A CBS Sports ranking of the 2026 Big Ten football schedules. Wisconsin at No. 1 (the easiest) flips from last season's most difficult schedule. Mega-conference schedules can and do vary significantly from season to season. Penn State has the 2nd-easiest schedule. I don't know if PSU's roster is still Blue Chip. I do know that PSU coach Matt Campbell has a nice, B1G welcome. In this ranking, No. 18 Ohio State has the most difficult slate of games. OBD is ranked 16th, the third most difficult schedule. The top 25 games are those against the CBS too-early ranking of the top 25. All preseason schedule rankings are a guesstimate. But any 'expert' who thinks OBD has it easy in 2026 is way off the mark. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/2026-big-ten-football-schedule-rankings-easiest-toughest/

CBS Sports ranks the schedules from No. 1 Wisconsin (easiest) to No. 18 Ohio State (most difficult). OBD at No. 16 has the 3rd toughest schedule. The Wisconsin flip from the most difficult last season to the easiest is an example of how mega-conference schedules can vary one season to the next. Games against top 25 opponents are games against the CBSS preseason top 25. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/2026-big-ten-football-schedule-rankings-easiest-toughest/

Oregon = QB U Mariota, Herbert, Nix, Gabriel, and now potentially Moore and Raiola! Oregon Ducks On SIHow Oregon Has Become Known As 'Quarterback University'Over the years, the Oregon Ducks college football program has started to become known as "quarterback university." Memorable names who played at Oregon like Was

Oregon Football Recruiting: Wraps up the week with 20 more Scholarship offers

Even if they got the call - Dyer was down... Oregon was reeling and getting run over near the end of the game. They still needed another play - a turnover or a tackle for a big loss to get the ball back. Back in those days, Oregon had to get better in the trenches and it was proven in these games: Oklahoma 2006 Auburn natty 2010 Ohio St 2009, 2014 natty LSU 2011 and a few games in that era vs Stanford and USC The pain that the program went through trying to bust through the ceiling but failing is laying the foundation for the team to keep getting more and more competitive as time goes on.

This one will never get old lol

I remember when Mike Leach passed away back in December 2022. Lou Holtz and Bill Snyder were both saying how he was too young to go like that. God bless the Holtz family, and all those close to coach Lou.

For pity's sake, PLEASE focus on the results and not on the source of the information. DO NOT SHOOT THE MESSENGER. 😇 Using the 2025-26 final SP+, some dawg from the Other School Up North has done a thorough job of calculating B1G schedule strength and prospective win totals. The use of quadrants to determine the quality of the opposition follows the quadrant method used by the CBB committee. Of course, we have no idea how the SP+ final rankings will transfer from 2025-26 to 2026-27. In 2026, Oklahoma State could go from two to eight or more wins. Quadrant 1 - 2026 games against 2025-26 SP+ Top 25, validates your take, iouhounds, on Penn State's weak 2026 schedule. 7 Games - Ohio State 6 Games - Michigan, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue, USC 5 Games - Indiana, Michigan State, Minnesota, Oregon, UW 4 Games - Iowa, Maryland, Rutgers, UCLA, Wisconsin 3 Games - Illinois, Penn State Penn State - Marshall (with this kind of schedule, a Marshall should be called in 🤬) Temple, Buffalo (Bulls, not Bills.) Illinois does play a P4 team OOC, Duke. The Miami Hurricanes just blew away the Duke QB and the Blue Devils best WR. Illinois has a bye week the week before Oregon plays the Fighting Illini in Champaign-Urbana. Iowa State East, er, Penn State, does not play Indiana, Ohio State, Oregon, and Iowa. PSU hosts USC in a likely White Out game. The Nittany Lions' toughest games are on the road vs. Michigan and UW. UW Dawg PoundA Closer Look At The Big Ten’s 2026 ScheduleThe Big Ten released the football schedule for 2026. Who has an easy schedule, and who has a difficult schedule?

That and scam was also stripped on a hit in the same game that was blown dead early, negating the T/O, was he not?

It's true...I'm easily amused!

For those who can watch Twitter of "X" videos...some good ones!

These are fun memories/humor from a year ago. Gotta have some fun!

Had DeAnthony turned his head and blocked for Mariota seems like another one of those “Dyer” moments for Duck football. Btw…after hearing Auburn fans greet each other with War Eagle for two days before that game, I did want to see that damn eagle fly out of that stadium to never be seen again. When all is said, and done, I have always thought about the difference between need, and want. I will always want to see OBD win a Championship, but I certainly don’t need them to win one to be happy. At this stage, I feel like I have gotten my moneys worth of memorable wins, and…ahem, losses.

Or more . . . After Mr. Natty's Int (not), James lazily running out wide turned up field just before the snap negating a positive run and after the penalty placed the ball on the one a safety ensued on the next play. Then, just ask Charles, on 4th a goal Barner chose the wrong path and was stopped short. Lastly, the piano on Maehl's back (birth defect, not his fault) caused him to be tackled with nothing but a turf monster in front of him.

I realize Lou is long of tooth. But I still keep hope for him. My wife was 76 and in hospice care. Now she is back, and while still disabled, is thriving. Good luck Lou. Prayers go up for you.
