[QUOTE="K Otto XLIV, post: 1496866"]
I would like to play all those teams but we don't have much connection to any of them. Since 1918 we have played Michigan twice. We have only played Texas 3x one of which was the 1960 Cotton Bowl. Same with Auburn but their Bowl was the '88 Sugar. We played UCLA throughout the '60s but have not played them since.

If I can count right here are our the P5 teams we played the most in the Carrier Dome era:

33x RU & WV
14x Penn State
12x MD (including 2019)
7x Northwestern
5x Minny
4x Illinois & Ohio State

Which is such a small number of teams number given the 43 season time frame (assuming we don't add another P5 to future schedules).

If you want recent history it should be RU & WV (although WV will be very difficult to get on the schedule). If you want pre Big East history than it should be Penn State & MD (although MD will be difficult to get on the schedule). If you want someone else then it should be Northwestern. Outside of the Northeastern schools I wouldn't mind playing Northwestern on a yearly basis. Similar schools and they are in a major city.
