I count three inaccuracies in this sentence:

"The 130th Big Game will also take place at Stanford Stadium, with the Cardinal looking for consecutive home Big Game wins for the first time since 2011-17, when Stanford won four straight."

Conference schedule favorable for a bowl game if we are improved by 2027.

I think KartyFan missed the "home" in the sentence above

Not a bad home schedule.  While we can't predict how all of the teams will be next year, all of those are historically not unbeatable.  Not going to guarantee us 5 wins or anything, of course, but SMU, FSU, and Clemson away all seem much harder, so better to have the home advantage against more beatable teams?

What’s our one other OOC game, Hawaii? Elon?
Looks not as tough as this year but still pretty tough schedule.

Good question. As lsju82 noted, we are currently at 7 home games, 4 away. Maybe we could convince a Cal State school (Fresno, Sacramento, San Diego, San Jose) to come to Stanford Stadium in 2027?

Hawaii is scheduled for 2030 already. I think it’s extremely unlikely they will make another visit before then.

Home and away with Hawai'i forever sounds amazing for those alumni road game trips :)

Would be great to start scheduling former Pac-12 opponents. I see USC has an open schedule spot. Would make for a tough schedule with 12 P4 schools.

I would only be happy to play SC in football for a 50 million dollar stipend.  Other than that, screw those greedy jerks.

Cheers,

Out of Conf?  
Here are the FBS Rankings with Football teams ranked ACADEMICALLY.  
#1 Stanford; #2 Duke & Northwestern.  #5 Vanderbilt.  Domers are in the Top Ten.

Let's get VANDY.  Decent TV ratings; SEC payout.  Could help national recruiting in that region.  
Gives us an annual benchmark against SEC foes they play.
