OOC away games in 2026

Cajuns Football

I just saw that Alabama and WVU cancelled their home/home and coastal picked up the free home game and added WVU to their schedule next year

I know Dr. Maggard is working on this but since Jech is most likely going to be added to the conference next year we need 2 away games out of conference for next year

We don’t have a P4 and since the SEC is moving to 9 home games and one OOC P4 it will be difficult to schedule one

The best bet is another ACC school which only play 8 conference games but I don’t know who has an opening

A quick fix G5 would be Kent State which is an easy win

Jech being added at this time royally F**ked us

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

ACC may go to 9 next year to match SEC.

Would have a trickledown effect. I can see a situation where we don’t have a P4 next year

They already have 4 OOC games and they will most likely play an extra PAC game since they have 8 members

Return trip to Lake Charles next season?

Would scheduling a Mountain West team be realistic? Preferably Colorado State or Wyoming. I’d love to see the Cajuns play in person again and those would probably be the closest schools for that. Lol

Bring back this thread because Maggard has not brought up anything when it comes to non conference scheduling for next year since Tech is in this legal dispute it might take a bit but here are the teams are also looking for a non-con and if Tech doesn’t join the conference in 2026 we might need 2 of these Army

  1. Boise State
  2. Colorado State
  3. FIU
  4. Florida Atlantic (FAU)
  5. Florida State
  6. Fresno State
  7. Jacksonville State
  8. UNLV

Which one intrigues you? One of the Florida directional schools or UNLV are at the top of my list

Could always use another money game, so I’d take Florida State

We need to do everything possible to schedule 2 P4 games a year vs. traditionally middle of the road programs, then 2 top G6 programs. No more FCS games.

And go on the road for all I care to make this happen! I’m fine with 5 home games more years than not.

So, lets complain how we shit on the average fan. But lets take away a home game. Brilliant!

Oh no. We didn’t get our game against NC A&T. How are we gonna carry on?

Cant wait until they do this and season ticket prices stay the same….and the crash out will be hilarious.

That seems like a pretty easy fix.

Also they will never do this with as long as Mag is here. He’s made that abundantly clear.

That was a good road trip!

Lamar home
UAB home
Tech road???

I’d be good with a pay check at FSU. Also winnable if they don’t figure out a lot this offseason. Any other options on the road are fine as well. Florida directional school would probably be a good opportunity for a win.

This is the answer. We’ve got a rivalry going with these people. Not a bad road trip. Winnable game. Good to keep a relationship with a Texas school, particularly one in a higher conference.
