What’s your 2020 schedule looking like

[rmilia1]

Consecutive road games against Penn State and Ohio State is still pretty brutal.

Its cool too because both PSU and OSU have bye weeks the week before we play them. Thanks B10 schedule makers!! Lol

nope, we're more than fine in that respect......... clemson makes it every year...........

I feel like Iowa plays Penn St every year. They supposedly rotate the games but we play PSU like 3 out of every 4 years . Its weird

I don't know how they do the opposite division rotations......... we usually always play wisconsin, but next year we don't. love to know the criteria or method they use......

Better watch out for App State. They don’t win every time, but they usually give the big boys all they can handle

Im guessing they try to match up the top teams across divisions more frequently which would lead to Wisky vs OSU ( 1 vs 1 ) and Iowa vs PSU ( 2 vs 2 ) more often in an attempt to give the other teams in each division a better shot to win as their crossovers are easier. Not really working though lol

"League officials have arranged future rotations over a 36-year time frame so every team in each division plays each other 16 times, except for Indiana and Purdue, which meet 36 times. The Hoosiers and Boilermakers will face each cross-divisional opponent 12 times over 36 years."

Starting in 2022 it changes.

I know its hard to do with teams going up and down being good/bad, Everybody probably remembers back in the 90s those two years that NW was a powerhouse. Guess who didn't play them those two years???? lol.

Tell me about it. But at least they are good for the schedule. Beating them will be a plus instead of a meh.
