Welcome back inside the Ann Arbor Studios of the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com.

Spent a little more time as those during the break, I was perusing the Big Ten slate.

Obviously the games that are coming up tonight.

And then into tomorrow with Michigan hosting Oregon tomorrow,

it got me looking deeper into Michigan schedule again.

It's kind of looking ahead.

I know coaches don't look ahead,

but fans do.

And definitely like the fact that six of Michigan's final 10 games are at home.

Because we talk about how difficult this schedule is.

Oregon is a solid opponent.

At Indiana is always difficult.

The home game is against Purdue,

Michigan State, Illinois, and Maryland are all against

ranked opponents.

Obviously, going to Ohio State is never easy because they despise you.

Going to Michigan State at the end of the year, obviously, potentially is a monster game.

And so kind of looking at the way the schedule lays out, having six of the final 10 at home, obviously an advantage for Michigan

to have more home games in the back half because they did not. Despite having maybe, quote,

unquote, some easier opponents in there, they had more road games than home games. And so now that

the schedule ramps up a little bit, maybe even more than just a little bit,

as Michigan has a lot of ranked opponents remaining, right?
