On Wednesday morning, the Big Ten finally released its new conference-only schedule. While this by no means guarantees that football will be played this fall, it is certainly a huge step in the right direction. Plus, it just feels a whole lot better to see Ohio State with a list of opponents on the docket.
The 10-game slate features a bunch of very interesting matchups, including rematches with Purdue and Iowa, as well as the Michigan game somewhat oddly being moved to October. Also of note, the Buckeyes will open up the 2020 campaign on a Thursday night, with the matchup against Illinois on Sept.
