No OSU, No PeddState, No UM.
I LOVE this schedule. Likely travel to Blacksburg and USC.
Bye week after 1st 2 weeks im like "the Rutgers screw again"
Then I got the rest of the story, That 2nd bye week couldn't come at a better time

2024 schedule - is that what its like to be in the Big10 West?
On paper, noticeably easier than the ridiculous meat-grinder we have been put through year-after-year in this conference.

Not bad, but feel RU playing Michigan State last game isn't a good move in my opinion.
Maryland would make a better opponent for last conference game.
MSU replacing PSU on the schedule seems strange
Doubtful IMO - that's not often played the week after another home game. I bet it is Wisconsin on Oct 12.
Fun schedule. Freaking hard, but so nice to not have OSU, Mich and PSU for one season.
I am curious why we have two bye weeks. Does RU play week zero?

It looks like we replaced OSU, PSU, and Michigan with Washington, USC, and UCLA. Not that much of a break there but it could have been worse - we could have gotten Oregon instead of UCLA.
I already made hotel reservations to go see us play the Trojans in LA so awesome to be in the Big Ten.
Agreed. As long as we're playing each other annually, might as well be the final week.
Nice that we don't face anyone coming off a bye next year. Every B1G opponent plays a B1G opponent the week before they play us.
Washington hosts Northwestern
Nebraska is at Purdue - good chance we will be Nebraska's homecoming game
Wisconsin hosts Purdue
UCLA hosts Minnesota
USC is at Maryland - will this be their homecoming? Their other home games are 9/28 Wisconsin and 10/12 Penn State.
bye week
Minnesota is at Illinois
Maryland is at Oregon
Illinois hosts Michigan State
Michigan State hosts Purdue
Oregon has eight straight games without a bye.

I live in Santa Monica, so I can only make a limited Rutgers games in person. This new B10 conference and its's schedule is just great. I am so looking forward to seeing Rutgers as well as OSU, MU, PSU, and Wisc without taking cross-country flights.
Agreed. I was thinking about driving up from San Diego County to see USC/Washington Saturday but I think I’ll save my first game there for RU/USC
Not sure if you're joking or not.
We played Howard a few times during GS 1.0. A HBCU in Washington, DC. Their most famous alum in current events is VP Kamala Harris.
Hopefully they will bring their band and Oh-La-La Girls.
Huge relief. I was expecting the B1G screw from Rosemont looking like this:
Away at Ohio State
Away at Michigan
Away at Penn State
Away at Iowa
Homecoming vs USC
Away at Oregon
Away at Washington
Away at Wisconsin
Away at UCLA
Away at Ohio State
Away at Michigan
Away at Penn State
Away at Iowa
Homecoming vs USC
Away at Oregon
Away at Washington
Away at Wisconsin
Away at UCLA
Nope. Everyone gets two bye weeks because that's the way the calendar falls. The first full weekend of the season is always Labor Day weekend. The last weekend of the season is always Thanksgiving weekend. In most years, that timespan encompasses 13 weekends. In 2024, it's 14.
I don’t know how anyone can complain about the schedule. It’s laid out perfectly. The only place on earth anybody cares whether we play Maryland or Michigan State last game of the season is right here. The two bye weeks? One before Virginia Tech and the other before Minnesota? Perfect. Southern Cal at the Colosseum end of October? Perfect. October, not September or November, as the most difficult month? Perfect. Going to Blacksburg at the end of September? I can’t even imagine how beautiful that area is at that time of year. Haven’t been near there since I was a little kid.
And don’t get me wrong, I would prefer we play Maryland every year, last game, but it is what it is. Going to East Lansing and knocking them off for a New Year’s Day bowl game? How ******* sweet would that be!!!

I mean, let’s be honest in an 18-team conference you’re not gonna get the 100% perfect perfect schedule, ever, but this is about as good as we can possibly ask for in my humble opinion. Obviously people will disagree. Whatever. I love it.
USC and Washington will have new QBs next year who can’t be as good as their QBs this year.
I was joking, but after seeing my response I realized I missed a few words as well as the point. DOH!
