Yep, and I will never understand Nebraska fans who want Nebraska to be part of the elite teams in the country again, but don't recognize that schedule plays a role. In the Big 8 it was Oklahoma, one of Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma State would rise up from time to time and a whole bunch of tomato cans. They want to add Texas and Oklahoma to the division already playing Wisconsin every year and one of Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State is on the schedule, and many times two. I just think if people expect Coach Frost to elevate the program to Devaney, Osborne heights again, adding Kansas to pair with Texas or Oklahoma makes a hell of a lot more sense. Plus I like another school that would be an easy day game drive for fans. Quote Link to comment

Back in the days you are discussing most conference were only 2/3 team's deep. Limiting schollies and more tv have made average teams better. Quote Link to comment

When a division has eight teams, does winning your division mean as much as winning a conference title in an eight team conference? 3 Quote Link to comment

If the conference uses 4-team pods and rotates them on a 9 game schedule, teams would play each other more often than they do now. Everyone would meet every 2 years, home and home every 4 years.

Interesting thought - why wouldn't you just stick with 2 divisions to make a championship game more straight forward. if you had pods would you just take the best 2 teams out of the 4 pods and let them play for the championship (with a chance that both teams come from same pod) Or are you saying that 2 pods would be in each division and you would play everybody in your division pod yearly and then rotate the other two pods on a 2 year basis. The math seams like that would have to be 11 game schedule. Quote Link to comment

The math seams like that would have to be 11 game schedule. 3 games in your pod (Iowa,OU,Kansas) every year. 4 games against pod B 2 games against 2 teams from pod C sorry my math was wrong....a 9 game conference schedule. in year 2, pod D replaces B and you play the other two teams from C. The division” alternates every year. 1 Quote Link to comment

No. No one remembers division winners. (sorry NW) And mega conference championship games are always the best team vs team easy schedule. Quote Link to comment

KU is a great addition to basketball, but they are an automatic easy win for most anyone. So if that's what people want, by all means have at it. As for me, I will pass. And clearly ISU and KSU are competitive in both sports. Quote Link to comment

My guess is that OU would get an exception for football and the academic heads will cringe. I doubt KSU gets the nod over KU. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan74 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I am assuming that this is a failed attempt at humor...right? I would rather go back to the Big12 than have Texas and Oklahoma join the Big ten. We can barely compete in the BIG west as it is, you want to add Texas and Oklahoma to the mix...that is a brilliant idea... 1 1 Quote Link to comment
