2019 version would've been:

Ohio State 9-0 vs. Wisconsin 7-2
Penn State 7-2 vs. Minnesota 7-2
Michigan 6-3 vs. Iowa 6-3
Indiana 5-4 vs. Illinois 4-5
Michigan State 4-5 vs. Purdue 3-6
Maryland 1-8 vs. Nebraska 3-6
Rutger 0-9 vs. Northwestern 1-8
How is home team determined?

I thought the "make sure all the players get it over the summer so they're back in time for the season" strategy was supposed to be a joke?

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29892180/lsu-coach-ed-orgeron-most-team-contracted-coronavirus

I don't know if it's a strategy so much as kids being kids.  We're seeing cases all over college campuses, not just the athletic teams, and if you did antibody testing of the entire college student population I suspect you'd find a very large number have already had it.

This is exactly what I (and many others) predicted would happen, back in March.

I'll admit I'm not quite sure what to think about it.

Still, I'm surprised that the presidents are going this way given that campus-driven outbreaks are still going strong in Madison, IC, and East Lansing (and possibly Champaign).
supposedly the vote was unanimous 

HAH!!!

Yeah, you don't need to worry about them.

I'd be more concerned with the college kids sharing beer bongs and doing tequila shots out of each others' ass-cracks.

The fun part is that we get to worry about all of them.

Maryland 1-8 vs. Nebraska 3-6
Rutger 0-9 vs. Northwestern 1-8

I have a hunch the champions round will have some flexibility to avoid rematches

PSU already played Minny and Iowa
Iowa already played Mich and PSU

So in 2019
PSU should play ILL
Minn should play Mich
Iowa should play Indy

Of course in 2019 there was already 3 cross-overs so the chance of a rematch is higher than with a potential 8-game schedule

I'm under the impression, they still don't know what they are doing, but "unanimously" approved to release a statement, to get the "let 'em play" crowd off their backs. 
They now sit back and hope like hell the the $EC cancels their season, so they can clamor about how right they were as they re-cancel.  Just my cynical side showing up.

Sadly, I'm afraid this is exactly what's going to happen.

The Missouri Tigers will be without 12 players for their season opener against Alabama on Sept. 26 after the team's most recent tests for COVID-19, first-year coach Eli Drinkwitz said Wednesday.

Love the last name, and he should be a future Big Ten coach some day.  Probably Wisconsin would be the best fit.
