UMD @ Duke
MSU vs. UL
Wiscy @ NC State
pu @ Syracuse
Iowa vs. ND
UM @ Pitt
OSU vs. UNC
NW @ BC
Minnie vs. Miami
PSU @ Georgia Tech
Neb vs. Clemson
Rut. vs. Wake Forest

Would be tough for the Big Ten to win the challenge with that line up.

Both are due for a road game.

Both are due for a road game.

Just realized I missed that. Good catch.

I would bet that IU plays @ NC State....

Works out perfectly, they are due a Home game, we are due a road game. Both teams finished 7th in their respective conference this past year. Both are expected to be better next year.

 

** Also the alternating Home/Away is typically tried to achieve but it isn't a necessary part of the equation (Duke played at home in both 2012 & 2013) so Wisky/ND would be a great matchup but I am guessing Wisky will get UVA and Duke/Maryland will play, and ND will end up playing MSU

I thought they paired them by projected finish instead of previous year finish.

I honestly have not located any written policy on matchups.

When do we start playing Kansas?

I believe this is correct.

Wrong thread for this question.

It's a made for TV event. Whatever will draw the best ratings = the games they choose.

UNC supposed to be real good and OSU won't be ranked so would this really happen?

It's just a guess.  Only two teams (MSU, Iowa) in the projected top half of the B1G have home games next season.  Iowa played UNC last season, MSU played @ND, and OSU had UL.  I'm just taking a stab at it.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

If Yogi comes back we should be highly ranked. My guess is we get a marquee match-up----like Duke or UV or UNC.

It's great to be considered in that company again.

When do these pairings normally come out?
