You can arrange your own divisions and it gets graded on competitiveness, rivalries, and geography.

A pure geographical split, East-West (OSU;UM;PSU;MSU;PU;UIn, NU;UN;UW;UMn;UIl;UIa) gets an overall grade of A (87):

Competitiveness: B+ (70)

Rivalries: A (90)

Geography: A+ (100)

I found that if you then switch Illinois and Purdue, you get an overall grade of A (90):

Competitiveness: A- (80)

Rivalries: A+ (93)

Geography: A+ (95)

i got exactly that, i did not realize we had the same scenarios. i hope this will be what they decide on for the divisions. as a husker fan, i would be happy to see NU play their division teams every year. that would pan out with some entertaining and exciting seasons.

 
If you separate them like this:

Division A

- Ohio State

- M*ch*gan

- Penn State

- Nebraska

- Iowa

- Wisconsin

Division B

- Michigan State

- Indiana

- Purdue

- Illinois

- Northwestern

- Minnesota

You get:

Competitiveness: F (0)

Rivalries: B+ (73)

Geography: D+ (29)

Overall: C- (34)

I think we have a winner! :laughpound

 
The most competitive arrangement I could get (A+, 100) is this:

Division A - Nebraska, Penn State, M*ch*gan, Minnesota, Northwestern, Indiana

Division B - Ohio State, Iowa, Purdue, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Illinois

Unfortunately, it gets D (20) for Rivalries and D (21) for Geography for a C+ (47) Overall rating.

How about a North/South thang?

We can finally be part of the stronger southern division

Penn State is further south. The map is flat, but the world is not. With Penn State in the South, the divisions get grades of:

Competitiveness: A (88)

Rivalries: A (90)

Geography: B- (55)

Overall: A- (78)

I'm not a fan of it because Ohio State and M*ch*gan are in separate divisions.

The "gun barrel" of Mass has the same latitude of Northern Nebraska.

or latitude and longitude of cities the bigger number is farther north

I split em' up like so,

Div. A: OSU, MU, PSU, MSU, ILL, UI

Div. B: NU, IOWA, WIS, MIN, NW, PUR.

Grades, Comp: A-, Riv: A+, Geog: A+, Total: A (90)

This is pretty close to how I think the divisions need to be split. Any other way and I think the Big10 breaks what should be their number one priority, which is K.I.S.S. :huh:
