The season started with a wallop. They had to travel to Oregon. To Texas Tech. To Boise State. In all, the Nevada Wolf Pack had four straight road games to open the season, two against teams ranked in the Top 5. With a new starting quarterback to boot. You can probably see where this is going. Nevada opened the season 1-3 and ended up with a little quarterback quandry on its hands. Tyler Lantrip, who took over for all-everything Colin Kaepernick, was playing inconsistent.

The SEC catches some serious grief from other conferences for not playing more high-profile nonconference games. My feeling is that everybody should play at least one marquee nonconference game every season, but there’s also no reason to load up when you have to navigate the grind of the league schedule. As a rule, the SEC schools have made more of an effort the past few years to go out and play at least one nonconference game that qualifies as a main event. There are several in the first three weeks this season: LSU vs. Oregon, Georgia vs. Boise State, BYU at Ole Miss and Auburn at Clemson. Arkansas takes on Texas A&M the first week of October, and then there are the annual rivalry games at the end of the season: Clemson at South Carolina, Florida State at Florida and Georgia at Georgia Tech. Here’s how we would rank the SEC’s nonconference schedules in 2011 from toughest to easiest: 1. LSU: Sept 3 – Oregon in Arlington, Texas; Sept. 10 – Northwestern State; Sept. 24 – at West Virginia; Nov. 12 – Western Kentucky 2. Georgia: Sept. 3 – Boise State in Atlanta; Sept. 17 – Coastal Carolina; Nov. 5 – New Mexico State; Nov. 26 – at Georgia Tech 3. Arkansas: Sept. 3 – Missouri State; Sept. 10 – New Mexico in Little Rock; Sept. 17 – Troy; Oct. 1 – Texas A&M in Arlington, Texas 4. Ole Miss: Sept. 3 – Brigham Young; Sept. 10 – Southern Illinois; Oct.

Ranking the SEC’s nonconference slates

The Big 12 will look quite a bit different this season. Nebraska and Colorado have said their goodbyes, and with that, came worry. Nebraska’s departure meant the league was down a national brand and without an elite counterpart to the two powerhouses in the southern half of the league. Texas and Oklahoma have dominated the league, winning 10 of 15 Big 12 titles and representing the Big 12 South in all but two of the championship games in conference history. Without Nebraska, could the league be reduced to one nationally relevant game a season? What would be left after Texas and Oklahoma clashed at the State Fair of Texas? Texas could have made it worse with its historically bad 5-7 season in 2010, its first losing season since 1997. But the Longhorns’ fall came in contrast to a rise of other teams in the league, which produced five team ranked in the final top 25 in 2010. The Longhorns might take a while to get back, but even with one of the best programs in the league down, the Big 12 could be as good as ever in 2011. Oklahoma is likely to open the season atop the polls as one of the favorites to win the national title. Oklahoma State and Texas A&M should be in the top 15 and return two of the best offenses in the country
