2020 Illinois Football Schedule Idea
Originally Missing: Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State
The Illini catch the bad break of getting Michigan instead of Maryland from the East to open up the season. With an open date right after, move the Northwestern game to the week after to open things up at the end, and move over the Indiana game to front-load the season a bit more.

2020 Iowa Football Schedule Idea
Originally Missing: Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Rutgers
The goal was to shoehorn Michigan in here, but it would’t quite work out considering the other matchups. However, facing Indiana won’t be a breeze. The one big trade off is the lack of a late-season week off – the Hawkeyes would have to stay in one piece through November.

2020 Minnesota Football Schedule Idea
Originally Missing: Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers
The Gophers go from having another nice and easy start to the season to a brutal first two games. They get Penn State for a second year in a row at home, but that’s followed up by a road game at Nebraska, which would get moved from November 27th to create the open date.

2020 Nebraska Football Schedule Idea

2020 Wisconsin Football Schedule Idea
Originally Missing: Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers
Yeah, having to play Ohio State wouldn’t be fun, but it would be in Camp Randall with a big early date to make a big splash. The Purdue game would be moved from mid-November to create some flexibility.
