Thoughts:
It should be fun to see the matchup with Georgia in Atlanta and then the two home-and-home games in 2029 and 2030. I’m particularly excited about the prospect of hosting LSU and then going to Baton Rouge for a game in 2026, though that’s still seven years from now.
The Oklahoma series should also be a fun one, though that’s way down the road at this point.
You see a lot of Notre Dame on the non-conference schedule, but it is possible that the Fighting Irish join the ACC at some point and that frees up an extra non-conference game. The ACC could potentially go to nine games in the future, as well, which would mean that the Tigers would only get three non-conference games instead of four.
