Did you see UCLA dropped games with Georgia in 2025, 2026 and Auburn in 2027, 2028? They have added games with Cal and Utah. This is the new reality of college football as teams start dropping tough non-conference games. Lincoln Riley would be proud.

Shortly after Lincoln Riley got hired, the athletic dept. planned a nation-wide tour where the new coach would meet alumni, boosters and fans. Then they told Riley about it.
