When you see SEC scores like last week, you know something has changed.
Sure. But what exactly, that's deeply unclear.

It's funny, but to cross thread for half a moment, sports taught me a great deal of how to consume pandemic news. Sports fans are very quick to assign reasons to thing that happen in games and big moment, when the answer is often, that's just how it happened. It's been the same way with the news of different spread. People have been quick to assign reasons to things happening here vs. there (often self-serving ones) and sometimes it's a case that the thing just hasn't happened at that place yet.

The Big Ten Conference announced on Monday morning that Nebraska's matchup with Iowa will be played on Friday, Nov. 27 in Iowa City. Kickoff time will be announced at a later date and the game will be televised by FOX or FS1.

The Big Ten West rivals have met on Black Friday each year since the Huskers joined the Big Ten and the 2020 matchup will mark the 10th straight season Nebraska and Iowa have squared off on the day after Thanksgiving. Overall, this will mark the 31st straight season Nebraska has played on Black Friday, dating back to the 1990 season. In addition to 10 matchups with Iowa, the Huskers played Colorado for 15 straight seasons from 1996 to 2010, and met Oklahoma six consecutive years from 1990 to 1995.

Monday's announcement was part of several special date games and kickoff time and television announcements by the Big Ten. The Big Ten's announcement of Week 1 television and kickoff times included the previously announced Husker game at Ohio State, which will be televised nationally on FOX, with kickoff set for 11 a.m. CDT. Start times and television information for the remainder of Nebraska's 2020 games will be announced six to 12 days in advance of kickoff.

Maybe contact in practice is limited?
More like you can't have contact without practice.  How many hours of practice time was missed in the Spring and Fall?  Tackling drills actually help?!  Who'da thunk it?!?

That's why I hope the big 10 dozen screw around with Nebraska Iowa on Black Friday, it feels like a fairly natural replacement there. And maybe the next generation will learn to associate it just like mine did with Nebraskan Colorado and prior generations with Nebraska Oklahoma

yup, it seems odd to me that Husker fans and ADs have had to push so hard to make this happen

the Big Ten commish past and present should understand traditions have value

the Hawkeye's AD should understand the advantages of playing on Friday to national audiences as opposed to playing Saturday to regional viewers

7. Rutgers

8. Illinois

9. Iowa

Weird to me that Ohio State is ranked so low compared to UNC.  

Not really.  Rankings are silly.
