On Thursday, the Big Ten Conference released the conference opponents for each of the 14 teams for the upcoming season.
The Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans will see each other twice during the regular season as they are protected rivals when it comes to scheduling.
The Wolverines and Spartans each face off against Big Ten standout Illinois in home/away contests. Michigan State will play Ohio State once next season; Michigan will see its longtime rival from Columbus twice.
Michigan's one-off opponents at home will be Maryland, Minnesota, and Northwestern.
