Theoretically, what is the most times any one player can play against another team, playing for the same college? I guess technically, with conference championship games like the Big 12 has, it is fifteen times?
John Burt is a senior WR for the Longhorns. He played OU as a freshman, sophomore, junior and now earlier this year as a senior. He will play them a fifth time this weekend in the Big 12 championship game. But with the new 4-game redshirt rules, he was hurt some this year and thus will be eligible for the redshirt to come back next year. If the same scenario plays out, Texas vs OU in the Big 12 championship game, he will have played OU 7 times as a Longhorn in his college career.
So in the future, that could happen for a theoretical player every year for five years (one a redshirt year) totaling ten times, but if like Alabama and Georgia, both teams got picked for the NCAA playoffs, the teams could meet a third time in the NCAA championship game. If that all happened five straight years, you have 15 games.
