Big Ten football schedule 2020: Eight-game conference slates begin Oct. 24 with Ohio State-Michigan on Dec. 12 - CBS Sports

USATSI

In an early-morning announcement, the Big Ten on Saturday released its complete, revised-for-a-second-time, eight-game conference-only college football schedule for the 2020 season. The Big Ten will get the latest start and play the fewest scheduled games among the Power Five conferences that have decided to suit up in fall 2020, beginning on Saturday, Oct. 24, the traditional Week 8 of the season. Special date games, such as Friday games, will be announced at a later date per a release from Ohio State. 

The ACC and Big 12 began play in Week 2, while the SEC is set to kick off in the traditional Week 4 on Sept. 26.

The Big Ten Championship Game is scheduled to be played on Dec. 19, one day before the final College Football Playoff Rankings of the 2020 season are announced.

Normal Big Ten schedules consist of teams playing a nine-game conference slate. This year, Big Ten teams will play eight games plus a "champions week" on Dec. 19. That will include the Big Ten Championship Game between the first-place teams in the East and West divisions along with additional matchups from the other 12 Big Ten teams, ideally based on division finish but with an aim not to repeat regular-season games.

There will be no off weeks due to the late start. Every game announced was previously listed on the revised, 10-game schedule released in August. However, as Patrick Stevens of the Washington Post noted, cross-division games that weren't at least semi-permanent were cut. Those include:

The marquee Ohio State-Michigan game, one of the most watched in college football each season, will be played on Dec. 12 instead of its normal late November slot. 

With the college football landscape shifting amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Big Ten announced that teams will undergo daily, rapid coronavirus testing.
