In the aftermath of a 2020 season that hardly resembled the original conference schedule, the Big Ten moved to alter its 2021 model.
The matchups remain the same as the original 2021 season, but date and location changes headline the modification. The Buckeyes are set to open the season on the road with a Thursday game against Minnesota and will finish the regular season in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with its annual matchup against Michigan.
Ohio State is still slated to host Oregon, Tulsa and Akron in three consecutive weeks, as nonconference games return to the schedule after a one-year pause.
The 2021 Big Ten Championship game will be played Dec. 4.
Ohio State’s 2021 schedule:
Sept. 2: at Minnesota
Sept. 11: Oregon
Sept. 18: Tulsa
Sept. 25: Akron
Oct. 2: at Rutgers
Oct. 9: Maryland
Oct 23: at Indiana
Oct. 30: Penn State
Nov. 6: at Nebraska
Nov. 13: Purdue
Nov. 20: Michigan State
Nov. 27: at Michigan
