Why Indiana? I would guess Maryland or Michigan. Both Maryland and the Huskers were the sixth-best teams in their respective divisions, so that makes sense from a scheduling parity standpoint. Our last games against MSU and Indiana were both in Lincoln, so I would think they wouldn't want to have that happen. Our last games against Michigan and Maryland were both away, so those seem more likely to me.If they do what makes sense, our extra game is home against Indiana.
My cynical side is waiting for them to chuck another L our way, it feels like the B1G almost enjoys putting Nebraska in its place after having to look up at the Huskers in the final polls a couple times in the 90s. Beat out Penn St for the NC in 94, split it with Michigan in 97. They got the shaft for weak Rose Bowl matchups with so-so Pac-10 teams while NU dominated the Big 8 and got to play top ranked teams in the Orange Bowl.
Only thing that’s for certain is all of our divisional foes will be played early and first. They will want those games played and out of the way. Then it will be the cross over games. I hope we catch Iowa in game 2. It would be nice to catch them while they are breaking in their new QB and new faces.
The extra game will more then likely be Maryland or MSUcks. It won’t be Michigan or Indiana....
1620 was saying the Power 5 conferences will have staggered starts:
Week 0: Big 12
Week 1: Big Ten (Labor Day)
Week 2: ACC
Week 3: Pac-12
Week 4: SEC
Oh, I’d love to get another shot at Indiana for revenge, believe that. But we played them in Lincoln last year and our extra game will be a home game. So unless they give Indiana back to back away games against us...then I don’t see it happening. Because we have 5 away games and 4 homes games this year in the BIG 10 conference. Our extra one will have to be a home game to even it out.
Why not Indiana ? Where playing Sparty next year along with Michigan and we already played Maryland there last year.
I see your point, but the next time they play again in 2022 is also in Lincoln so more than likely they would have to change future schedule’s and that won’t happen..Next time Maryland plays in Lincoln is 2023, and the conference has us playing MSU next year in East Lansing and again in East Lansing in 2023..
Sparty would be the right choice..
huskerssalts, Nebraska also played in Happy Valley two, consecutive time also..2013 and 2017..
Penn St finally visits Nebraska since 2012..
I was hoping we could start complaining about our schedule and how the Big 10 hates us before the schedule was announced. Might as well start the inevitable!

If there going to do division games first would they use the normal schedule and go down the line of division games..
Another words first 6 games..
Purdue
At NW
Illinois
At Iowa
At Wisconsin
Minnesota
that’s what I was wondering too. Would they keep some of the games the same or will they alter things all the way around. One thing is for certain, we will play the West teams before we play the East teams. But I honestly hope we catch Purdue game 1 and hopefully Iowa game 2....fingers crossed on that happening.
Wouldn’t know why they would move the Purdue game. And I don’t know why they would put the Iowa game ahead of NW or Illinois..
Iowa division schedule
At Minnesota
Michigan St
Northwestern
At Illinois
Nebraska
At Purdue
Wisconsin
Iowa would get one more home game in the division.
It would be nice to catch Iowa after Purdue with a new redshirt QB..
“It would be nice to catch Iowa after Purdue with a new redshirt QB“ And this right there is why I’m hoping it works out that way. No clue if we’d get that lucky or not...but one can hope.
Last time we played Sparty it was in Lincoln in the flurries, our kicker actually won it for us (2018).
An easy logistical road trip would be MI and MSU back to back, 50 miles apart, Detroit hotels and football stadium to practice in, classes on line. I really think it wouldn't be to bad, get rid of 2 road opponents and neither named OSU or PSU.
Aside from the travel factor - is playing a michigan - PSU - OSU or even Iowa on the road not that big a deal this year given greatly diminished crowds.
I would rather play Michigan in AA this year vs next year if much bigger crowd capacities are allowed.
If they do what makes sense, our extra game is home against Indiana.

Who will we be playing on Black Friday?
So IF we play our first game won't be until late Sept at the earliest?
I haven't followed the other conferences but the BIG has had Rutgers and MSU football and Iowa basketball have to place their entire teams in quarantine --- have other conference had this many?
B1G is NOT being very decisive. "Impending" doesn't seem very likely for announcing a schedule at this point. I strongly suspect that they will delay the start of Fall Camps given that they're getting up against the wall timing wise but will keep deferring a decision on the actual season.
