Potential BCS/quality opponent for next season?

According to Basketball Travelers, Inc., the Gophers (contact: Joe Esposito) are looking for a BCS home & home series starting on the road in the 2010-11 season. So I took it a but further, looked for other BCS (or notable non-Big 6) schools who would appear to match the Gophers' scheduling needs, or close to it.

Here are some of the BCS/notable schools needing to fill a slot on their schedule next season.

Arizona State: Looking for home & home series. Can start on the road.

Arkansas (Part I): Needs to start a home & home series in Fayetteville on Dec. 7 or Jan. 1.

Arkansas (Part II): Looking for someone to play in Little Rock on Dec. 28. Willing to discuss return game at a neutral site.

Auburn: Looking for BCS home & home series starting on the road on Nov. 26-27.

Colorado: Looking for home & home series starting in Boulder on Jan. 1-3.

Dayton: Looking for home & home series with BCS school. Willing to start series on the road.

Georgia: Looking for 4-year BCS home & home series.

Kansas State: Looking for BCS home & home series starting in Manhattan on Nov. 26-27.

Louisville: Needs high major to open new arena. Will do home & home series but can only return game in 2012-13. Could do neutral site return in 2011-12.

Marquette: Looking for BCS home & home series. Could start at home or on road.

Ole Miss: Looking for BCS home & home series. Available dates are Nov. 24 and Dec. 15.

Seton Hall: Looking for BCS home & home series starting in New Jersey.

USC: Looking for BCS home & home series starting in Los Angeles on Dec. 8-12, Dec. 14-15 or Jan. 8-9.

Xavier: Looking to start a high major series on the road. Game would need to be in January or February. We could call this one the Mack/Souhan Classic, but I doubt we'll schedule a second A-10 opponent.

**If Gophers are truly looking to start a BCS home & home series on the road, K-State, Marquette, Ole Miss or USC would be my preference.

Unavailable dates on Gophers' 2010-11 schedule:
Nov. 12-13: Wofford at home
Nov. 15: Siena at home
Nov. 18-21: Puerto Rico Tip-Off
Nov. 29-Dec. 1: ACC opponent
Dec. 16-22: fall-term finals

LOL!! This looks like the Craigs List for college basketball

So our team is going to show up for a game and find out it was just a creepy old man?

If we could play at ASU around Christmastime, that would be convenient..... the football team will be in Tempe then anyway (if we're lucky).

Maybe we should take Wisconsin with us to just be safe..

Kansas State would be a fun matchup to make a yearly thing. Really any match up with a major conference school annually would be fun.
