Conference Schedules

Everyone ready to evaluate difficulty of conference schedules???

Each Big Ten team will miss 4 games with conference opponents (2 each at home and away). Here's the listing of which opponent each team plays only once, and if so, where the singleton game is played:

ILLINOIS: @PSU, MSU, @IND, IOWA

INDIANA: NW, ILL, @WISC, @NEB

IOWA: @ILL, MICH, @MSU, OSU

MICH: @IOWA, MINN, WISC, @NEB

MSU: @ILL, IOWA, @NW, PSU

MINN: OSU, @MICH, @PSU, PUR

NEB: MICH, IND, @PUR, @NW

NW: @IND, MSU, NEB, @WISC

OSU: @IOWA, PUR, @MINN, PSU

PSU: ILL, @MSU, @OSU, WISC

PUR: @MINN, @OSU, NEB, WISC

WISC: @PUR, NW, @MICH, IND

I'd say Wisconsin has the schedule advantage of the likely teams to make the big dance. No favors to Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State, or Ohio State.

Looks like Iowa or PSU have got to be the easiest

Ours looks middle of the road. Missing a road game at Illinois seems nice, even if they did just lose to UNLV last night.

but, makes sense that

the bottom teams don’t get the “advantage” of playing themselves. So who really cares if they have the “harder schedule” since they have such a small chance of playing after the big ten tourney.
