Five B1G teams - including both Ohio State and Wisconsin - don't play a single P5 non-conference opponent, and two teams - Indiana and Minnesota - play no P5's AND get an FCS game too. I wrote about it on ACCFootballRx and came to this conclusion myself:

Quote:The Big Ten has played a very easy non-conference schedule for many years, but the 2019 schedule may be the softest schedule they've ever played as a group. Just remember this: if the Big Ten Championship Game comes down to Ohio State vs. Wisconsin, no matter what the teams' overall record, they will have ZERO P5 non-conference wins between them!

Given that a Buckeyes/Badgers CCG is a VERY real possibility... will that result in the Big Ten missing the playoffs yet again?

If Big Ten teams don't play a P5 game OOC, then they will play as many P5 opponents total as most of the ACC and SEC.

But most of them do...which means that most of them will play more P5 opponents than the SEC and ACC. Let THAT stat lead as your headline, please.
