The Columbus Dispatch released a list of all of the “one plays” on next year’s Big Ten schedule. The list looks like good news for Michigan who will play Illinois and Purdue only once. Illinois will play at Ann Arbor while the Purdue game will be a re-match of Elbow-Gate back in West Lafayette. Michigan will play every other team in the conference twice.
This is a good draw because Michigan doesn’t have to worry about playing bottom feeders only once (Indiana last year). The Purdue home game was probably a chance for a quality win which may be a slight loss. However, it seems like Michigan never wins at Illinois so that’s definitely a positive.
Here’s the full list of “one plays”:
Ohio State at Michigan State
Northwestern at Ohio State
Illinois at Michigan
Minnesota at Illinois
Indiana at Penn State
Michigan State at Indiana
Iowa at Wisconsin
Penn State at Iowa
Michigan at Purdue
Purdue at Northwestern
Wisconsin at Minnesota
This finalizes Michigan’s 2009-2010 schedule except for the actual dates and times of conference games.
