[Husker] divisions leaked

[Mike Jaixen]

You can still schedule 1 home-and-home series each season with a BCS conference foe with the 9 game conference schedule.  You'll have to schedule 2 opponents who won't demand a return trip each season, but Nebraska still can travel to an away non-conference game those years when there are five home conference games (which will be every other year).

Of course, Nebraska might instead to choose to pursue 2-for-1 deals with mid-majors such as Southern Miss, Boise State, and Fresno State to fill the schedule that way.

Personally, I'd rather see Nebraska continue to schedule one marquee top-line BCS foe for each season (Miami-FL, Tennessee, UCLA, and yes Oklahoma).

Colorado has said that they want to keep playing Nebraska, but considering that the Buffs are willing to play road games for money like Sun Belt schools (they're playing at Ohio State next season without a return trip), that could be one of those schedule filler games down the line.

TO commented last night on the BTN that playing other BCS teams probably wouldn't work because they would want a home and home series, TO said the reason it wouldn't work is that Nebraska needs seven home games and with a home and home series they couldn't get to seven home games.
