I would love to see the 2 major sports non-conference schedules stepped up in competition.
I know these aren't realistic, but here would be my dream non-conference schedules for football (4) and basketball (5).
Football:
- Alabama, Florida, Oregon, Pittsburgh
Basketball:
- Dayton, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Syracuse
I know that the football team only plays 1 or 2 "power" (BCS/AQ) non-conference teams a year. The basketball team only plays 3-4 non-conference BCS schools a year. But, if you could pick 4 power teams for the football schedule and 5 power teams for the basketball schedule, who would they be?
