2024 could be a big year for us. Much better schedule.
USC and Washington are tough, but the rest are potential wins.
Washington (Penix) and possibly USC (Williams) are replacing qbs next year. However, Riley and DeBoer have solid records of doing that well. .
edit: Actually, Wisconsin will be as well as Mordecai is a grad transfer. I think Taulia is a senior too iirc.
Quick thoughts:
- RU doesn't play Michigan, Ohio State or State Penn next year. A whole new world.
-Only 1 home games against Michigan the next 5 years and only visit from Sandusky before 2028. I'm not upset. The Walmart Wolverines and Cultists in New Jersey can go F themselves.

Washington loses Penix to the Draft. They'll be much more mortal next year. Really outside of USC, we have an INCREDIBLY fair 2024 slate.
That's our protected rivalry. There are 12 total protect games in the conference. I posted them in the other thread about conference schedules for everyone.
So 2024 schedule will be:
Home
Akron
Illinois
Minnesota
UCLA
Washington
Wisconsin
Paycheck Game
Away
Maryland
Michigan State
Nebraska
USC
Virginia Tech

We still get to see those lovely State Penn fans in 2025
Much fairer schedule. More $$$.
The new B1G is really paying dividends for us.

Like it or not, that’s our only true football rival. It makes sense…
Hopefully before then!
Also.....I've been waiting to visit The Coliseum since I was 7 and Anthony Davis scored 6 TD's against Notre Lame. Song girls? YES PLEASE!
We will likely be the favorite in more than half of these. It has been a decade since we've had a schedule this manageable.
So glad they got rid of the divisions.
Very interesting..
In 5 years (23 home games and 22 away) we host Michigan and Ohio State and USC and Oregon once each.. the teams we host twice are Illinois, Maryland, Penn State, Minnesota, UCLA and Washington.. 23 games.. 17 teams can visit.. 6 dupes..
We visit Maryland 3 times, Michigan State, Nebraska and Ohio State twice.. hmmm.. that means there is someone we do not visit.. right? 18 teams, 22 away games.. 17 places to visit.. there should be only 5 dupes in 5 years.. why @Maryland 3 times? Cheaper on travel costs for us I guess.
As for value of a Rutgers ticket, as good as Washington and UCLA are I doubt those games would be as valuable as, say, another Michigan, Ohio State, USC game.
My prediction: They change these schedules in the next two years before Michigan and USC visits us in 2026 and Ohio State in 2027.

Actually with Williams leaving USC after this year, I think Wash could be tougher. USC’s defense hasn’t been good under Riley and his OU teams were similar. However the USC game is out there and a likely loss.
Washington will lose Penix and USC might lose Williams. But DeBoer and Riley both have a history of finding productive qbs.
DeBoer did it at Fresno with Jake Haener too and their offense was ranked in top 20s and 30s YPP. Riley has had a litany of productive qbs and offenses at OU before he went to USC.
The one thing I wonder about for the western teams, and it’s still an unknown, is how will they handle the eastward travel, which imo is harder than westward travel.
All in all if you break the opponents with the old and new schedules down based on team the new schedule on paper is easier.
Like our chances better vs. Washington and Wisconsin over Michigan and Penn State. USC/Ohio State is a wash. Not sure how I feel about Nebraska as opposed to Iowa. I feel like Rhule will right the ship there at some point.
Loving the 2024 schedule. I think we have a solid chance to build a really impressive record.
For you Syracuse, Fredo and UConn fans who like to troll here. This is what life is like in the B1G 10:
RU Fan #1 - "Did you see that we added UCLA, USC and Washington to our schedule next year?"
RU Fan #2 - " Thank goodness the conference is finally giving us a break."

Just last night, I was looking at the 2024 schedule, thinking it was the most brutal yet, with the usual big three in the B1G East and then with MSU, MD, and MN away, as well as VT away, which is not going to be easy, plus Iowa and UCLA at home. The only games we would've been favored in would've likely been Illinois at home, Akron at home and bought game at home vs. being favored in 5 or 6 games now, plus having more toss-up games vs. heavy dog games. We needed this.
- Home: Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Penn State, UCLA, Akron.
- Away: Maryland, Michigan State, Minnesota, Ohio State, Virginia Tech.
- A non-conference game TBD.
I confess that I don't know the rules. Can Mordecai apply for a medical redshirt?

I don’t know all the rules either but I think he’s in his 6th and is a grad transfer and this year is his last.
