Unless something has changed the Big Ten and SEC doesn't count


games against UConn towards the P5 requirement. Honestly that might work towards UConn's favor given the SEC's scheduling philosophy. Instead of a SEC school scheduling to play (FCS school) North South East West State University College (go Fightin' Nematodes) in November, the SEC school could easily schedule to play UConn instead. The school name is TIC, but I think there is/was a DII or DIII school with Nematodes as its nickname.

UConn and UMass could agree to a rivalry series to be played over Thanksgiving weekend. If Thanksgiving weekend isn't open, then they could play it on Conference Championship Weekend. Another possible Thanksgiving weekend opponent for UConn is Hawai'i. Not a bad trip to make Thanksgiving week especially if most seasons this game is UConn's "bowl game." FWIW UMass is scheduled to play at Hawai'i this year Thanksgiving weekend.
