Ducks Replaced With Huskies

Oregon delayed coming back to the big house for a couple years making room for Michigan to schedule a game against Northern Illinois. The non-conference schedule is now Northern Illinois, Notre Dame, Eastern Michigan.

I was a little disappointed to see such a weak team take the spot. I would have liked to have seen a much better school play Michigan, and test them. Why don't they go for broke and schedule someone like Auburn to come in? I realize we're in the BCS era, but if you believe in your football team, then challenge them one game.

I am atleast glad to see Notre Dame is still on the schedule. Even not as good as they were years ago, they are still a tough team, especially at home. One bright spot in the pre-conference schedule.

Agree? Disagree? Other ideas?
