Schedule

I would have liked a bye week buffer for Covid-19 issues that might crop up but thankful for rapid testing, Notre Dame getting the ACC to play, and Nebraska being relentless in getting to play or asking Big Ten brass to provide full transparency on why they are not.  Evidently, playing was a better option than revealing their flawed metrics.  #GBR!

So going by the original 2020 schedule AND 4 home and 4 away, it does make sense to me that Rutgers or OSU would be taken off the plate, since one of them is the extra away game. Its better TV for NU to play OSU. This is my prediction.

That's exactly what I think they'll do.

4-4 minimum with the bonus game at the end which will match us against one of the lower teams in the east.

Are we going to match up with a lower team in the East after we play in the Big Ten Championship or before?

Rutgers stuns the world and makes it to the CCG against us. Pat Forde in shambles.

This will be the one year NU wins the B1G...and the B1G won't be eligible for the CFP

I'll take it.

I'll take it.

Me too...but that would be some NU luck right there

Why wouldn't the Big Ten/NU be eligible for the playoff?  The schedule laid out today was to ensure Big Ten teams would be considered for the playoff.

Really just an extreme hypothetical based on the kind of luck our football team seems to have.  But what if the B1G only plays like 5-6 games?  Not like there's a chance for makeup games.

Ok, that makes sense then.  I agree that the Big Ten didn't leave any margin of error for their teams.  If the top teams are only able to get 5 or 6 games in, it will be difficult to compare them to other teams who have played 9 or 10 games.

I kinda get the feeling that nobody is going to play their full schedule in any of the conferences
