2021 Ohio State Big Ten football schedule revision announced
Conference adjusts seven game dates
The Big Ten Conference today announced a revised 2021 conference football schedule prompted by six games that adjusted locations because of changes made during the 2020 scheduling process. The Big Ten’s Administrators Council, which includes the directors of athletics and senior women administrators from all 14 member institutions, approved the revisions.
The changes are relatively minimal regarding Ohio State’s schedule.
Comparing it with the prior version of the 2021 schedule, Ohio State’s revised 2021 schedule features the same nine Big Ten teams, the same dates for home and away games and the same locations per date (home or away). The changes are reflected in a shuffled lineup of game dates.
Ohio State still opens on the road at Minnesota on Thursday, Sept. 2, has its same off week of Oct. 16 and closes the season against Michigan in Ann Arbor on Nov. 27.
The changes involving the other seven games are reflected in the sequencing of those games in the schedule below:

Sept. 2 – at Minnesota
Sept. 11 – Oregon
Sept. 18 – Tulsa
