  • 2020: Ohio State opens with Bowling Green in the Shoe on September 5, then travels to Eugene to play Oregon on the 12th, has an open date on the 19th, starts B1G play on the 26th, has another open date on October 3, and the rest of the schedule is full with B1G games. 
  • 2021: Ohio State opens at Minnesota on September 4, then hosts Oregon on the 11th and Tulsa on the 18th, has an open date on the 25th, and then goes back to B1G play on October 2 at Nebraska. 

Of the 11 games currently scheduled for each season, six are in the Shoe. Smart money is on Gene Smith filling both schedules with a seventh home game and the chances are virtually nil that he will book a second home-and-away against another P5 team to go along with Oregon.

Besides, there aren't many P5s with open dates in 2020 and 2021 that match up with Ohio State's. I did some quick research of P5 schedules to see which teams have open dates on 9/19/20 and 9/25/21 and came up with only four: ArkansasPittsburgh, Virginia Tech, and this team. So we're probably looking at adding a couple non-P5 schools.

But a boy can always dream, right?
