Irish heritage
•Oklahoma and Notre Dame have met nine times, with the Irish winning eight of the matchups.
With more games on the horizon for 2012 and 2013, a look at the series:
1999: Notre Dame 34, No. 23 OU 30 (South Bend)
•Oklahoma's future non-conference schedules are littered with premium opponents.
There's an effort to add at least one more: Ohio State.
OU and Ohio State are in discussion about a possible home-and-home series for the years 2016 and 2017.
The Sooners are scheduled to face a high-profile squad in every season through 2019, with the exception of 2016 and 2017. Adding the Buckeyes would give OU a lineup of foes that includes Miami, Washington, Notre Dame, Florida State, Tennessee and LSU.
The lineup:
2007: Miami
2008: at Washington
2009: at Miami
2010: Florida State
2011: at Florida State
2012: Notre Dame
2013: at Notre Dame
2014: Tennessee
2015: at Tennessee
2016: Ohio State - TBA
2017: Ohio State - TBA
2018: LSU
2019: LSU
