admo Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 After an amazing game against Oregon, Ohio State gets a bye week before playing the Huskers. But after playing Nebraska, they play Penn State. So I wonder if OSU will spend a little bit of time during their bye week on Penn State? Because that would be good for the Huskers. 1 Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Now that OSU lost traveling acrossed the country, expect whining and possibly divisions. tOSU runs this conference. 3 Quote Link to comment

Lol so much truth to this and once Michigan pipes up it’ll be insufferable I believe it would be best if teams jumping 2+ time zones have kicks that start between 2:30p-5p (central time). I think it’s crap for UW to play Iowa at 11am and different conference but I thought it was crazy that Miami played Cal until what 2am eastern? I don’t see this as current model of conferences with geographically differences being sustainable over the long term. Quote Link to comment

Not sure about Big 12 or ACC. Eg I don’t really see how it was worth it market-wise for the ACC to add Stanford and California. There can’t be many people who watch them. 2 Quote Link to comment

Time to model college football after the NFL with the regional divisions. Recreate the old Big 8 as one of them and we'd fit right in. Quote Link to comment

Regional does not make sense unless revenue is divided equally nationally or you have enough big brands in the region (eg the SEC). The old Big 8 would be a poor conference (financially) to be a part of if revenue is not shared among the 60 teams or whatever it would be. And why would the SEC/B1G ever agree to that?

Yeah, that’s a fair point, however, I don’t see this current model being the long term solution, more or less it’s a necessary step toward an end goal. 41 minutes ago, Moiraine said: Regional does not make sense unless revenue is divided equally nationally or you have enough big brands in the region (eg the SEC).

They’ve already begun dividing revenue equally within conferences. Once B1G/SEC squeezes out the ACC and B12, they’ll divvy it all out and restructure the model again. Quote Link to comment

Yes- I'm thinking of the 72 ( I believe that was the #) format on one of the threads - there would have to be revenue sharing to make it truly regional. The old Big 8 couldn't make it on its own. I'm agreeing with you that the Stanford /Cal thing in the ACC this really doesn't make sense. The cross country travel has many 'cons' for the 'student' athlete. Sounds great having a trans-contentment conference but in a practical sense I don't this works out long term. Quote Link to comment

The only one that likely fits in that is the USC loss to Minny Edit: Looks like 8 of the 10 favorites won. 1 of the 2 losses was essentially a toss up (OSU vs Oregon)...sooo, what are we talking about? 2 Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted October 14 Author Share Posted October 14 My wild guess in CCG, Ducks vs Penn State or Ohio St (December 7th) Quote Link to comment

Fair point but what would the spread have looked like with reverse locations or neutral sites? I haven't spent the time but guessing a team like ohio state would have been a touchdown or more favorite at home. Surely vegas is adding a bit more spread on long travel games. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 I think teams will start flying in on Thursday instead of Friday when traveling across two time zones. 1 Quote Link to comment

And, I love that we are concerned about time zones...but like...no one cares about how physically violent the game is HAHA "Concussion, get that sissy back in, when I played we did not even check for concussions" "Man...11am kickoff? Team is going to be a little tired, I hope that next year the game starts at 2:30, these guys need to rest" 1 1 Quote Link to comment
