Football The Big Ten Football Schedule for Rutgers from 2024-2028

[Knight Shift]

From The Athletic--We are in the equation for the CFP???!!!!! 🤷‍♂️


"This is where common sense matters. For Illinois and Purdue or perhaps Iowa and Minnesota, none of them will likely win the national title. Maybe they crack the 12-team College Football Playoff one day, but it will be a rare occurrence. But playing for a rivalry trophy like The Cannon or Floyd of Rosedale is special. It matters. That’s not just a game historically; it is history."

Dochterman: Big Ten scheduling model gets it right. Other conferences should follow

Big Ten Chief Operating Officer Kerry Kenny said the conference wants to have game dates for the 2024 season set by the end of October.

The Big Ten calls its scheduling model Flex Protect XVIII, which locks in important annual rivalry games like Indiana-Purdue but doesn’t require every team to have the same number of protected games.

Didn't see the PSU-MSU Land Grant Trophy game protected.
Think both schools don't think it's a big deal and worth protecting
Maybe if we crab enough about it RU and Maryland can have a Blue Claw Trophy game

Looks like the current teams got exactly one west coast trip in 2024.. Washington has 3 trips to the eastern time zone.

I thought it was 2 trips for Washington in 2024, PSU and RU

Did you read the article?

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.

We'll be the team with the returning veteran B1G 10 QB next yer.

It is a paywall article. Athletic often has $1/month or $2/month for a year subscription deals. I just have it for CFB and it's worth it for me. If you like other sports, I tend to think their coverage is probably good.

If you see an Athletic link it's going to be paywall but when I post links from them I usually try to give pertinent snippets from the article or the gist of it.

It's not new info with regards to PSU/MSU. It's just like the previous flex protect schedule before Oregon/Washington were added. PSU sought no permanent rivals so they have no protected games.

thanks for the info.
When asked if I read the article, I got the impression that person who asked me if I read the article was implying the Land Grant Trophy game was a protected one and that was stated in the Athetic article.

I have the athletic too at a promo rate.
It’s good , but doesn’t beat the Sunday mornings with 2 or 3 sports sections on the kitchen table
