Badgers football fans interested in seeing the two newest Big Ten members in 2014 won't have to wait long to see them in action against their favorite team. Wisconsin will play both Maryland and Rutgers as part of the conference schedule, the Big Ten announced Thursday.
The Big Ten released its entire conference slate for 2014, and Wisconsin certainly appears to have caught a break. Noticeably absent from the Badgers' schedule is Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and Michigan State. Wisconsin's only opponents from the East Division are Maryland and Rutgers.
The 2014 schedule will consist of eight games for every team as part of the new division alignment, which means Wisconsin will only face two East Division teams each season.
Here is Wisconsin's entire Big Ten schedule for 2014. Home games in CAPS:
Oct. 4: at Northwestern
Oct. 11: ILLINOIS
Oct. 18: Bye
Oct. 25: MARYLAND
Nov. 1: at Rutgers
Nov. 8: at Purdue
Nov. 15: NEBRASKA
Nov. 22: at Iowa
Nov. 29: MINNESOTA
