What CFB game should I visit this year?

So last year I got a wild hair in the summer and decided to visit a stadium that I normally wouldn't go to. Ended up going to Columbus for the Ohio State/Michigan State game and aside from the dreadful weather had a great time. VA and a few other posters here hosted me at the tailgate and it was just a great weekend overall. My game ticket, flight, and 2 nights of lodging came out to under $500 total so I got a steal I think.
Now I'm looking at preliminary plans to do something similar. Here are a few things:
-UCLA and Notre Dame are 2 I would like to see, but UGA has games scheduled with those 2 so no need to go now.
-Can't be on a big UGA game. So the only weekends I can do are 10/22, 11/5, or 11/19.
-I was REALLY intrigued by Penn State hosting OSU on 10/22, but then I realized I'd have to fly in a few hours away and rent a car which I'm not willing to do. Direct flights into SC were outrageous.
-Some that I would like to knock out eventually are Michigan, Florida State, and potentially UF (since we play in jacksonville every year that's a stadium I'd never visit otherwise). I'm open to anywhere really though, and really just want to see a big atmosphere at a big school that I wouldn't ever get to otherwise.
So any suggestions?

I think Michigan's home games this year are garbage other than Wisconsin. The Big House is a bit overrated, too, but worth seeing once. Honestly, ND isn't that big a deal. Nice campus and people, TD Jesus is cool, but there is not much in South Bend.

The only answer is Bama @ LSU on Nov. 5th

I may or may not have desired to visit there under the circumstances in the OP, but we go up there next season actaully so I'll be there regardless. They come here in '19. Looking forward to that series.

I've been to all the SEC stadiums aside from aTM (we've never played there, go in '24) and UF, since we play in jacksonville.
The point isn't necessarily to see the biggest game, it's to see somehwere new I haven't (and likely wouldn't ever) see otherwise. But at the same time, I don't want to go somehwere when they're playign NW Idaho St either because that doesn't really paint a real picture of their gameday, IMO.

South Bend fricking blows 
If you're hitting up any Texas locales this season, OP, I'd recommend the Red River Shootout between TX/OU or a game at Baylor's new stadium (yeah, the scandal puts a pall over things, but the venue itself is quite nice).

Oct. 29th, Clemson vs FSU. The stadium will be rocking that night. Guaranteed College Game Day atmosphere that day.

The schedule looks somewhat bleak on 10/22 outside of PSU/OSU which you mentioned.
On 11/5, there is Oregon vs USC.
On 11/19, there is OU vs West Virginia, Ohio State vs Michigan State, and Cal vs Stanford.
Depending on your idea of that you normally wouldn't go to because the SEC schedule is so screwed up now, the SEC West games on those days are:
10/22: Texas A&M vs Alabama, Ole Miss vs LSU
11/5: Alabama vs LSU
11/19: None of Note.

Some suggestions:
10/22 Weekend:
UNC at UVA (Biased here, but Charlottesville is a top 5 college town in America and football games are an awesome experience regardless of UVA's mediocrity. UNC/UVA is an old, traditional rivalry as well.)
11/5 Weekend:
Syracuse at Clemson (This would be close by for you and Clemson is a great place to watch a game if you haven't been. Fake Death Valley, but a nice venue nonetheless.)
11/19 Weekend:
Arizona State at Washington (Seattle is awesome, the new Husky stadium is awesome and if you can handle the distance, it's a unique area of the country worthy of an extended stay to see the outdoor offerings.)
