I’ve heard lots of scheduling scenarios but not this one. The best i can think is for us to play Illinois this wknd. This would give Northwestern a bye week to prepare for us and ensure the Wildcats that they get into the Big10 title game with only 1-Loss.
We will get our 6th game against a team we were already scheduled to play just 2 weeks ago. This way there is no competitive advantage or disadvantage as both the Illini & Buckeyes were prepping for each other very recently and should be able to install gameplans rather quickly.

Thoughts on us traveling to Champaign to get in our 6th Big10 game?
