2024 Rice Football Schedule Announced

February 29, 2024 By Matthew Bartlett

The 2024 Rice Football schedule was released by the American Conference on Thursday, including a full 12-game slate.

Opponents have been known for some time, but now we have dates. All of a sudden the 2024 Rice football season is starting to take shape following an announcement by the conference office on Thursday that laid out the full slate of games the Owls will undertake this fall.

The AAC released this statement concurrently with the schedule:

The nonconference portion of the schedule features 10 games against teams ranked in the top 25 of the final Associated Press poll of 2023, including seven games against top-15 teams. American Athletic Conference teams will face No. 3 Texas, No. 5 Alabama, No. 6 Florida State, No. 14 Notre Dame (two games), No. 15 Oklahoma (two games), No. 16 Oklahoma State, No. 18 Kansas State and No. 25 Liberty in nonconference play.

Teams from The American will play 11 nonconference games against opponents from the Sun Belt, six against Conference USA, five against the SEC, four each against the Big 12 and Mountain West, three against the ACC and two against the Big Ten. American teams will additionally play six games against FBS independents, including two against Notre Dame.
