Not sure why everyone is so upset over 2 road games in a row. Doesn't strike me as some huge deal. X will probably have 2 home games in a row at some point.
As far as MSU, the Champions Classic makes it difficult to participate in Gavitt.

We get Wisconsin?? Great news, at least we get a game this year. So what if it's on the road, just means we will get a home game next time. Chance to get a road win on the resume against a P5 school? I'm all for it. I hope we beat the living hell out of them.

I think Wisconsin will be a challenge from here on out any season. They have a strong brand now that recruits are buying into. I wish it was at home, just so the local fans can see a strong matchup.
Given the way B1G has worked with Xavier so far, our home matchups will be someone like Penn State or Rutgers. I'm still happy to be in a series with B1G, as it means continued media focus on the program in several strong markets. Great for recruiting, PR, yadda yadda.

Michigan played the previous two years and Ohio State sucks.
I'm not sure what everyone was expecting from this arrangement. There are significantly more Big10 teams, the Big10 plays in a much more prominent event that is basically the same idea and in the same general window of time, and MSU plays in the Champions Classic every year. It's hard to imagine the stars aligning for 5 great matchups to happen in the same year or all the top teams participating. These all seem like pretty good games to me when you consider most schools' approach to non-conference scheduling.
