Minnesota_husker Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I actually wouldnt mind adding both Texas and Oklahoma. It would rekindle some fun rivalries. 3 2 Quote Link to comment

RedSavage Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 OU would be cool. For the love of everything holy, please keep Texas far, far away. 2 3 Quote Link to comment

Roger Dorn Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Would be the best move for the big ten in my opinion. Who knows what sort of football playoff system will be in place at that point but will give the big ten more reputation and the bias in the rankings that the $EC seems to undeservedly get every year. 1 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 OU would be a great pick up. As far as Texass, I wouldn't mind them from a competitive standpoint and I think the games would be fun but I don't want them anywhere near conference making decisions. They are a virus. F Texass. Would rather see Kansas and OU. Unfortunately, the B1G is all about going for the larger TV markets and that money so we'll see what happens. 2 Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Can't take OU with out Okie State right? Wasn't that a problem when some other conference tried to pouch OU? To many okie state alums in positions of power for OU to move on with out them. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNBigD Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Honestly wouldn't mind this. Adds a couple closer road games each year. MORE IMPORTANTLY IT RE-OPENS THE ALL IMPORTANT TEXAS RECRUITING GROUNDS, YOU KNOW SINCE WE CAN'T RECRUIT IN TEXAS ANYMORE GIVEN THAT WE'RE NOT IN A CONFERENCE THAT PLAYS IN THE STATE. /s 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 If it goes to 16 teams, it should be a Pod system Four 4-team Pods Play your Pod every year (those three teams home-and-home every two years) Play one other Pod every year (every other team every three years, home-and-home every six years) "Protected" games each year to preserve rivalries while balancing pods The team with the best record within each year's paired Pods goes to the CCG At first I wanted to play half of a third Pod each year instead of the protected games (so you would play every team at least every-other year) but I think it would be too hard to keep all the rivalries so there would be too much push-back. I'd have to dig a little deeper to see if you could get that to work within the Pods. East Pod: Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, Maryland North Pod: Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Northwestern West Pod: Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois South Pod: Texas, Oklahoma, Purdue, Indiana Protected - Scheduled in years where the Pods weren't already playing each other (red=always, black=if possible, trophy game not preserved) Illinois - Northwestern, Purdue, Ohio State Indiana - Michigan State, Iowa - Minnesota, Maryland - Michigan - Ohio State, Michigan State - Indiana, Penn State, Rutgers Minnesota - Iowa, Wisconsin, Penn State, Nebraska Nebraska - Oklahoma, Minnesota Northwestern - Illinois, Ohio State - Michigan, Illinois Oklahoma - Nebraska, Penn State - Michigan State, Minnesota Purdue - Illinois, Rutgers - Michigan State Texas - Wisconsin - Minnesota, Trophy Games not guaranteed - Illinois/Ohio State, Minnesota/Penn State, Nebraska/Minnesota, Michigan State/Rutgers 2 1 Quote Link to comment
