I hope it's somebody from the Big 10, preferably not Michigan.

We'll see fairly early whether Ohio State will have what it takes. I think they play Texas early in the season next year. It's either Texas or Oklahoma, but I'm pretty sure it was Texas.

Speaking of Texas, and I'm not a big UT fan, the Rose bowl may be the game that gets them over the hump. They've had a good team for a while, but keep "losing the big one". The Michigan win may get that monkey off their back. We'll see.

Texas definitely plays Ohio State early in the season. I'm positive that they signed up for a two-year home and home series because I was ragging a UT alum at the office about his team always scheduling North Texas State.

We looked up future schedules, and Ohio State is either their second or third game next year.

For UT to truly get over the hump, they have to beat Oklahoma. Maybe they can do it next year. I'm not terribly confident because it seems to be such mental block. They automatically choke. It's one of the strangest things I've observed in college football.
