There are some cool match ups in there: getting tOSU and washington at home is nice. I admit I'm still bummed about the PAC, but I'll get over that.

1) About what I expected...half the games I have no interest in.
2) Disappointed USC, UCLA and Washington are not on the schedule every year but with 18 teams it probably won't work.
3) A key issue with road games is weather / what month? Playing at Wisconsin in September vs November as one example, is very different temperature-wise.

It's just so weird.
I mean, some great games for sure, but it's disorienting, Not playing in the state of California every year is not good for Oregon imo..
Hope we have a good QB next year!

To me the MSU and Ohio State doesn't seem that weird since we've played them recently. On the other hand hosting Maryland? Something doesn't seem right with that.
Overall the talent level seems like it's relatively spread out.
In 2025 you get Rutgers and Northwestern, which should be easy games. Indiana I don't think is that great either.
It will take some getting used to. I'm totally in on playing the likes of Michigan and the Buckeyes.
Was Stanford last week a game anyone was excited to watch? Not me, I won't be missing those games at least.

Upon further review...
1) No surprise Washington is Oregon's new rivalry game even though it sort of is right now. They are on the schedule every year...but I was hoping USC and UCLA would be as well since there are a couple of years Oregon will have no game in California. Impact on recruiting?
2) The BIG wasted no time putting Oregon to the test with games next year hosting the luckeyes and at Michigan.
3) As one of my friends noted, "Looks like no more road trips to games now(except Seattle every other year and sometimes Los Angeles)." 🥴
4) I do believe the 4 Pac-12 schools are going to change the current annual snooze fest of waiting for the Michigan vs luckeyes game to determine everything relevant to the BIG. I won't predict winning the Conference outright but at the very least those 4 teams are going to be disruptors. The BIG to me, right now, is by far the most boring Power 5 Conference to watch football.
5) Speaking of, two benefits are no more Pac-12 Network or Pac-12 officials 🥳 Yet I wonder how long it will take USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon fans to start complaining about BIG officiating? 🤔😉
