(Author's note: No, this list isn't supposed to be taken seriously. This is supposed to be a fun look at weird games on the College Football schedule. Yes, Ohio State vs Notre Dame and Alabama vs Texas are more interesting. Those games will be written about a lot this year)
Honorable Mention – Kent State at Washington, Georgia & Oklahoma, home vs LIU
Is Kent State's athletic director really into BDSM or something? Smaller Group of Five teams play tough non-conference schedules often and MAC teams in general are no strangers to taking multiple paydays a season to catch a beating, but this seems unnecessarily cruel. Three trips in three different time zones, one game against the defending national champions, one game against the best program in the Big 12 for a decade running and a long trip to Washington who was still actually good when this game was scheduled which makes it worse. The LIU game is extremely funny to me also. Is it supposed to be a peace offering for getting your brains beat in week after week?
