One place where Ohio State easily beats Michigan. 

For each conference they list the toughest and weakest OOC schedules. For the B1G:
"Big Ten
Toughest schedule -- Ohio State: The showdown with the Fighting Irish gives the Buckeyes the nod here. Other than Michigan State's home game with No. 10 Washington and Minnesota at North Carolina, there is little in terms of marquee matchups for the league this season. Honorable mention goes to Purdue for being the only Big Ten team to schedule two Power Five opponents. The Boilermakers' third game is against reigning Mountain West champion Fresno State.
Weakest schedule -- Michigan: The No. 2 Wolverines are not just champions of the Big Ten on the field, they're also champions of soft nonconference scheduling. This season, they host East Carolina, UNLV and Bowling Green. Michigan is the only Big Ten team without a Power Five opponent on its nonconference schedule."

It is pathetic that our two-time defending Champions and favorite to win the league have one of the worst OOC schedules in the country.

I think Penn State is going to be really good, but they just have to prove it and go win the B1G by beating M/OSU. With regards to OSU/Mich- Franklin is at where Jeem was at in regards to facing Ohio State- no benefits of the doubt given- nobody had any reason to believe- just have to prove it and stfu and just go do it before anyone will actually believe it.

Franklin is 1-8 vs Ohio State and 3-6 vs Michigan- and one of those wins vs Michigan was that f'd up COVID year when Jeem went 2-4 and had by far the worst team he's ever had at Michigan...if you take that one out and Franklin is 2-6 vs M....which is not great...and half those losses were smack downs.... 49-10 (2016), 42-7 (2018), and 41-17 (2022- honestly should've been even worse- like 55-7).

They absolutely have the talent to do it, but should anyone really believe it until they actually you know...actually go do it?

  • MICHIGAN - This is their all in year.  They get OSU at home, roster is loaded, with a lot of turnover (including coach?) after the year
  • OHIO STATE - really nothing Ryan Day can do to win back the doubters until the Saturday after Thanksgiving
  • PENN STATE - could really use a divisionless format this year
  • WISCONSIN - not quite RichRod replacing Carr, but still interested to see what the offense looks like
  • IOWA - the Brian Ferentz ppg chase at least gives you something to watch for
  • MINNESOTA - with the divisions going away, probably their last chance to play for a conference title
  • MARYLAND - certainly the offensive coaching room of fallen stars
  • ILLINOIS - pretty low ceiling, but impressive what good coaching can do with nominal talent
  • MICHIGAN STATE - finally have some returning talent in the trenches, we'll see if it matters
  • PURDUE - time to see how important Brohm was to the gameday operation, Hudson Card might be the most underrated transfer
  • NEBRASKA - still can't believe Frost didn't work out
  • INDIANA - Tom Allen has to fix the defense, which allowed 30+ points to 9 of 11 FBS opponents
  • RUTGERS - well, at least they aren't the ones getting all the negative headlines
  • NORTHWESTERN - that would be this school, which has also lost 17 in a row on American soil
