Future skeds
UCLA has most of its scheduling done through 2013, and the only game I had not previously heard about (nor has been reported) was the 2011 matchup against San Jose State.
UCLA needs to add one game in 2010, one game is 2011, one game in 2012 and two games in 2013.
So below I put up a copy of the schedules, with tentative dates, through 2013.

Why so many Big 12 teams? Personally, I thought there was an Adidas thing going on. After all we did play ND and Tennessee this year. I was hoping to see Michigan (a new Adidas school) on the future skeds...
I don't think it's a good idea to take on a Big Ten school. USC put Ohio State on their schedule because they always want to face the best but it's going to bite them in the ass this year as there's a real strong chance they'll face each other in the Rose Bowl (no QB and go-to receiver will give them a loss or two this year).
I understand that the Trojans have set their sights on the BCS Championship game but UCLA needs to take baby steps and should set winning the Pac-10 as our goal. That means facing the Big Ten in the Granddaddy of them all.
Do schools really set games according to endorsement affiliations? I've never noticed.
