**Marks an assumed adjustment.

Needs: 2 Road Games
2/3 Home games.
Option to schedule another game due to visiting Hawaii. BYU did not take advantage of this option in 2011.

Bowl Commitment: Kraft Fight Hunger

Commentary: Fans finally getting rewarded for independence. Texas, Boise State, Utah and Georgia Tech at home. My hunch is that you will see San Jose State and Louisiana Tech fill out the home schedule . The road schedule could be filled out with a big "name" school and a weaker opponent like Idaho considering that renovations on the Kibbie Hole, I mean Dome, will be complete and considering Idaho visits Provo in both 2011 and 2012.

Utah 2013 Schedule

A29 Utah State
S7 Open
S14 @BYU
S21 Open
S28 Open
O5 Open
O12 Open
O19 Open

N9 Open
N16 Open
N23 Open
N30 Colorado
D6 PAC 12 Championship

PAC-12 South Division Home Games: Arizona Stat and UCLA
PAC-12 South Division Road Games: Arizona and USC
PAC-12 Other Games: 2 @ Home and 2 on the road
Need: 1 more non-conference game, expect an FCS team at home.

Commentary:

Utah State 2013 Schedule


A29 @ Utah
S7 San Diego State
S14 Open
S21 @ USC
S28 @ UNLV
O4 BYU
O12 Open
O19 Open
O26 Open
N2 Open
N9 Open
N16 Open
N23 Open
N30 Open
D6 Open

Need 1 more home game.
Unscheduled WAC Home Games: Louisiana Tech, UTSA and San Jose State
Unscheduled WAC Road Games: Idaho, Texas State and New Mexico State

Commentary:
There is a lot in the air between now and 2013. The WAC could add at least one more member in 2013 or 2014, but could lose Louisiana Tech to another conference and/or Idaho to FCS relegation due to their poor attendance. If the WAC loses 2, it will stop sponsoring football. The Aggies could get an MWC invite which means that San Diego State and UNLV become conference games.

Weber State 2013 Schedule

A31 Open
S7 Open
S14 Open
S21 Open
S28 Sacramento State
O5 @ Eastern Washington
O12 @ Cal Poly
O19 Montana State
O26 Open
N2 @ Portland State
N9 Southern Utah
N16 @ Montana
N23 Idaho State
N30 FCS Playoffs

Commentary:
The NCAA in 2013 and 2014 is experimenting with beginning the playoffs a week later. They will begin in week 14 instead of week 13. This gives the FCS schools additional flexibility in scheduling. Perhaps WSU can get a week between their body bag games to rest up.

SUU 2013 Schedule

A31 Open
S7 Open
S14 Open
S21 Open
S28 @ Northern Colorado
O5 UC Davis
O12 Portland State
O19 @ Eastern Washington
O26 Idaho State
N2 Open
N9 @ Weber State
N16 @ Montana State
N23 Northern Arizona
N30 FCS Playoffs

Commentary:
Again, I am pleased that the playoffs are a week later. Should be easier to get some good teams scheduled.
