The Michigan football team is getting ready for an abbreviated 2020 season, but what games are toughest on their schedule?

The Big Ten schedule 3.0 came out a little over a week ago and a lot has been made about it. Nebraska is complaining about opening the season with Ohio State. Almost everyone is thinking the Big Ten is protecting the Buckeyes because their crossover games are against Illinois and Nebraska.

While it is doubtful that the Big Ten purposely protected the Buckeyes, it is a fact that they have an easier schedule than the Wolverines.
