Correct me if I am wrong, but there are two teams that Ohio State will always play, and always play at home in even years, and on the road in odd years...and that is Penn State and Michigan. I think quite a few teams have "rivals" locked in like this in the Big Ten. My feeling always was, that we should be playing Michigan and Illinois every year. I think it just became Penn State because when they joined the conference, they had no rivals, and we were the closest team to them, AND PSU and
OSU along with Michigan were supposed to dominate the Big Ten.
I don't like playing Minnesota...they seem to always play us better than they play everyone else.
