cal
7. Penn State
8. Miami
9. Arizona / Arizona State (*)
10. USC
11. Texas Tech

I don't know that we "benefit" from playing Washington per se, but would still be cool. But definitely would like to see a renewal of UCLA or Cal h-n-h in the pipeline.

I think playing some of the Midwestern schools has fewer tangible benefits. Do we really benefit from playing Notre Dame? Seems like they get the much better end of that deal.

(*) Weirdly, Arizona State makes much less sense now than it did 20 years ago, as their stadium capacity has fallen from 75K to 55K. That's a pretty big drop! They must be having major issues filling seats. Arizona's capacity has gone up slightly in the same timeframe, but it's also only at 55K.

Go to 9 conference games.
Play one Power Five OOC game every year, home and home.
Play two home cupcakes, preferably in state schools to help them financially and get us two guaranteed wins.
