Not regarding that as bait, but I would assume the following responses from those who know more than me about this:
1. Michigan just isn't gonna do it regardless cause of gate receipts, why bother taking the risk, yada yada.
2. MSU needs that sorta thing more than Michigan to stay prominent.

This series is replacing West Virginia (who are oing to a 9-game conference schedule).
So over the next decade Sparty has scheduled a three game series against Boise State, (2012, 2022-23), Oregon (2014-15), Alabama (2016-17), and Miami (2020-21). By 2016 there should be a Pac12 team on the schedule for everybody every year. They offset that with playing Notre Dame less.

Originally posted by WM Wolverine View PostHow often does Ohio play more than one decent OOC opponent in a season?
As for tOSU, they've been relatively weak lately. Miami isn't what it used to be and Colorado is much worse, else last year's schedule might've been pretty good. Navy was respectable in 2009 to go along with USC (both teams beat Notre Dame FWIW).
The schedules in 2006, 2003, and 2002 were solid.
Looking forward I think Central Florida is a solid mid-major team + Cal. 2013 we have Vandy and at Cal. Meh. The 2014-18 schedules are looking tough.

Pac 12 -> B10 alliance is going to change scheduling pretty drastically and not just in football. Were soon going to be tied to the hip to the Pac 12, hopefully it works out well for all involved..
I like how they've proposed the football setup. Pac 12-B10 play in weeks 2, 3 & 4; 4 games each week... Top teams in B10, play top teams in Pac 12; 1-year at home, next on the road...

Probably means Michigan and OSU will see a lot of USC.
Oddly enough, Michigan and USC have only played twice in the regular season and not since the 50's. If they do match up strength against strength, the least desirable locations (Wazzu and Oregon State) are pretty much going to be avoided all the time.
