It's not as pressing a national issue as border security, health care or the minimum wage, but the progress being made by power-conference schools to beef up their schedules with home-and-home series is a very positive sign.
The 2015 season includes either the front or back end of some great home-and-homes, including Michigan State-Oregon, Notre Dame-Texas and Oklahoma-Tennessee, and even more come on the books in 2016 such as Auburn-Clemson, Nebraska-Oregon, Ohio State-Oklahoma and Texas A&M-UCLA. Other good ones are on the books over the next decade, mostly due to the top leagues either mandating or strongly encouraging their members play another power opponent.
