Finally, the schedule starts to get easy now, or so it seems. With the NCAA rule that allows a team to play 13 regular season games if they travel to Hawaii, I fully expect the Cougars to take advantage of that.

The Cougars would have to honor the Rice game, and it would be a good time to bring Utah State back as a regular, although not yearly rival. While Minnesota is a game I would love to see, since the game in Minnesota got canceled due to Covid, the Gophers likely wouldn’t mind cancelling this game. Virginia would also likely have to be cancelled, but since both teams played a home and home, the Cavalier may agree to drop the rest of the series.  That means that the rest of the schedule would be played as is with Utah being the season finale, just as it should be.
