If we want to get NET rankings for all B1G OOC opponents, I'll compile a list but I'm not looking up 11 or 12 opponents each for 13 more teams.
I read that UW is not gonna play UWGB or Milwaukee any time soon. Might be some bad blood there.
I tried to look this up for Wisconsin but the only announced OOC games that I saw were:
- #5 Tennessee at home
- #10 Arizona away
- #12 Marquette at home
- #51 Providence away
Then, within the Gavitt Games apparently the Badgers will play two out of three of #24 WVU, #29 UVA, and #209 SMU
Do you
@847badgerfan or
@bayareabadger know who the rest of UW's OOC opponents are going to be?
The format I am looking to create is:

Notes:
- As part of the Emerald Coast Classic Ohio State will play either #45 Oregon or #87 Santa Clara so I've listed that as playing 1/2 game against each.
- As part of the Gavitt Games Wisconsin will play two-out-of-three of #24 WVU, #29 UVA, and #209 SMU so I've listed that as playing 2/3 game against each.
I'd be interested in getting this compiled for all 14 B1G teams to be able to compare.
I don't think that Ohio State's OOC schedule is particularly weak. As
@bayareabadger pointed out:
But that top of the list is solid.
I agree, the top end is really solid with games against #2 Bama, #4 UCLA, #24 WVU, #28 aTm, and either #45 Oregon or #87 Santa Clara. However there is no "middle" and six games against punching bags does seem excessive as BAB said:
It gets weird at the bottom because you’re trying to decide if there’s that much difference between six or four or five body bag games. Like, four is low. Six is a tad high.
Part of the problem is that Ohio State, probably mostly coincidentally, is playing three of last year's four worst MAC teams. Here are the final NET rankings for the MAC:
- 68 Kent
- 82 Toledo
- 105 Akron
- 133 Ohio
- 156 Ball State
- 194 Buffalo
- 255 NIU
- 286 BGSU
- 287 MiamiOH
- 321 EMU
- 326 WMU
- 331 CMU
The Buckeyes OOC schedule would look a lot better if they were instead playing three of last year's four best MAC teams:
- #68 Kent instead of #331 CMU
- #82 Toledo instead of #326 WMU
- #133 Ohio instead of #287 Ohio
