2025 Rice Football Schedule Announced

February 28, 2025 By Matthew Bartlett

The 2025 Rice Football schedule was released by the American Conference on Friday, including a full 12-game slate.

Opponents have been known for some time, but now we have dates. All of a sudden the 2025 Rice football season is starting to take shape following an announcement by the conference office on Friday 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 seven games against teams ranked in the top 25 of the final Associated Press poll of 2024, including four games against teams that reached the College Football Playoff.

Teams from The American will play eight nonconference games against opponents from the Sun Belt, seven against the SEC, five against the ACC, four each against the Big 12 and Mountain West, three against the MAC and two each against the Big Ten and Conference USA. American teams will additionally face Notre Dame, Washington State and Oregon State among others.

So, here it is, the 2025 Rice Football schedule:

2023 Rice Football Opponent Look Ahead

September 14, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

After the big win, Rice football is riding high. Here’s a look ahead at how the Owls’ schedule looks after a few weeks of play.

Entering the 2023 Rice football season, getting to 1-1 after the first two Power 5 challenges was a strong opening stanza. In fact, the Owls are one of 10 FBS teams to play Power 5 opponents in each of the first two weeks of the season. Of that 10, Colorado and Utah went 2-0. Rice was 1-1. The other seven went 0-2.
