3. Nebraska

Non-con: Arkansas State, Northern Illinois, at Oregon

Big Ten, home: Iowa, Northwestern, Ohio State, Rutgers, Wisconsin

Big Ten, road: Illinois, Minnesota, Penn State, Purdue

Skinny: The elusive search for the program’s first league title since 1999 continues. This schedule offers few breaks, as cross-division tilts with the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions loom. Before that, Nebraska will be put to the test by a visit to raucous Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Ore. But know this: The road to the West crown may be going through Lincoln, as the Hawkeyes, Wildcats and Badgers all come to Memorial Stadium.

Top 3 all seem pretty equal in difficulty imo. I would personally rank us ahead of Iowa due to the Oregon game.

 
Yeah, looks like the biggest difference in our schedules are Michigan State vs Oregon. Both of them took a nosedive last year, so who knows what they'll be like this year. We play Penn State on the road, though, while Iowa gets them at home.
