Due to COVID, the 2020 football schedule got pretty messed up. It’s therefore been said that the 2021 schedule for the Big Ten will be rearranged, to make up for home-and-away series. Will this end up changing the actual crossover opponents? Time will tell, but for now let’s assume that won’t be the case, and take a way-too-early look at Penn State’s schedule in the fall of 2021.

Let me just say, I really like the idea of starting with a Big Ten game. Usually the first week of the season is a bit full of creampuffs, and a game like this increases national exposure.
