What teams would be in each division/pod?
North and South.
North
Iowa
Minnesota
Michigan
Michigan State
Nebraska
Northwestern
Wisconsin
South
Illinois
Indiana
Maryland
Ohio State
Penn State
Purdue
Rutgers
Each team plays one crossover every year and the other 2 crossovers are weighted each year based on balancing the SOS across the divisions.
Final Week of the Season Crossover Games:
Nebraska vs. Penn State
OSU vs. Michigan
Northwestern vs. Illinois
Michigan State vs. Indiana
Wisconsin vs. Maryland
Iowa vs. Purdue
Minnesota vs. Rutgers
so you are okay if the final week teams play a rematch the following week in the championship game? That’s possible in your scenarios...especially Ohio state vs Michigan.
that would someone where I would vomit hearing Michigan and Ohio state talk about the game. I’ll admit it’s one of the best rivalries in all of college football.
The reason the divisions are unbalanced is bc Nebraska doesn't have its act together. Nebraska needs to be Nebraska again then this discussion goes away. The East vs West record is actually pretty close but the East almost always has the better top team.
LolIn the spirit of our current national climate, I would go with:
Law & Order Division
Nebraska
Iowa
Indiana
Purdue
Ohio State (maybe)
Anarchy Division
Minnesota
Michigan
Michigan State
Northwestern
Illinois
Wisconsin
Maryland
Penn State
Rutgers
Let's see who can survive the Anarchy division (literally).
Isn't lincoln like the 3rd most southern city in the Big10?so you are okay if the final week teams play a rematch the following week in the championship game? That’s possible in your scenarios...especially Ohio state vs Michigan.

Looks like if n/s we would be in north. But should look at parralells
That map looks weird. Lincoln and Champaign are practically the same latitude, arent they? It looks like we are way north of them on it.Looks like if n/s we would be in north. But should look at parralells
Just start running the current division and let someone else worry on that.North/South?

Does it have to have divisions? Could you schedule it with one guaranteed rival you always play and the rest rotates. The best 2 teams (Need good tie breaker rules) play in title gameNorth/South?

You were brought in to win.Not a good idea... Example would be Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa have always played big rivalry games they need to play every year..
Still hate the idea that Rutgers and Maryland joined the conference making it 14...
You were brought in to win.
MD and RU were brought in for TV sets and $.
Thank them for easy W's (unless you're Purdue, lol), take their money and run with it.
