The upcoming 2024 Big Ten football season is gonna be wild, my friend! They’re introducing the Flex Protect Plus model, which brings a mix of protected opponents and rotating opponents for universities. Each school will play a total of nine games against teams in their conference. And get this, they’ll play each conference opponent at least twice in a five-year span. Some serious competition, huh?
Now, let’s talk matchups. The schedule will include 12 protected games that will be played every year. These games will feature both historic and geographic rivalries, as well as some intense trophy battles. And you can bet your bottom dollar that the crosstown rivalry between USC and UCLA is gonna be on that list.
Now, mark your calendars because the 2024 season will end with a bang. We’re talking about the Big Ten Football Championship Game, where the top two teams in the overall conference standings will battle it out for the coveted Big Ten Championship. Who will come out on top? We’ll have to wait and find out, my friend.
Oh, and don’t worry about the specific game dates just yet. They’ll be announced later this year. So stay tuned and get ready for some awesome Big Ten football action!
