Not sure how accurate this is but QB11 posted Oregon's supposed 2026 schedule, but we'll find out for sure at 2:30 PM PT. If true though, Oregon would get their bye in early October and then have to play 8 straight games to finish the year. November would be especially tough with Ohio State and Michigan in back to back weekends.

They just confirmed that this is the schedule on Big Ten network. The first 8 games are looking pretty easy, but @Ohio State, hosting Michigan (and Whittingham), traveling to Michigan St, and hosting the Fuskies is a brutal way to end the year.

-Ohio State has to play at USC the week before Oregon, who'll be coming off a Halloween game with Northwestern and new OC Chip Kelly.
-Only two teams have a bye week before playing Oregon (UCLA & Illinois) but Oregon will be coming off their bye week too before facing UCLA.
-Oregon could still potentially have a Friday game but that won't be announced until late May.

The B1G did a much better job mixing up the travel dates and the byes. Oregon does not travel two weeks in a row. Only two teams have byes prior to playing Oregon...UCLA (we have them after our bye as well) and Illinois.

Only real negative I see is that the only bye week is after week 4, which means closing the regular season with games eight straight weeks.

With the exception of UCLA and Michigan State, 6 of the final 8 games of the season will be against teams who played in a Bowl game this year.

Our depth will be tested. I almost wish we had a cupcake or a second bye week during that stretch for player recovery.

It’s almost as if the SEC knew what they were doing before going to 9 conference games…

I feel the opposite. They backloaded our schedule:
-No BYE week for final 8 games
-3 of our last 6 games are road games on Eastern side of USA. That's 11,500 miles of traveling within a MONTH!!!

I'm appalled they didn't put they BYE week between some of the Eastern USA road trips. Or at least at the bare minimum, not have the USC game in between those 3 other road games to help break us up traveling an insane amount.

Also don't love that Illinois has a bye week before hosting us. I know they lose Altmeyer, but Bielema is a lot like Ferentz where he always pumps out steady teams and will occasionally knock off a big team.

I like that we play UW the week after they play Indiana. Hoping Indiana roughs them up and/or demoralizes them the week before we play UW.

Rankings games by toughest to easiest:
@ Ohio State
vs Michigan
@ USC
vs Washington
@ Illinois
vs UCLA
@ Oklahoma State
vs Boise State
@ Michigan State
vs Nebraska
vs Northwestern
vs Portland State

Thoughts? I might have Boise and OK State too high. But Boise always proves to be a tough game for us. And OK State on the road with Mestemaker having a hot game could give us a surprising test.

I probably don't know enough about each team's outlook for next year, but I would think both Nebraska and Northwestern could be a little higher.
