A one-off every 5 years or so is ok, but there is something special about Oregon vs MSU at Autzen compared to say at Levi's Stadium.
I would be down with a neutral site game.
'Neutral' meaning in Atlanta though.
I think it would be cool to play them closer to us, in the Rose Bowl.
I know this is a little ridiculous, but instead of a home and home could we play at two different neutral sites in 18/19?
I don't really know the precedents for scheduling, but that would be pretty cool. A game in Dallas and at the Rose Bowl.

Oregon already has Ohio State scheduled for the 2020 and 2021 seasons. There just aren't many big-time programs with open slates in 2018 and 2019 since like Oregon, they had scheduled well in advance.
Some interesting options, based on what is already on the schedule:
Texas Tech 2018
09/15 - Houston 2019
TBA
Baylor (this is ridiculously weak…adding Oregon here would help them greatly) 2018
09/08 - at UTSA
09/15 - Duke 2019
08/31 - Incarnate Word
09/07 - UTSA
09/14 - at Rice
Oklahoma State 2018
09/08 - South Alabama
09/15 - Boise State 2019
TBA - Central Michigan
09/14 - at Tulsa
Penn State 2018
09/08 - at Pittsburgh
09/15 - Kent State 2019
09/14 - Pittsburgh
Pretty much ALL of the SEC teams are open in this timeframe, as many of their schedules have not been built this far out.
