Mar. 22—***
In the next two weeks-ish, I will be ranking each Big Ten team's best nonconference game.
Quick recap: No, 1 Ohio State at Texas, Sept. 12.
2. Michigan vs. Oklahoma, Sept. 12
3. Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame, Sept 6
4. Michigan State at Notre Dame, Sept. 19.
5. Purdue vs. Notre Dame, Sept. 26.
6. Oregon vs. Boise State, Sept. 5.
7. Illinois vs. Duke, Sept. 12.
The bitterness of the Iowa-Iowa State football rivalry dates back more than a century, to 1894 when the teams first played.
So, now that the Cyclones have a new coach, Jimmy Rogers, don't expect the feelings to fall away. If anything, it will get even more intense.
Rogers replaces Matt Campbell, who left Ames for Penn State. Sorry, Iowa fans, but the Nittany Lions aren't on the schedule this season. You will have to wait a minute to get after Campbell again.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, the Big Ten's all-time leader in wins, is apparently in no hurry to retire. Maybe it is all those fun Cy-Hawk games, which usually go down to the wire.
Iowa State is by far the most difficult opponent on the nonconference schedule, which includes Northern Illinois and Northern Iowa. All three games are at Kinnick Stadium.
The schedule catches could catch up to Iowa once Big Ten play starts on Sept. 26. The Hawkeyes open with Michigan in Ann Arbor, followed by a visit frm Ohio State and a trip to Washington. Illinois is also on the schedule.
