The fact that no Big 10 teams got in the playoff last year doesn't mean there was a scheduling problem. The Big 10 had some very good teams but none of them were good enough to deserve to be in the playoffs."Moos hinted that the league is in strong talks about modifying the 9-game conference schedule that puts the Big Ten at a competitive disadvantage against the SEC and ACC when it comes to the College Football Playoff, New Year's Six Bowl games and overall win-loss records which effect polls and strength of schedule."
My guess would be that they want to help get the top B1G team(s) to the playoffs by having fewer losses.
No more best vs best scheduling type stuff maybe.
They need the top team to have 0 or 1 loss every year as a 2-loss B1G probably will not have a chance to get in. No more Iowa vs OSU games that keep a team out and allow the SEC to get 2 teams in!!

Winning one's division should be based on divisional wins and losses only.
The teams in the division don't all play the same out of division teams. Some teams play harder cross division schedules than others, and currently they get penalized for it. If you are going to crown a division winner, should it not be based on what happened in that division?Why? It's a conference schedule. If you are going to do that, don't even schedule games against the other division. Just play 6 division games and 6 non conference games. Or don't have divisions at all and just take the top 2 teams in the league to play in the title game.
No other sport in the world bases it's division winners solely on division games. Why should college football be different?

That would be stupid. You could potentially have a team with a losing conference record get in just because they won the most games in the division.The teams in the division don't all play the same out of division teams.

Are you involved in the discussions between Moos and the Big Ten?
