I've always loved San Jose State as our FBS game. I know, its not sexy......but it pays a little, its close for fans and travel.....and we've beaten them a couple times- its always a good game.
I think they don't need to play California every season but it is nice to play them maybe once or twice a decade. Good for Bay recruiting and alumni connections. Though as a fan of both I don't enjoy the games.
I like that they are playing UCLA. I really hope the Ags are still in FCS in 2028 so we can see them live against WSU. Though WSU is poor so I doubt that they would cancel and playing a CA team at their home is good for recruiting.
I'm kind of over seeing them at Idaho especially if Idaho sucks this year but I have circled the WSU match up especially since my son can cheer against me if he wants. Everyone im our county loves the Cougars. He's in a phase where he cheers against whatever local team is playing lol. He was saying "Boo Cougars go Huskies!"
