With the season right around the corner I wanted to look at the B1G non conference games. I am of the opinion that we should root for all B1G teams even Michigan out of conference. It is a fact we make the playoffs if Michigan beat ND last year.

Michigan- Michigan hosts Notre Dame in October a week after they visit PSU in a whiteout. Georgia also plays ND at home so these two could be compared

PSU- Plays Pitt week 3 and even if PSU takes a step back losing to Pitt would make them look very weak

MSU- They host Arizona State, again it would look bad if one of the better B1G teams loses to an average PAC 12 team.

Maryland- They play Syracuse who should be one of the better ACC teams so if they can sneak a win it would be huge for one if the bottom B1G teams.

Our crossovers are then Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Northwestern.

Nebraska- They will be at Colorado who has probably the best receiver in the country. In order for Nebraska to be a quality win they need to beat Colorado

Wisconsin-They have an easy OOC with their toughest game @USF, they need to win them all to be a quality win

Northwestern-Tough Start for Northwestern @Stanford but not an unwinnable game. Northwestern may have the toughest first half of the season with @Stanford, MSU, @Wisconsin, OSU, @Nebraska, and Iowa. If they can pull off a Stanford win this could be another very solid win at the end of the year.
