The Big Ten released the 2018 and 2019 schedules. The conference has always released future schedules a lot earlier than most and given that they want to start scheduling some conference games earlier season, they are trying to get further ahead so non-conference games can be properly planned around with plenty of notice.
For 2018/2019, these are the highlights I've taken away.
1. We can see a lot more of the effects of "dynamic" scheduling they have been talking about with the 9 game conference schedule. For the first 4 years of the set-up (2016-2019), every team has one team in the other division they play all 4 years. They are Ohio State/Nebraska, Michigan/Wisconsin, Penn State/Iowa, Maryland/Minnesota, Michigan State/Northwestern, Illinois/Rutgers, Purdue/Indiana (locked crossover).
2. There was talk about how the season ending games would go in both the east and the west. In the west, they decided to keep Nebraska/Iowa and Wisconsin/Minnesota.
3. In the east, it's looking like a full rotation is going to occur between Michigan State, Penn State, Maryland, and Rutgers. We already knew in 2017 that Penn State was playing Maryland instead of Michigan State. Now we know in 2018, Penn State finishes again with Maryland and then in 2019 finishes with Rutgers. That means we'll probably see Penn State travel to Rutgers to end the season in 2020 and then start back with Michigan State in 2021.
4. More early season games, but not big ones. In the first 3 weeks of the season (where we would normally have non-conference play with a 9 game schedule), we have a few conference games. In 2018, we have Rutgers playing at Ohio State in week 2. In 2019, we have Rutgers play at Iowa week 2 and Ohio State play at Indiana week 3. I suspect we'll see a lot more of this in future years.
