BYU’s era of independence opened up the Cougars to a whole new world of opportunities, one of them being scheduling. The Cougars have played in a host of scenic and notable venues, including some NFL coliseums. They also have been able to test themselves against some of the best programs college football has to offer. Just in the last three seasons, BYU has played the likes of UCF, Navy, Houston, Tennessee, USC, Washington and Wisconsin.
However, there are several FBS programs BYU has yet to play on the gridiron, over 30 in fact. The Cougars do have a few on the schedule in the coming years such as Arkansas, Georgia Southern, NC State, Minnesota, Army and Virginia Tech.
