Average NET Opponent

Listed from easiest (Wisconsin and Minnesota) to most difficult remaining schedule (Indiana and Purdue), without any difference paid to location. The home-away splits for the remaining games are listed further down the page.


Average NET Opponent Remaining:

14. Wisconsin 65.5 average

13. Minnesota 65.1 average

----------------------

12. Penn State 58.6 average

11. Michigan 56.0 average

10. Maryland 55.3 average

9. Illinois 54.4 average

----------------------

8. Northwestern 43.6 average

7. Ohio State 42.2 average

6. Iowa 41.6 average

5. Rutgers 41.1 average

4. Nebraska 40.6 average

3. Michigan State 40.4 average

----------------------

2. Purdue 33.3 average

1. Indiana 28.8 average



What it means: Indiana and Purdue have the toughest hills to climb without the luxury of facing either Northwestern or Nebraska. But each has just four remaining road games, and the Boilermakers already have six wins under its belt. Saturday's showdown looms large, especially for Indiana at home.

Remaining B1G Schedules 

The remaining schedules for all 14 B1G teams can be found below.

Pay particular attention to the remaining number of total games, as well as the number of home games left for each program listed below.

Also note which teams draw Nebraska and Northwestern, the two worst teams in the conference, and the frequency. Remember, due to an unbalanced schedule in the first place, and games already played, not every team has the same opponents left.

Nebraska and Northwestern have a combined winning percentage of .136 in the B1G this season. It's a considerable advantage to see one of those two squads when you're chasing ten B1G wins. To draw both down the stretch is a stroke of luck for B1G teams in the middle of the pack (Wisconsin, Minnesota) or hunting a title (Penn State, Illinois, or Maryland).

What it means: Wisconsin is in a good spot with eight games left on the docket and five home games. With the easiest remaining average opponent, thanks to drawing Northwestern and Nebraska once each down the stretch, 11 wins or more could be in sight for Greg Gard's group, even after its recent adversity. Wisconsin has won on the road in the B1G enough to know what it takes to get it done in Lincoln, which is one of the three road games. Things are setting up nicely for the Badgers. Could it reach 12 B!G wins?

Neither Maryland nor Michigan State have an easy road to the 2020 crown. Both have five more road games, which is tied for the most of any B1G team with Michigan, whose at-large hopes look shaky right now with just four Big Ten wins and five road games left on the schedule.
