Now that we have an updated conference schedule, it's time to once again figure out who has the most difficult schedule in the Big Ten.

1. Nebraska

2. Michigan

3. Maryland

4. Indiana

5. Michigan State

6. Penn State

7. Rutgers

8. Illinois

9. Iowa

10. Minnesota

11. Wisconsin

12. Northwestern

13. Purdue

14. Ohio State

OSU doesn't duck a single "helmet" and gets ranked last? 

Seems a little fishy to me....

Nebraska doesn't play Nebraska or Michigan, and they are in the B1G West.

This.

Any schedule that doesn't include Ohio State is going to be immediately easier.

Penn State is the only other team that plays all the Helmets. They don't duck OSU, yet they can't even crack the Top 5. 

Yeah, I know. They don't have to play Penn State. And they probably duck the big bad Golden Gophers.

I mean, I think Nebraska would want to play a team the quality of Nebraska.

It seems like an affect of this smaller schedule.
OSU three hardest games per FPI: PSU, Mich, IU (rated 19th!), Nebraska (rated 39th)
PSU's: OSU, Mich, IU, Nebraska (rated 39th)

Since it's such a small set, that one extra game against the No. 1 team feels like it swings things. UW is probably a bit high, though Nebraska is the sixth hardest game on the schedule. Weird deal for sure.

As f'up as 2020 is, this could be the year Indiana wins the Big Ten.

I'm half serious.

Huskers would have a 50/50 chance in that one

not so much vs OSU, Wisconsin, and PSU
