Why is this different? Has us at home vs Illinois to open B 10 play.

 

[PA_JOE]

Open big ten on the road again, hahaha


No.. Illinois on September 28th home opener.

Thanks, poor reading comprehension on my part.

Typo on our part originally, guess we got used to them opening up on the road haha. Its fixed.

 

[Obliviax]

wow. UCLA, USC, Wiscy, Ohio State, Washington...back to back to back to back to back. but there is a second bye week between USC and Wiscy.

 

[Psubiomed]

Michigan vanished from the schedule just in time for them to be decimated by the coming sanctions next year 😂😂😂

Of course...

there is a second bye week between USC and Wisconsin (oct 19th)

Sounds like best case is we beat every team we "should" beat and go 5-3 against the powerhouses (3 of which are on the road). A 2 loss season would be great!

UCLA
@ USC
@ Wisc
OSU
@ Wash

It is an exciting schedule, and a very difficult schedule! If we end up with two losses, I’ll be very satisfied!

2 losses will get us into the playoffs

UDubs is a home game

 

[Crusher1950]

I can see 3 loses already

Really? UCLA at home should be an easy win, Wisconsin is terrible, USC will be without Caleb Williams and has no D, Washington is in November without Pennix in the cold, and OSU finally without MHJ at home. If we lose more than 2 that’s a complete failure.

 

[KCLion]

OSU got a much easier schedule than us or Michigan.

Washington shouldn't be impacted by the cold.
USC or UCLA had to travel east in November--well Nebraska for UCLA

Seems pretty comparable to us...

tOSU: @Oregon, @PSU, Michigan plus Iowa
PSU: @USC, tOSU, Washington plus @Wisconsin

tOSU does has a sucky non-conference schedule though, so maybe that's what you mean.

Michigan definitely does have it rougher though: USC, @Washington, Oregon, @tOSU. Plus a non-conference game versus Texas to boot.

Did you miss UCLA for us?

Tough stretch but none of those teams are powerhouses outside of OSU.

I guess I don’t really think of UCLA as a consistently tough team. Some years they may be good but not necessarily a given. I’d put them in a category with (say) Michigan St.

I don't think anyone fears UCLA. Maybe that eventually changes.

Ok - we’ll see.

If Franklin had Chip Kelly's record since 2018 he'd have been fired. They haven't lost fewer than 4 games in a season in almost a decade. Last 2 loss or better season was 2005.

 

[Wareo]

Could be worse, you guys could have USC schedule.

Notre Dame, LSU, Michigan, Penn St, Washington, UCLA and Wisconsin

Ouch!

 

[Wareo]

Ouch!

Yea that is brutal, and if they lose Williams and that crappy D they have. They would be lucky to win just 1 or two of those game.
So with this years current rankings.

UCLA - #19
Notre Dame - #15
LSU - #14
Penn State - #11
Washington - #5
Michigan - #3

Then throw in a Wisconsin and Nebraska...whooo that is tough

Now that's interesting. Doubt it actually happens but very interesting.
