How the 20-Game Big Ten Schedule Works
With 18 teams, the Big Ten plays a 20-game conference schedule. Each team has three double-play opponents it faces home and away, and 14 single-play opponents it sees just once, split between home and road. The West Coast additions – UCLA, USC, Oregon and Washington – are fully woven into the rotation, and they double-play one another to hold down travel.
