After a home game against Wazzu, then go to South Bend to play the Irish.
Louisville defeats Florida State. That sets up a three way tie scenario in the ACC Atlantic with Clemson defeating Louisville and Florida State defeating Clemson. Good Luck untangling that mess.
Either Ohio State or Michigan States loses. That means that the team that does lose faces a major uphill battle to win the Big 10 East, and gives Michigan a leg up on that team. Michigan's problem is that they play both of those teams, plus Iowa on the road. If both teams lose, then a showdown elimination game between the two takes place in Lansing.
