Ohio State's Big Ten opponents for the 2016-17 season were released back in June. The Buckeyes have known since then who they'd be playing league games against next season, they just didn't know when.
On Thursday, the Big Ten released dates for those games and Ohio State will open up its Big Ten season Jan. 1 at Illinois and plays three of its first four league games on the road. The Buckeyes will wrap up their regular season March 4 when they host Indiana.
