Going into this season, here's which P5 teams scored the highest when it comes to drawing viewers (note that BYU, Cincy, UCF, Houston and SMU may be a bit low and likely to move up with P5 affiliation. Similarly, Oregon St and Washington St may drop a bit). The Big 12 teams and scheduled future opponents through 2031 are bolded.

On the one hand, I don't love that we're scheduling against a team like Boston College (#65) or SMU (#76)...but that's kind of the norm for all the teams we're adding.
Oregon St is #52, Cal is #64. Colorado St is #72.
I'd love to see us schedule a home and home against a top 50 V-score school.
