What do you think of the whole scheme? Any matchups I should change?
As a Penn State fan, I think you've got the right three for them. It sucks to lose annual games with Michigan and Michigan State though. They aren't exactly rivals but we like playing them. Ohio State would be our biggest rival even if it isn't reciprocated. Maryland and Rutgers are both where a ton of alumni go and where we recruit so they are a big priority. Plus there is a lot of history even without a rivalry there.
I fixed PSU.
I would substitute West Virginia in for Notre Dame based on history but Notre Dame would provide the bigger name and match up.
A complete list going beyond 3 would be:
Pitt
SU
ND
WVU
VT
UMD
RU
I think every northeast football fan wishes Penn State, Syracuse, Pitt and WVU were in the same conference and playing every year. They really should find some way to make it a round robin every year even though I know it's impossible.
