The University posted the long-term outlook for football schedules for the years ahead. Just one warning, which is that oftentimes these don't come to fruition. In fact, many times the contracts are worth nothing. For example, if a really good opportunity popped up for you on September 8, 2018, I wouldn't pass it up because you were afraid to miss the Maryland game.
Having said that, the schedules shows two BCS opponents coming to the Doyt. Indiana in 2013 as part of a home and home and Maryland as part of a 2 for 1.
On another note, BG has a home and home with Texas State, which is, in theory, elevating into the WAC for one season before heading to the Sun Belt. I learned on AZZ.com that former BGSU faculty member Denise Trauth is the President of Texas State. Which is interesting.
Note, as well, that BG will play FCS competiton, probably every year. Note Murray State, VMI, and North Dakota.
I like Tulsa coming here next year, that's a nice opponent for us, even if they aren't a BCS team. And, we put our unbeaten record in West Lafayette to the test on September 26, 2015. Or not.
Anyway, FWIW, here is the upcoming schedule as it stands today.

Hey man - I was happy to find a Bowling Green State University blogger - wondering if you might do a Q&A with me about your spring football practice (and the game - I like to do these with our future opponents - this case, those on the 2012 football schedule). I'm @HokieGuru on Twitter - I can send you the Q&A through Google docs - just follow me on Twitter and I'll send you the details.
