Hopefully they take advantage of that this year b/c in '08/'09 they play at USC for their third game and in '09/'10 they play USC at home in their second game.
I really do love those powerhouse matchups early in the season... the OSU/Texas games were great to watch and really upped the intensity. While there might not be a marquee game like that this year, it does seem like most top 25 teams are scheduling at least one decent non-conference game this season.
That said, I think Wisconsin is the team to beat in the Big Ten this year... they should be solid all-around, and if they can survive trips to Columbus and State College they might be in the mix for the title game.
