The Big Ten has announced the football schedule for the 2025 season.
Notable matchups include Penn State hosting Oregon on Sept. 27 in a Big Ten Championship rematch. The Ducks defeated the Nittany Lions 45-37 in this year's showdown to move to 13-0 before rolling into the College Football Playoff as the No. 1 seed.
Ohio State has a few big games on deck, including a home matchup with Penn State on Nov. 1. The Buckeyes have owned that rivalry of late, winning 11 of the past 12 games and eight straight overall. OSU took down PSU 20-13 in Happy Valley this year.
The Buckeyes will also look to break their four-game losing streak against Michigan on Nov. 29. This year saw the Wolverines stun the Buckeyes 13-10 in Ohio Stadium.
That game ended with an attempted flag plant at midfield and an ensuing confrontation which led to both schools being fined $100,000 apiece.
There's obviously no love lost between those two hated rivals, so it'll be interesting to see how the follow-up goes in Ann Arbor.
Michigan will also be making its first-ever visit to California for a Big Ten game on Oct. 11 when the Wolverines visit USC. Michigan took down USC 27-24 at home this year.
Elsewhere, Oregon also has a tough matchup at home against Indiana, which went 11-1 and ended with the No. 10 seed in the CFP. The Hoosiers' tough road slate continues on Nov. 8 when the team visits Penn State.
Circling back to the Ducks, Oregon closes out the Big Ten slate next year with matchups against some ex-Pac-12 rivals in USC (home, Nov. 22) and Washington (road, Nov. 29).
All roads still lead to Indianapolis, where Lucas Oil Stadium will host the conference championship game on Saturday, December 6.
