I doubt we play any away games in the OOC going forward in-state. We're not going to play SMU or Rice away from DKR. We don't need to go to Dallas as that's an annual event. The one off with UCLA was because they wanted to play a neutral site in Arlington. I doubt we have any desire to play at JerryWorld ever again outside of the playoff. 

Be careful about certainties, but I think you are correct as long as competence is in favor in the AD. 

I think the 3rd OOC game is just going to be a sign of the times. If hard schedules get rewarded, maybe another P4 is on the roster. Otherwise, I assume it’s just going to be a middling G6 team. Something like Kennesaw State or Kent State is going to be a problem for people. What seems to be misunderstood is that a bowl team like San Jose State hasn’t been roasted as a home field opponent this cycle.

No one complains about last year's Colorado State either, who ended up 8-4 and bowl bound.  Our scheduling since 2022 has been exactly what I think we should aspire for. 

P4 name team (Alabama, Michigan State, Ohio State, upcoming games with ND)
In-state G5 (UTEP, UTSA with some sprinkling of Rice and TXST)
G5 bowl team (Memphis, UNLV, JMU, Georgia Southern type team) or a sucky P4 team (Rutgers, Stanford, Minnesota, etc., but still P4, so we get credit for an 11-game P4 schedule) 

2026 is a double Texas OOC (UTSA/TXST), which I think fans will love

2027 and 2029 have the middling G6 teams you mentioned that fans will kind of hate (LA Tech and ULM)

Next years OOC is going to be fun with all three games at home to start the season.  My youngest will be a Junior at Texas State next fall so it will be house divided for one day and one day only.

If it's a given that we are going to play an in-state G6 opponent each year - and apparently it is - I HATE the 2nd nobody G6 opponent. Please, no La Tech, ULM, New Mexico, etc. Instead, give me a G6 bowl team, upper PAC-12, low level P4.

I agree. The nobody G6 opponent is lame and boring. A G6 bowl team or low level P4 team is more interesting. You get more credit for beating either a bowl eligible G6 team or having 11 P4 games, even if the 11th game is Stanford or Boston College or Cincinnati

I think it depends.  If we are playing Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan types for one of our nonconference games, I do not care if we play UTEP/UTSA/Rice plus another weak g5 team.  Does not matter.

If we are playing ASU, maybe we want to play a lower P4 plus UTEP/UTSA/Rice.

Won’t P4s require a home and home series? I think we will always schedule 1 blue blood P4 and two G5s. 

Yes and that's what we want to happen. That's also why we're not playing Big 12 teams for a while other than the newbies. We don't need to go to Lubbock or Stillwater again for a while. G5s will come to Austin only. Next we'll see if the Big 10 wants to do a scheduling alliance with the SEC which is fine with me as long as we're going west or playing the better opponents like Penn State and Wisconsin. We also haven't really scratched the surface on ACC teams. There's plenty of good options like Clemson who doesn't seem worried about playing a couple of SEC teams every year.
