Seems like a good time for a schedule update. I have:
11/4 Utah Tech
11/8 Weber State
11/15 Cal State Fullerton
11/21 Oregon
11/25 @ North Texas
11/30 Davis
12/7 Idaho
12/14 UC Irvine
12/17 Sacramento State
12/22 vs. Charletson (Honolulu)
12/23 vs Loyola-Chicago/Oakland (Honolulu)
12/25 vs Charlotte/Hawai'i/Murray State/Nebraska (Honolulu)
12/30 Portland
1/2 @ Loyola Marymount
1/4 San Diego
1/9 @ Santa Clara
1/11 @ Pacific
1/16 Gonzaga
1/18 @ San Francisco
1/23 Pepperdine
1/25 Santa Clara
1/28 @ Gonzaga
2/6 Wazzu
2/8 Saint Mary's
2/13 @ Portland
2/15 Pacific
2/20 @ Pepperdine
2/22 @ San Diego
2/27 San Francisco
3/1 @ Saint Mary's
Unless I miscount, 30 of 31 games have been filled. Who is the final game against? I believe that all 10 former Pac-12 teams have already filled out their schedules. Among the most obvious teams to play, I note that future Pac-12 Conference member, San Diego State, has an opening. Can Oregon State and San Diego State get together to get a game scheduled this season?

Maybe they can get a game scheduled between those 2? |

Somebody at the Big Ten must not like Oregon. What a bunch of garbage teams they get at the TTATT, Maryland, Purdue, Northwestern, Nebraska, Rutgers, Indiana? And lots of crappy road trips, highlighted by a one-off to Minnesota in January. Oh, please be 20 below.
At least they still get UCLA, Washington and USC home-and-home.

Idaho State needs a game. Cal State Northridge needs a game. A couple of WAC teams need a game. If you are looking for someone local for that hole in January/February, Cal Baptist and and Seattle both like they can add a game there. |

You did not mention Illinois. Defending Big Ten Regular Season Champion Purdue. Defending Big Ten Tournament Champion Illinois. Nebraska finished third. Northwestern fourth. Indiana sixth. The road trips are generally awful. That is true. But it is the Big Ten and the road trips are almost always going to be awful. That is a real boom and bust schedule. You get the best teams at TTATT. You get the worst teams at their place. Win 'em all or lose 'em all. |

And lots of crappy road trips, highlighted by a one-off to Minnesota in January. Oh, please be 20 below. At least they still get UCLA, Washington and USC home-and-home. That’s the problem with these large conferences now and the uneven scheduling. No one is happy. I will say that several of the teams you’ve labeled as crappy likely won’t be so. Northwestern certainly has strong likelihood of “crappiness.” Not so sure about MD or Nebraska, though certainly don’t expect them to be near the top of standings. Purdue obviously loss Edey, so they likely will not be powerhouse like last year. But they have talent returning and Painter rarely has a crappy season. Rutger has 2 top 10 recruits coming in and some nice transfers from smaller schools. Not expecting them to be crappy at all, and if that game is later in season I could definitely see Oregon in jeopardy of a loss. Indiana has a transfer class coming in that might be so good even Woodson can’t screw it up. Though he did forget to recruit some shooters. I don’t love the Illini’s conference schedule, though overall not too bad. Biggest issue is some of the teams we only have once (Iowa being most notable, but they’re likely crappy). Lot of fans seem to be excited about Oregon and Wash on the road. Might be a nice sprinkling of orange in the stands for those games. |

No, I didn't mention the Illini, because they are decent.
How good do you think Purdue will be this year, after losing the best big man in the country, the guy who carried them the last four years? No matter how good they might have been last year - history says it was a fluke - who circles Northwestern or Nebraska on their calendar as a "must-see" game? Nobody.
Indiana has the name but hasn't been elite for years. Maryland and Rutgers are the Big Ten's loss leaders, designated Homecoming opponents, still outliers after a decade in the league. It doesn't matter how good they are, for fans they are a crappy draw.
No Michigan. No Michigan State. No Iowa. No Ohio State. The truly big names of Big Ten basketball.
Were I a Duck fan, I would not be pleased. But I'm not, so I'm glad their schedule is rather unattractive and there probably will be thousands of empty seats at the TTATT.
Obviously your mileage varies.
PS: A mid-January road trip to Minnesota isn't awful of you're coming from Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin. It is if you're coming from Oregon. I hope its 20-frigging below in Minneapolis.

I also don't think the games with UCLA, USC and UW will pack the same punch. Yes, they will still be conference games, but they won't be fighting for the Pac-12 title. They'll be playing for fourth or fifth place in an 18-team league.

I agree the conference move was bad for fans, and it will certainly take time for new rivalries to develop — if they do at all. And I do think attendance might be down for Ducks unless they’ve been routinely selling out their games in the past. But from a pure basketball quality perspective, Oregon’s home conference schedule for the coming season is as good or better than last year’s. From a strictly basketball perspective what P4 schools circle Oregon State (except a rivalry team), Cal, Stanford, Colorado, WSU, Wash or ASU on the schedule as must see?
Rutgers has been in tourney 2 of last 3 years, and as I said earlier have a great class coming in. Maryland has been in 6 out of last 8 tournaments. Indiana hasn’t been strong for awhile (as an Illini fan I love to see it), but they’re on par with the middling schools in old Pac 12.
Purdue won’t be nearly as good as last year, but they’re not going to fall off the face of the earth. I don’t look at the the much too early rankings usually (or even the first month of polls) but looked at the first two that popped up when I Googled subject — ESPN (30 teams) and NCAA.com (36 teams). Some of those discussed: Purdue (#16 ESPN, #13 NCAA), Indiana (18, NR), UCLA (24, 29), Rutgers (25, 36), Maryland (30, NR), Illinois (NR, 15), Nebraska (NR, 32). Oregon by the way came in at 28 and 26.
As for the teams you mentioned they didn’t get at home, we are talking bball and not football right)? MSU will be good (NR, 25) and maybe underrated right now. Iowa is going to be bad. I don’t think Michigan will be better than just decent. Ohio State could be pretty good. So MSU is the only real loss not having them at home.
It will be interesting to see how UO’s home conference attendance is impacted by the move with far fewer geographic and familiar opponents. Will some hard fouls against their team and close losses be the start of some new rivalries? Who knows. But I think the home schedule they have will give the fans a good taste of what the BIG is about.

"From a strictly basketball perspective what P4 schools circle Oregon State (except a rivalry team), Cal, Stanford, Colorado, WSU, Wash or ASU"
We are not talking about any random P4 team. We are talking specifically about Oregon.
Oregon had a 100+-year rivalry with these schools (except Colorado and ASU). Conference games, no matter the opponent, were always much anticipated, in large part because of the long history with the opponent.
I can't see that happening this year with Rutgers et all. In fact there probably will be more Nebraska fans at TTATT than Duck fans when they play, considering how many Husker fans there seem to be in every corner of the country because they all GTFO of Nebraska ASAP.
Let's switch it around, and say Illinois had somehow joined the Pac-12. Do you think fans there would be excited about playing Pac-12 teams instead of their traditional Big Ten rivals? Of course they wouldn't.
Maybe I'll be proven wrong, lord knows it has happened enough times in my long lifetime. But I just can't see very many people in Eugene being excited to play Rutgers on a Sunday or Northwestern or Indiana on a Tuesday night, much less fans from the Portland area who have to invest 4 hours of driving.
Maybe the basketball will be better; that's certainly debatable. Except for Purdue last year and UCLA in 2021, neither league has especially played well in the NCAA tournament of late, outside of the Pac-12's stellar performance in 2021. And even Purdue's performance last year can't make up for the turds it dropped against St. Peter's and FDU; they're the Big Ten equivalent of perennially underachieving Arizona.
I should be asking myself, why am I wasting this much time on UO basketball? I hope they suck.
