lmao i might take next season off. Breaking in a Sophomore QB with a conference prime time game leading the schedule, traveling to a decent P5 opponent, and playing crossovers against OSU, MSU, and UM.

That might be a six win season.
 

Interesting schedule...but given current level of talent in addition whose leaving and the prospects coming in, it would only be a wild guess on my part to predict wins and loses. However it looks like a challenging schedule regardless of 2023 talent level.
 

Which Week will College Game Day be Here?

Brutal schedule, I think this might boost PJs consideration of playing Athan the rest of the year, try to give him as much experience as possible going into next year.

I think we can be 5-0 going into the Michigan game (which should be homecoming), but every win will need to be earned next year.
 



Not only do MN & Purdue both get OSU & MI, both have some decent non-conference opponents: MN with North Carolina & Purdue with VA Tech & Syracuse.

Fleck & Brohm may be best buddies by the time they play on 11/11, having to offer words of encouragement to each other....
 


Bunch of quitters in here.

Get off my side if you're not excited about the potential for next year.

Woof.
 

How do you get Michigan, OSU and Michigan State as the cross-overs? Geeze.
 

Wait a minute. We're @ North Carolina? I thought Minnesota canceled North Carolina events due to potty issues.
Did something change?
 

Aside from Nebraska that's a pretty old-school Big Ten schedule.
I'm guessing the Ragin' Cajuns will be homecoming. U of M needs a homecoming victory one of these years.
Anyway, I like it. Bring it on. We'll all have fun regardless.
 

We get MSU coming of Michigan week.
Michigan after Nebraska
tOSU is trap game before Michigan.
Illinois rusty off the bye
Iowa off Wisconsin
Nebraska possibly a new coach in week one
Northwestern early before they build momentum
Purdue off Michigan
Wisconsin at Home
 


The MSU game is on my B-Day. Who do I call to make sure that is a W?
 


I did some digging in my college buddy group-chat. I knew I had screenshotted the previous version of the schedule somewhere. The opponents and the locations are the exact same as they were before. The only change is the order of some games. No one can complain.

If they can pull some wins off it’s the kind of schedule that would be respectable if they can run with the big dogs. They are losing some talent though. I think 8 wins would be respectable.
 


Badger fan forum. How quickly they forget about Illinois...

That was the NCAA, who cancelled any existing championship events that were scheduled back in 2016. Furthermore it seems the law you are referencing was repealed in 2017.
