At least the bye weeks are timed nicely.

OOC is weak but in conference schedule is reasonably tough. All 3 of this years playoff teams. Away game at Iowa. Next year is always Nebraska's year, so maybe next year is Nebraska's year?

Maryland drops off, which means they;re going to get 2 years of ass whoopings in 2026.

Just looking this over...again, only one home game in October. For the whiteout, only NW at home between Sept 27 Oregon and Indiana on November 8th. Only four away games. Start with four games in a row at home and end with two home games.

Looks like playoff schedule to me

I think a trip to the UCLA game in October would be nice if tickets are hard to come by or incredibly expensive for Oregon @ home in Sept.

I know it's early but PSU- Oregon a Big1o Title rematch in late September for a Whiteout would be cool - hopefully not a Big Noon Game.

 

[NittanyChris]

Oregon HAS to be the whiteout game, no?

 

[LandoComando]

If we demand it in prime time probably Indiana

Hopefully not Big Noon. Perhaps there will be another matchup that weekend FOX wants.

Assuming Indiana takes a step back this is a good setup for a playoff run. It's an advantage to have the hardest games Nov 1 and earlier. Late season losses can be crushing, this gives time to build positive momentum prior to the postseason even with losses to teams like Oregon and OSU. I don't know that the committee would admit it, but when you lose also matters to them.

Fox will have us at noon vs Oregon so the WO could be Indiana on 11/8.

Indiana may take a step back but it will depend on their ability to land transfers from the portal. I expect UCLA to take a step forward and that game coming off the Oregon game might be a trap game. At Iowa is never fun and of course until we prove otherwise the automatic loss in Columbus. Who knows what the roster looks like come 2025, I'm a little suspect we'll be a true contender next year but time will tell. Too much ahead of us in 2024 to think about 2025.

Looks like a pretty tough schedule.

5 away games, not 4.

 

[wilbury]

Looks like a pretty tough schedule.

We play 1/4 of this year's playoff teams.

 

[Obliviax]

We play 1/4 of this year's playoff teams.

It will be interesting if Indy can recapture this years lightening in a bottle for next year. oregon has gone back to back heisman candidate transfer QBs with Nix and Gabriel. The success of xfer quarterbacks this and last year has been amazing. Can Oregon get that kind of quarterbacking again for next year?

I read, last year, 60% of Div 1 starting QBs had transferred into their starting position.

 

[LandoComando]

Looks like a pretty tough schedule.

10-2 at worst

 

[LMTLION]

Looks like a pretty tough schedule.

This is a relatively easy schedule, guaranteeing a playoff run unless we really screw things up.

We could have a lot of holes to fill next year - some may come back but if we lose the QB/2 RB's/ TE/and Carter that's a ton of talent to replace.

There is, but QB seems solid between Beau and Grunk, a ton of talent in the rb room, even more talent at TE, and OL will be very solid. With a strong portal WR, the offense may be better next year . Carter is a tremendous loss, and I do have some concerns about the defense. Overall, there are a lot of reasons to be optimistic about next year, and the schedule will help facilitate success.

All fair but you reload you don't rebuild
That schedule is 10-2 worst case on paper
