Though we’re still waiting to see how and when the newfound love affair between the Big Ten, ACC, and Pac-12 will shake out with scheduling, you will no doubt start to see the teams from each conference schedule each other more in both football and basketball.
It’s going to take a while before we really see a ton of games between the trio in football because what’s already contractually obligated years out will still need to run its course. Still, there will be games more often between these 41 institutions of academic learning and feats of athletic endeavors. You can bank on it.
It got us thinking. Who would Ohio State fans love to see the Buckeyes play in football from the ACC and Pac-12. Obviously, the Big Ten and Pac-12 have a history in the Rose Bowl, so there have been more matchups there, but there are still quite a few teams in both leagues that we don’t get to see very often go toe-to-toe with OSU.
So here are ten teams that I’d love to see, and maybe you would too, taking into account recent history, success, travel, and more.
