West Virginia is a nice change and someone we have not played much if at all. I would not mind seeing the other teams mentioned as well. Nebraska would make for a nice traditional match up.

I am surprise no one said auburn..
I have been wanting them in our first 5 games of the season for the longest time.
With all the bad water under the bridge and animosity between the 2 schools, an early game would negate and alleviate the heated rivalry. Not too mention, playing them early makes auburn irrelevant since they need Alabama at the end of the season and the Iron Bowl to be so!!

Since I live in Dallas, TX, I want TCU, Texas Tech, North Texas, Baylor, Texas A&M, Rice, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, or anywhere within a 6 hour drive.

I want Oklahoma bad, but I want them in the playoffs. Let's have every eye on an epic beating.

North Carolina, because I love close to Chapel Hill :). If not UNC, I would agree with the Barn. Get that game over with early, and if they did luck up, then it would not be as big of a blow than at the end of the year.

The last team that won against Bama. Because I don't believe any team can do it twice in a row.

Roll Tide!

I want Nebraska or Arizona state home and home, but I have to admit the line up starting this week thru 2016 actually is great for me.

Let's see, we're talking about breaking in a new starter at quarterback. Beyond that, we need both to see enough playing time for the coaches to get a decent evaluation. I don't see why anyone would want that to occur in a difficult game.

How about Maryland? They reach a big market, and they play in the Big 10. I think everyone needs to be periodically reminded how much most of the teams in that conference suck.
