2026 Schedule: Quick Thoughts.

11-1 I know it will happen sometime. Why not this year? RTBSUMGG!!!

Wish we played Penn State a bit earlier in the season. Matt Campbell will have righted the ship by November, I feel like.

Feel like Campbell's teams usually start fast and fade in November. It always seems they ranked in September and finish the year on a losing streak

Iowa state is Maryland on steroids

I don’t follow Iowa state outside of the scores. Usually watch a game or two per year. But I have to think Penn state as a draw and with their bank will help him have better depth than he had at Iowa state

Oh, so NOW the Big Ten puts Indiana on Minnesota's schedule.

My guess is we get no love and the national consensus is 5 wins. This year I am not as optimistic with the M&G chances. In another thread I way-to-earlied them with 7-5... I'm leaning to 6-6 now.

Oh, my other hot-take....Nebraska will be pre-season top-25.. remember you read it here first!

This is a tough schedule. We were gifted an easy one last year and this is a sort of "no weeks off" setup this year.

Pre-season Heisman for whomever the Nebraska QB is for sure

Big Ten schedule will never be easy but on paper this looks like a pretty favorable schedule. As others have said, it is a shame that Penn State isn't a little earlier in the schedule.

Like having a bye week before Iowa and only one West Coast trip. Also like starting with a weak team before Mississippi State comes to town.

Will be interesting to see how all the teams look as the season gets going but all told this looks like a pretty favorable schedule potentially.

I will be in Bloomington on Halloween. We might get beat by 45 points, but it will be fun

Bloomington is awesome, great college town.

Was there in 2021 and had a blast. Can't even imagine how it will be this year!

At 5 - 7, our bowl win record will remain intact.

I wonder if Michigan will be the Homecoming game or Akron.
