Would we rather be in Louisville or Omaha?

That's the most heavily Midwestern collection of first round sites there's ever been, surely. All of the sites are kinda smushed to the middle of the country generally.

Louisville; down 57, east on 64, south on 65.

I want the real Big Ten back :cry:

Like, what do you mean Michigan and Indiana don't come to Champaign?

Could be a lot worse... We won't be going to MSU or Nebraska... and only one game on the West Coast. The 3 teams we get to play twice are one's you might pick if given the option. (Purdue and Wisconsin certainly don't look as good on paper this year...I'm not sure how many B1G level players Northwestern will even have..)

Sheesh that is a light B1G schedule. Purdue will be decent but they will take a step back with Smith and TKR gone. Northwestern is dead in the water for the foreseeable future and Wisconsin doesn't seem to have improved much.

If the goal is purely winning the conference (vs stacking as many high end games with chances to win), this will do it.

Only game on paper we’d likely to be worse than 50/50 odds would be at Michigan.
