Who is on tap for 2012?--An early look--New Schedule Thread.

This post will be updated as information becomes available. Last updated 11/28/2011.

BYU 2012 Schedule

S1 @Georgia Tech
S8 Hawaii
S15 @ Utah
S22 @ Boise State
S29 Washington State
O6 Utah State
O13 Oregon State
O20 @ Notre Dame
O27 Weber State
N3 Idaho
N10 @ New Mexico State
N17 Open
N24 @ San Jose State

Note of Conflicting Reports: According to Greg Wrubbel at KSL, Hawaii @ BYU will be September 8.  It is assumed that the Weber State at BYU game will therefore be on October 27th, where BYU and Weber both have openings.  Washington State is assumed to be September 29 due to the PAC-12 policy of restricting non-conference games in October and November...yet the Oregon State game is in October.  The last three games of the season come from another source and may change.  FBSchedules.com does not have Washington State, Hawaii, Idaho, @ New Mexico State and @ San Jose State scheduled and has Weber State as September 8th.

Weber State 2012 schedule

Note: The Big Sky Conference has announced the conference schedule through 2015. Even though there are 13 members, there is only one division. For more details, follow this link. Weber State and Southern Utah are designated rivals by the Big Sky Conference and will play each other every season. WSU's other rival is Idaho State and SUU's other rival is Northern Arizona.  According to the Standard Examiner, SUU and Weber State have agreed to play their games at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah; home of Real Salt Lake.  It will be played on a Friday to avoid a potential conflict with the Major League Soccer playoffs.

See note on BYU game above.

Need 1 more non-conference game, likely a home game against an unscheduled BSC opponent that will count as a non conference game for both schools.  Likely foe will be either Portland State or North Dakota.

What to expect:SUU needs 2 more games, one should be a home game and one will be a road game.  One of the games will likely be against a Big Sky foe and will count as a non-conference game for both schools.  That game could be Cal Poly, UC Davis or Idaho State.
