Air Force and Iowa State had a football series scheduled for 2013 and 2014, but that has been canceled according to Air Force senior associate athletics director Jim Trego. Changes in the Big 12 prompted the Cyclones to ask to call off the series.

Air Force, and all Mountain West teams, have some scheduling dilemmas. The Mountain West appears headed to a nine-game conference schedule, which will force some changes. Those changes could be a few years off as Mountain West teams play out some of the scheduled non-conference series instead of trying to get out of contracts. The changes would affect Air Force, which would have just one open non-conference date every year, considering its annual rivalry against Navy and Army.

The Falcons are set with a home-and-home series against Notre Dame, and that could be announced by Notre Dame as soon as today. Here’s a look at what non-conference games are on the schedule now for the next five years, keeping in mind that all of it is very tentative, especially the further out it is projected:
