And then the Big Ten can give us OSU as a "random" crossover seven out of ten years.

It will be interesting how this all shakes out. A lot of moving parts between the potential alliance and the CFP format.

I like the pod idea. We need two more teams now.

Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin are a good grouping to play each other every year.  Ditto Illinois, Northwestern, Indiana, and Purdue.  Then figure out some sort of grid with Ohio St, Michigan, Michigan St, Penn St, Maryland, and Rutgers.

My thoughts exactly when I read the story.  We'll see how random it really is when they assign us OSU right off the start.

With 14 teams, how does it work to create scheduling pods, because 14 isn't easily divided other than by 7, which is basically a division.  Unless the pods for each team are different for each team in the pod, meaning NU would play 2 out of the 3 from Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

And Indiana once per decade.

On a year where they happen to have their once a decade superstar QB.

Here is an example 3 permanent games with 14.  In this example, Wisc and Iowa have the same 3 opponents, but Nebraska and Minnesota have a different 4th opponent.

 

 

You could keep the 4 western together, 4 central together, then have the other 6 each have different permanent games between them.

Michigan’s permanent opponents are perfect.

Very good but really Trev should just forget fixing the stadium and just go all Road Warriors!  No more issues with drunken fans. Cleaning up those beer cans, poopsi cups, pizza pie boxes, balloons polluting the Atlantic, traffic jams around Lincoln, wear and tear in roads, gas wasted, etc etc.  

If we can’t kick Bama and Buckeye a$$ on the road every week-end, we don’t deserve to even have a football team.  After all, Neb fans are spoiled brats that stupidly think things ought be fair!    Enough crybaby stuff.
