Ranking the Big Ten nonconference schedules - Big Ten - ESPN

Ranking the Big Ten nonconference schedules - Big Ten - ESPN: "Now it's time to get more specific and look at the nonconference schedules for each Big Ten team. The Big Ten has taken a lot of heat for softening its nonleague slates, though other BCS conferences, namely the SEC, are also guilty of the practice."

Iowa comes in at number 5. Northern Iowa is one of the best D1-AA teams every year but granted they shouldn't be a problem for the Hawks. Arizona is a much improved team and this is the first year of the series. Iowa State has a new HC but they are always geared up for the Hawks and even more in Ames. OSU #4 but outside of USC they have a cakewalk. At #3 is Minnesota, what a joke! They play Cal and that is it! If Air Force gives them a run then they will be at the bottom of the Big Ten again. Purdue should maybe be #1 with ND and at Oregon.

Depends on how ND does this year, the Big Ten could have the easiest nonconference schedule out of all the conferences!
