B1G to Target Texas, Oklahoma when Big XII GOR Expires

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.

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
