Since the Big Ten welcomed four new members from the West Coast last season, the Big Ten’s other 14 teams have lost far more often than they have won when traveling to play a regular-season game in the Pacific Time Zone.
Since the beginning of the 2024 season, Big Ten teams from the Eastern and Central time zones are just 3-13 when traveling to the West Coast to play opponents from the Pacific Time Zone during the regular season. Ohio State suffered one of those 13 losses last season when it lost to Oregon, 32-31, in Eugene last October.
