    College football road trip

    Let's say money wasn't an issue and you had an entire fall to do a college football road trip of your choice, which stadiums would be on your list?

    For me I would take an RV and start off at either the Cowboys Classic or chick fil a classic and then in no particular order I would want to visit

    Ohio St
    Wisconsin
    Penn St
    Washington
    Oregon
    Texas vs OU
    Notes Dame
    Michigan
    Mt Union
    Nebraska
    Ole Miss
    Iron Bowl
    Sec championship game
    Army/Navy

    Then the Rose bowl

    What about yall?

    I like this idea, but I think we should do a trip based on this year's schedule.

      I like that idea pied. I'll add to it later when I get home from work

        Pied, would you like to include Thursday games in this?

        Since money or time is not a factor in this I think we should

            Let's do this based on this years schedule

            On that first Thursday night we have Michigan at Utah or TCU at Minnesota?

            I would vote the TCU at Minnesota game

              I'm in but it's going to take me a bit of time. Cost will not be a hindrance but want to make it somewhat realistic, i.e. not going to do a Hawaii and Miami the next day. Not going to give a lot away but think I'll spend the first part in the NW.

                So on Thursday night one would be able to do either TCU at Minnesots or take in Harbough and Michigan at Utah. Drive all day Friday to arrive in Dallas for Alabama vs Wisconsin and then head east to Virginia for Ohio State at Va Tech on Monday night?

                    For the first week and maybe last week we should do that since it will be multiple games in a short window. Would you want to take the Citation or Gulf Stream?

                      OK, I think this schedule works. Plus is that I go to some AMAZING games/locations. Bad thing is, there are some clunkers in those locations. I struggled with 9/26 and couldn't figure out anything geographically that made much sense, but the Sun Bowl is super cool. A couple of those I left on there struck through(didn't come through, so I put them in <<<<brackets>>>>). In one case it was head one direction or the other, the other was kind of a toss up game.

                      Would like to fit a game at West Point on there, but don't see how that really works as part of a year long road trip. Like to see a game at Neyland, and Clemson but hey that's what next year is for.

                      Tell me what you think and poke holes.

                        That would make for some great trips. I like how you kept it regional for the most part of the season. Going from the west to middle to southeast back to Midwest.
                        Would you ever have any desire in seeing a 1-AA or D-2-3 type of game?

                          I would certainly, but was working off the D1 schedule on ESPN. I really want to get to a home Army game, and perhaps another smaller school in the NE in the fall.

                          Looking at my list, although the matchups may not epic this year I think I have a great cross between all time rivalries, great stadiums and some places I'd want to see.

                          All Time Rivalries
                          Army-Navy
                          Texas-ou
                          Georgia-Florida
                          Michigan-tOSU

                          Great Stadiums
                          Autzen - Oregon
                          The Coliseum
                          Tiger Stadium - LSU
                          Bryant Denny - Alabama
                          Notre Dame
                          Beaver Stadium - Penn State
                          Camp Randall - Wisconsin
                          Memorial Stadium - Nebraska
                          The Big House - Michigan

                          Places I want to see
                          Rice-Eccles - Utah
                          Boise St
                          LaVell Edwards - BYU
                          Sun Bowl - UTEP
                          Folsom Field - Colorado

                              Hard to be everywhere. Starting in the middle/East makes a lot of that difficult. Let's see your effort!
