Ohio State Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Buckeyes miss from the Big Ten West Division?

It’s Ohio State so it’s not going to freak out about playing anyone, but having to play defending West champ Iowa and having to play Wisconsin isn’t a the best of breaks. However, both games are at home, and having to go on the road to face Northwestern shouldn’t be an issue.

In division play, they have to go to Michigan State and Penn State, but the date with Michigan is back in Columbus this time around.

Ohio State Football Schedule What To Know: Get rolling early and own home field

There can be a misfire on the road against Penn State or Michigan State and be okay as long as Ohio State dominates at home.

Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan – all four should be in the preseason top 25 – and maybe flirt with the top 15 – but again, they’re all home games. Starting out with five straight in Ohio Stadium should be just the warmup for the run of four road trips in six dates.

Ohio State Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

To keep hammering this home, it’s not all that bad as long as everything works out early and as long as any mistakes come on the road. As long as there’s a win over the Irish in the opener, the tone should be set the rest of the way.

It’s Ohio State, so it’s College Football Playoff or bust. For almost anyone else this slate would be a forget-about-it-killer. For this program, 11-1 is more than possible.

Where ESPN sees Wisconsin finishing in the 2021-22 Big Ten basketball standings

The Badgers are expected to be near the middle of the pack according to ESPN

Less than a week away from the formal start of the college basketball season, ESPN put together a roundtable of college basketball writers to discuss the 2021-22 Big Ten campaign.

Wisconsin’s 2021-22 squad is a young, fresh set of Badgers who represent a complete one-eighty from the narrative surrounding last year’s group. While the Badgers aren’t expected to contend for a Big Ten regular season title, they are expected to be in the mix for an NCAA Tournament berth.

The ESPN panel had Wisconsin ranked at three different positions in their respective Big Ten standings, with consensus seeing the Badgers around the lower-middle tier of the conference.

Here is a look at where each writer projected the Badgers to finish:

The complete Week 10 Big Ten football schedule

A look at the complete Week 10 Big Ten schedule

The Big Ten schedule is filled with a number of high-profile battles in Week 10 as both divisions are still up for grabs.

All 14 teams are in action, with seven Big Ten matchups on the slate. Wisconsin looks to extend their season-saving four-game winning streak with a visit to Rutgers, while Michigan State and Ohio State will look to keep pace in the Big Ten East.

The Buckeyes are once again in the Big Noon Kickoff window, as they pay a visit to Nebraska. Minnesota will also look to continue their winning ways, as they try to stay atop the Big Ten West divsion. Here is a look at the complete television schedule for Week 10:

Every Big Ten game during Week 3

A look at every game on the Week 3 Big Ten schedule

While Wisconsin has their bye week early in the season, the rest of the Big Ten rolls on in Week 3.

The Badgers will have an extra week to prep for Notre Dame at Soldier Field in Chicago, while other Big Ten schools go up against ranked opponents. On this week’s Big Ten slate, there is a top-25 matchup, one conference battle, and a number of teams facing ranked opponents in primetime.

Big Noon Kickoff for Week 3 will travel to Oklahoma as the No. 3 Sooners take on Nebraska. As for the entire conference slate? Here is a look at every Big Ten game of Week 3:

Rutgers football 2021 schedule

The complete Rutgers football 2021 schedule including nine Big Ten games.

[mm-video type=playlist id=01fc3gzhz7qrm49z6q player_id=none image=https://rutgerswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

It is a season of anticipation for Rutgers, the return of fans to SHI Stadium heralding a new era in Scarlet Knights football.

There is also the return of head coach Greg Schiano, whose presence last year was a tremendous boost for a program that hasn’t had a winning season since 2014. That year, under former head coach Kyle Flood, was the last time the Scarlet Knights had a winning record (8-5). The 3-5 record in the Big Ten was also a program-best for wins in their new conference, an accomplishment which Schiano matched in the shortened 2020 season when Rutgers went 3-6, all in the Big Ten.

The expectation for Rutgers is a similar record in the Big Ten along with a strong showing in their three out of conference games. That could have the Scarlet Knights in bowl contention. Rutgers hasn’t played in a bowl game since the 2015 season.

The 2021 Rutgers football schedule features three out of conference games and nine games in the Big Ten. Also included are four Big Ten football teams that were ranked in preseason.

Here is Rutgers football 2021 schedule:

Week Date Opponent Time
1 9/2 vs. Temple 6:30 p.m.
2 9/11 at Syracuse 2:00 p.m. 
3 9/18 Delaware 3:30 p.m.

ATS picks for every Big Ten Week 2 contest

ATS picks for every Big Ten Week 2 contest

It’s Week 2 of the 2021 Big Ten football season, and the BadgersWire staff is back with picks for every game on the slate.

Unlike last week, Saturday’s schedule includes numerous out-of-conference contests with massive spreads. Aside from Iowa vs. Iowa State and Ohio State vs. Oregon, it’s honestly an uneventful week around the conference.

Nevertheless, we’re still here to pick every game the conference plays this season.

Both Asher and Ben came away with winning records during Week 0/1, somewhat surprisingly, though it unfortunately included picking Penn State to cover +4.5 against Wisconsin.

Last week’s record:

Ben: 6-3

Asher: 6-3

Record to date:

Ben: 6-4 (60%)

Asher: 7-3 (70%)

Way-too-early power rankings for the 2021 Big Ten football season

With the 2020 Big Ten football season now over with Ohio State on top, we are ranking the conference’s teams heading into 2021.

The 2020 Big Ten schedule has finally reached its end after what has been an absolute roller coaster ride of a season.

The season was originally postponed back in August, it was then reinstated, numerous games were canceled due to COVID-19 and if that wasn’t enough, the Big Ten Championship wasn’t even the last conference game played.

Hopefully, for the sake of everybody involved, the 2021 calendar year is a bit different and things return to normal by the time the Big Ten starts up again in early September.

One of the necessities of closing a football season is giving a way-too-early look at the year to come, and rank teams based on what we saw this season and we know going into next year.

In order to do this, I put together a ranking system jokingly named Ken(ney)Pom—with reference to the college basketball ranking site KenPom. My metric weighs each team’s returning/incoming production, quarterback play, coaching and 2020 success in order to compare the teams numerically and understand why they are slotted in the spot they’re in.

Necessary disclaimer: the teams are ranked below based on who has discussed returning for another season and they are subject to change as more players enter the NFL Draft, return to play an extra year and as transfers find their homes.

So this is not a sure-fire shot at who will win the conference next season, because so much will change between now and September. It is instead a look at where things stand right now–the week after the conclusion of the 2020 season.

Here is edition 1.0 of the way-too-early power rankings for the 2021 Big Ten football season:

Big Ten ready to allow schedule changes inside conference due to coronavirus cancellations

The Big Ten has reportedly agreed to allow teams to play other in-conference games should cancelations arise from the coronavirus pandemic.

It’s been a tough year for everybody with a global pandemic causing all of us to re-think how we do day to day life. It appears that the Big Ten has done some rethinking as well, we just didn’t know about it.

ESPN college football reporter, Heather Dinich, shared via Twitter that the Big Ten has had a change of heart when it comes to scheduling. The conference presidents and chancellors met on November 5 to approve schedule changes, but only in conference play. This would allow teams with canceled games, who have had no COVID-19 issues to play each other, even if it would be a repeat matchup. The decision for those two teams to play would have to be made by noon on Wednesday for a Saturday game.

If the reports are true, the newly added change would have had no impact on the Big Ten season thus far as no more than one game has been canceled in a week. Because everyone else was playing except for Ohio State and Maryland, there was no one else to play. However, this could have huge implications in the coming weeks.

Ryan Day has made it known that he would certainly be in favor of teams being allowed to find an opponent should a game not be played due to the novel coronavirus cases. Opening the schedule up to teams outside the conference would make that much easier, but it looks like the Big Ten is at least offering a little hope to teams who have been COVID-19 free. Maybe an out of conference step comes later. Maybe not.

Either way, as for now, Ohio State is scheduled to take on Indiana in a top ten matchup this Saturday… assuming all parties stay healthy. Let’s hope so.
