Home Games: Maryland, Illinois, Northwestern, Oregon, Ball State, Kent State, ttun 

Road Games: Texas, USC, Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana

Absolutely brutal schedule with what will likely be a whole new defense. The Big Ten has got to do a better job balancing this out from year to year. I also see no value in playing Texas if things don’t change with College Football. It just increases the chances of a 3 loss regular season with no major upside if you win.

Another note on the schedule; the playoff scheduling needs to be fixed immediately. It is currently a huge disadvantage to get the first round bye.
