Dream Non-Conference Rivalies....

[volfan1231]

I'd like to see Tennessee vs Clemson "Battle of the Orange". My Dad has always been a Clemson fan being from Greenville SC and I've been a Vol fan for 20 years so it'd be interesting for me.

TN vs ND is definitely one I want to see brought back.

This one is the one I want.

 

[Biopsyman]

Tennessee vs USCW.... Class vs Trash

 

[YorkVol]

Penn State
Ohio State
Texas
USC
Miami
Georgia Tech (old rivalry)

 

[PagingDrVol]

Texas
Clemson
UNC

It really makes no sense that Clemson and UT don't play more often.

Bring on the noles or canes. May help with recruiting. Gives us another opportunity to play vs a FL school

 

[VolAllen]

Arizona or ASU
Boston College or UConn
Cal
Colorado
Ga Tech
Illinois or Indiana
Miami
Michigan or MSU
Minnesota or Wisconsin
North Carolina or NC State
Notre Dame
Ohio State
Penn State or Pitt
UCLA or USC
Texas
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia

Sooooo basically anyone?

Sooooo basically anyone?

I think deep down he's saying "anyone but Oregon again"

Seems like Dickey tried to make a rivalry with ND and UCLA.

I'd be cool with playing Oklahoma every year.

But if there was any major conference team that Bama has a legit history with, it's Penn State. That's where I would look first if Bama was going to have a permanent OOC rival.

ND, Michigan or Ohio State. The media exposure that these 3 schools gets is ridiculous. Plus, there are very good recruits in those areas.

 

[JohnMarxism]

For recruiting reasons: North Carolina, Miami, Florida State, Clemson

For rivalry reasons: Notre Dame, Ohio State

I'd like to see ohio state. Big brand school with national media implications. We also recruit against them frequently.. Ex: gibson, deberry, bell, hurd, etc.

Both were actually started by Bob Woodruff. Dickey continued the series.

^ this! Some of those TN vs ND games were instant classics.

Also I know it would be a conference game, but would love to play TxAM on a bi-yearly basis.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Vols vs Indiana. Every year.

 

[VOLnMiami]

I like UT/UNC or UT/Notre Dame....Nebraska is another one I would really enjoy.

 

[ReadCT]

I would like to see us play Texas every year. I always refer to them as North Mexico University to my Texas friends since without Tennessee they would be speaking Spanish down there.

You obviously have not been to Texas lately; they DO speak Spanish down there.

Per OP's Q:

Texas
ND
BC
Baylor

I like going to the early OOC game. Though a spanking, the Oregon trip was amazing last year. I think DFW, Chicago, or Boston would be fun trips.

And yes, I will be at OK in Sept.

 

[ddubb76]

Can't be noles or Clemson. Both already have sec rivalries. Noles play fl every year sc plays Clemson. The perm would have to be another team that already don't have a perm sec rivalry.

 

[ddubb76]

Is there anybody who knows who we really are looking at?

 

[JCHateSteve]

VT
UNC
ND
UCLA
USC
Texas

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Ohio State
Florida State
USC
Oregon
Penn State
Texas
