Overall, not brutal. The away only group is a little rough. Not having to go to Crisler is always a plus.

On the plus side all three will likely be Q1.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

12-8 or 13-7

 

[Scangg]

Away group is tough but overall not bad. Path to at least 10 B1G wins is there which should be tournament worthy

 

[S.W.A.I.N]

Thats a tough road draw for sure, but grateful we only have to play those guys once. 10 is feasible.

Is this an automatic type of rotation, or is there discretion exercised by the B1G? It just seems odd that one of the teams that is a natural rival for us -- Maryland -- we only play once. You'd think the B1G would want to cultivate the rivalry.

Glad we get Indiana twice. Always nice to rack up the conference wins to help out NCAA hopes

The only protected rivalries are Michigan-Michigan State and Indiana-Purdue. Those two matchups happen twice every season no matter what. The rest is just a simple rotation: whichever six teams we play once this season we'll play twice next season, along with one "play twice" carryover. This year that carryover is Penn State (played them twice last season and twice this season). FWIW this is the second time recently Penn State has been our carryover, so that's sort of a rivalry. Counting this upcoming year, we'll have played them twice in 4 of 5 seasons. h/t @High Quality H2O

True. And we have won at both Wisconsin and Purdue in recent years, so there's that.

 

[MADHAT1]

Maryland should always be a home and home series every year, in my opinion.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I'm gonna go with "our most favorable conference schedule to-date in the B1G."

I want to see how the early part of the league schedule lines up. They have hammered us with that a few times.

If we can get even one of those three away onlies, that would be great for the tournament resume. But please lets beat all the teams we shouldnt lose to this year.

[Knight Shift]

"Indiana, Michigan State, Michigan, Illinois and Purdue appear to be the early favorites to finish in the conference's upper tier."

 

[knights1212]

I like this schedule. The 3 single opponents on the road are tough but it will help our SOS if we can win at least one of them. I like our NCAA chances.

If the programs agreed to perhaps a neutral site, could Maryland and Rutgers schedule a “rivalry” (2nd) game that does not count in Big Ten standings?
