Big Ten releases updated football schedule, MSU now plays Michigan on the road

The Big Ten season is still slated to kick off the week of September 3.

If football is going to happen in the Big Ten this fall, it will be under a modified schedule.

The conference has released its new ten-game conference-only schedule to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and there are a handful of notable changes. However the season will start as planned the week of September 3.

For Michigan State fans the biggest change is the flipping of locations for the Michigan and Indiana games. Michigan State will now travel to Ann Arbor and host Indiana, same as the 2019 season. MSU also adds an end-of-season game on the road against Nebraska. The Spartans lost to the Cornhuskers in Lincoln in 2018.

MSU will now open the season hosting Minnesota instead of previously scheduled opponent Northwestern. That game has now moved to week three. Every Big Ten team has two scheduled bye weeks and an open week at the end of the season to help with flexibility int he event of postponements or rescheduling.

Currently two Big Ten teams, Rutgers and Michigan State, are under a team-wide quarantine after COVID-19 outbreaks within the program. MSU is scheduled to end quarantine Wednesday, while Rutgers recently announced its number of cases on the team had almost doubled from 15 to 28. Northwestern also stopped workouts this week due to a positive test within their ranks.

Berry Tramel of the Oklahoman recently ranked all of the nonconference schedules of the 64 teams in the Power Five conferences. In his rankings, Tramel puts Michigan State Football at the No. 10 spot among the 64 teams.

Here is what Tramel had to say about the Spartan’s nonconference slate:

“At Brigham Young, Toledo, Miami. Great schedule. A name-brand in the Hurricanes, the most tradition-rich mid-major in BYU, and a solid Mid-American program in Toledo.”

You can check out all of Tramel’s rankings here.

Wisconsin is the only other Big Ten team ahead of Michigan State. The Badgers rank No. 4 out of all 64 teams. Interstate rival, the Michigan Wolverines, ranked at No. 20.
