LOUISVILLE (OR CINCINNATI) -- The Cardinals have room on the schedule and might even agree to a two-for-one deal, in which they make two trips to the Big House for one visit to Papa John's Cardinal Stadium by the Wolverines. How about this: Michigan and Louisville at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati? If nothing else, it might tick off Ohio State fans, and doesn't that alone make it worth it for Michigan? Striking a similar deal with Cincinnati makes sense, too, but the Bearcats are booked up for 2015.

OREGON -- The Ducks probably couldn't do all three games with the Wolverines. In 2015, they already have a game at Michigan State, and it's doubtful they would want to play both schools in the same year. And remember, Pac-12 teams play nine conference games so they have less room with which to work. But 2016 and '17 are wide open. The teams played a home-and-home in 2003 and '07.

OKLAHOMA STATE -- Oklahoma and Texas are booked up, but billionaire booster and Oklahoma State alum Boone Pickens is on record as wanting the Cowboys to step-up the nonconference schedule. If Michigan is willing to take a trip to Stillwater, the third game could be in Arlington.
