Illinois at North Carolina
Northwestern at Duke
Nebraska at Miami
Virginia Tech at Purdue
Pittsburgh at Iowa
After next Saturday, the Big Ten will have played 14 games against Power Five opponents. This is the most of any conference. The Big Ten is 3-2 against the PAC-12, 1-1 against the Big 12, 1-0 against the ACC, and 0-1 against the SEC. So far, this is not bad. It would be nice to have a good weekend though.
The Big 12 plays a total of eight (8!) Power 5 teams all year! Sickeningly, this includes upcoming games against Maryland, Rutgers, California, and Arkansas. They are 2-2 against Minnesota (W), Tennessee (W), Iowa (L), and Notre Dame (L). Of course, the match-ups are Texas vs. California, Kansas at Rutgers, Texas Tech at Arkansas, and West Virginia vs. Maryland. We can hope for a 1-3.
Anyway, for all the complaining, the Big Ten gets to make its case for being the second-best conference or the fifth-best over the next two weeks.
