    11/15: BYE
    11/22: vs Maryland
    11/29: at Ohio State

    Besides having to play at Sparty, both teams have a good chance to be undefeated in conference play on 11/29, just looking at how their schedule/crossover games work out.

    Any chance MD plays the OSU game at FedEx?

    Not sure. I can see it at Byrd as not sure the Terps want to make a habit of heading down to Fedex to play OSU, Penn St,. etc.

    Byrd does only seat 54k, so not sure what they might do. Because, what they do for OSU, I am also sure they will do for Penn St as that is the largest alumni base here it seems.

    Gophers got an impossible schedule. Good for fan interest, not so good for having a shot to win games.

    at Michigan, vs Ohio State, at Nebraska, at Wisconsin.... THANKS DELANEY

    Would it really matter who was on the schedule?


    Whats penn states. Wondering if B1G gave them a break since that year they'll really be short on players.

    Yes? If they got Maryland and Indiana (like Iowa did) I would have hopes they could win 5 conference games in 2014, with an outside (but realistic) shot at 6 (Indiana, Maryland, Purdue, Illinois, Iowa/Northwestern). With Ohio State and Michigan as the crossovers, 4 wins is looking like the max (Northwestern, Iowa, Illinois, Purdue).

    In response to the posts about Ohio State's byes, it only shows a bye on the schedule because they aren't playing a B1G team. They have a game the weekend of the 27th, just against Cincinnati. The team's first bye is actually September 6th.

    So OSU got Minnesota and Illinois from the West. That sets up pretty nice.

    Ohio State is lucky to dodge Northwestern again. Count your blessings.

    Welcome to the B1G. Bahaa!

    Doesn't get easier for Rutgers in 2015, pretty much the same four games without an idle. Here is a link to the 2015 schedule:

    i think they should have had Purdue and Sparty switched to make the sides a little more balanced. Of course that would hurt the Michigan MSU game. The east is much better.
