Rutgers Adds Miami Ohio To 2025 OOC Slate

[bigmatt718]

So we have 1 opening left which will 100% be an FCS team like Howard for 2025. We have Ohio U and Miami Ohio as OOC opponents in 2025.

Lame but fine opponent

 

[BigEastPhil]

We ll be making the rounds with Ohio teams. Think we also play at Ohio State next year

Don't know about lame. 11-3 MAC champion last year and beat Akron 19-0. Rutgers should win but no cakewalk.

So I guess high risk , not exciting matchup for the fan base or winning over national perception then.

The land of Ben Roethlisberger

And since college football video games seem trendy again, Ben was awesome back then around 2003. Back when you worked hard to type in names and men were men !

Winning games against other 1A opponents excites the fanbase. Do enough of that and national recognition happens by default.

What is it with playing another Ohio school? Is the game extra cheap or something?

MAC is a mid-level conference which fills the bill for 1 OOC game.

We do play in Columbus next year.

 

[angmo]

Cool. When we win we'll have beaten a Miami and an Ohio.

MAC plays in Big Ten geographic footprint. Think of playing teams from the MAC as auditions for the transfer portal.

 

[Brisket and Bourbon]

RU should schedule more sec and acc games…

We’ll get them in bowl games

 

[Mr_Twister]

Don’t schedule Notre Dinero. I don’t want a MetLife Stadium game.

 

[e5fdny]

That will be a home game here and an away game for them at MetLife or South Bend if something like that ever happens.

Great this way you can play the SEC or ACC twice…or one each…better than Miami OH…they’re better than Howard or Akron or freakin Monmouth, but not by a lot. Want to play a Midwest team? Then WVU or Cincy…the b12 is a surprisingly salty conference even after paper clip and cow left it…

I saw them at Army a few years ago.
Army only won by ten points so a tough game.

Or Bowling Green or maybe McNeese State?
