Wish it were true about VT, but no go.
Is VT back on the schedule? I know they talked about a "one off" game with PSU after the H/H was cancelled, but did not see anyting confirming same.
The only ones that seem interesting on that list besides the upcoming opponents (mainly VT and Marshall out of that group) are the ones from Power 5 schools and Boise St.
A mid-November game at Hawaii might be nice. Swap out UMass, maybe?! - Hawaii here that year, at Hawaii in a later season? Great tune-up for the Rutgres-Mich. State home stretch.
I don't see Boise as being that attractive of an opponent - they are not what they were under Harsin on Petersen (although they could still be good).

I know the Ivy League isn't FBS level. But they must really be powerhouses. I see PSU is 0-5 vs Princeton and 0-7 vs Yale.
Playing at Hawaii allows for an extra game too…I’ve been a proponent of a home and home with Hawaii for a while.
and 0-2 against Columbia, 0-3-2 against Harvard, 1-2 against Dartmouth, and a few wins (but losing records) against Cornell and Penn.
PSU vs Prcinetson. We have never scored against them. Ever.

Look at all of these Wednesday games…when are we going to put the “student” back into Student Athlete and get these kids into class?
well a few things, while Marshall is on future PSU schedules, which I believe will change, they are no longer in cUSA, they are now in the SunBelt. And yes they have played. PSU and MU have played in the past as noted in @PSU73 note, as recently as 1929, which I am surprised you dont remember that game!! LOL
The offense was sluggish that day It was crazy on the boards.
Back in the day The iveys and Army and Navy were the power house programs , They started it
All those games AT Princeton. They (and Pitt) owe the Lions some games at the BeavePSU vs Prcinetson. We have never scored against them. Ever.

I’ve seen this site before. Going from memory, I don’t believe the record shown vs. Pitt is correct. I’ll verify later.Here's a more current source.

The last time PSU played Princeton, the Tigers won 26-0. We owe them big time. It was 122 years ago but I'm still bitter. Revenge served cold and all that. And all five games were played at Princeton. We deserve a return trip.
If Notre Dame didn't play a cherry-picked cupcake schedule, with two of the Service Academies, and if they played a conference championship game, they wouldn't have even sniffed the playoffs. Although....it sure was fun to watch them get get curb-stomped by real football teams.
Didn't one of their playoff appearances come after playing in a conference championship game?

I'm probably about as big a Notre Dame hater as there is - not as much as when we were both independents, mind you, but even I'll admit that Notre Dame is at a disadvantage relative to the top teams since they don't have the admissions leeway they used to have. It will be interesting to see what happens with Brian Kelly at LSU. He's kind of a jerk and has trouble taking responsibility for his failures, but I think he's a pretty good coach (football-wise, not necessarily as a molder of men) and reached his ceiling there under the current administration. If LSU gets to the playoff and gets curb-stomped then it will all be on Kelly. If Notre Dame makes the playoff under the new guy and manages to not get embarrassed that will also be on Kelly. I expect Notre Dame to fall back to what they were before Kelly arrived and LSU to be in the SEC hunt soon.
