ND,UM,OSU,PSU & FSU are too much in one division.

Big ten won’t expand again unless it’s ND

As an objective unbiased football fan, the correct answer is obviously Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan State in that order.

Mark that's not gonna happen! Because if it does, either USC or Oregon will win the west devision every single year!

I think it’d make sense for the B1G to add Notre Dame and Stanford. Then you don’t play in divisions; each team has 4 locked in opponents based on rivalries and region (for example Notre Dame would play USC, Stanford, Purdue, and Michigan every year) then the other 5 games are rotated through the remaining conference opponents every year. If done correctly, every team would play each other in a 3 year span (5 years if you do home-and-homes before rotating).

Michigan has become by far the most annoying fan base in recent years. I’m not an Ohio state fan either.

Solution 24 teams , 4 six team divisions, you play your division every year and rotate the other 3 each year.

No divisions, H/H, pct, common opponent tie breaker. 2 OOC games with 9 scheduled and with 3 weeks remaining schedule the 10th game (mini playoff).

This dude is annoying AF. Spent the entire video teaching us what it means to be biased. What a fucking waste of time, fuck this guy

If you want static divisions, it has to be 4 divisions of 5. Have a semi-final week and a championship. Or... Two divisions reseeded every year

Everybody rambled about the PAC-12 dissolving, but really when Washington/Oregon followed USC/UCLA it all just became Big 10 Pacific Coast. I kinda like the idea of Big 10 being renamed "Big East" and "Big West" though we do need some cross-country match-ups. FWIW, I could see the Big 12 being renamed something like "Heartland Conference" and ACC maybe being "Coastal" (especially if it absorbs Washington St., Oregon St.). SEC basically stays SEC but says it stands for something like "Super Elite Conference".

They need to add CALfurd as they should have when they took Oregon and Washington. 🐻 🌲 🪓

With the advent of NIL eventually there will be none of the talented athletes playing for a university. Coirporate sponsored clubs will form like the soccer feeder programs in Europe. If a player can come out of hight school and make $500k his first year out, why would he bother to pretend to be a student somewhere when he can play and practice intensely befor moving up to the next lever of profession football? NIL nas already ruined the sport for me personally but we'll have to see what else develops in the future.

Why not just return to the post WWII original 10?

The most annoying fanbases are Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, even Ohio State on occasion, i.e., anybody Georgia plays. That's just scientific fact. Don't let biased commentary gaslight you. ;)

Good Morning from Dublin! I hate to say this but 4 pods of 6 teams <or> 6 pods of 4 teams (24 total) is easier to manage. If SEC adopts the 24 team league also, then pod swapping for non-conference becomes very easy. Time will tell, but I believe we are headed to 24 teams in the SEC, B12 and B1G.

After last year its Florida state

At this point it the entire hateful 8 +4 +4, everybody wants to join their conference daily - NOT!!! They have such low self esteem in that conference!!!

There is no way ND joins a conference with one of their biggest rivals (USC) in the other division that they're never able to play unless they both make the Big10 title game in the same year. Because that would almost guarantee they would rarely if ever play. I don't claim to have a solution, but that's not going to work. It would also be insanely tough to have them play a 10 game conference schedule and maintain their Stanford rivalry given that Stanford has a new ACC (for now) schedule to manage and finding when they could play if ND only has 2 non-con games they can schedule. If you're trying to get the prettiest girl at school to go to the dance with you, you can't offer her dead flowers and expect her to say yes. Killing two of their biggest rivalry games in one decision isn't going to make ND want to jump at the chance to join especially when we know they're really as against it as they've always been, but their environment is changing so they may be forced to. But they aren't going to willingly agree to those things, no way.

If the B1G gets larger than 18 teams, I see the sport turning into a 3 prong version of the NFL...SEC, BIG 12, B1G. Each then has 3 divisions that then represent your seeding for the playoffs and divisions in the conference not affectedby lack of play withintheconference. Top record in each division gets 1-9. 10-12 go to best record g5 teams.

Trick question: Bandwagon fans are the most annoying

It works better with 22 teams and no divisions. Three protected games by rivals or location. Same every year. Play the other 18 teams on a three year rotation. 6 per year. Leaves 3 out of confrence games. Best two teams play for the championship.

THE most annoying fan base is alabama!

5 team divisions

Yup, that West model is so much easier.

I've been in favor of this for awhile with 16 teams but would work with 20. Have 4 divisions of 5 teams. That way your 9 games are 4 within your division and 5 from another division. Division winners play in a four team big ten tournament.

Pods would be the answer. You would play the 4 in your pod yearly, then two from each of the other pods. 10 conference games a year. Then have a 4 team conference playoff.

You are putting OSU, Michigan and Penn State back together in one division. They should be spread out.

Soooo, what you’re saying is Big Ten: Michigan Michigan State Ohio State Rutgers Maryland Penn State Indiana Purdue Florida State Notre Dame And the PAC 10 Washington Oregon USC UCLA Nebraska Minnesota Wisconsin Iowa Northwestern Illinois Sounds like 1978 all over again, albeit slightly different teams.

Please no divisions. The Big Ten tried that and it was a dismal failure. The eastern division based on geography will end up being way stronger than the western and the idea of only playing some of these schools once a decade is ridiculous. No divisions. The only people that liked the divisions were those in the weak western division.

Digest these changes for a couple years, then go to 24 teams in 4 pods. Then a few more years until it's 32 teams in both monster conferences (B1G, SEC). Let the scraps reform into a lower tier conferences, also with 2 - 32 team conferences.

How about three divisions of seven?

No nonconference, play 2 cross-over games, and the 10 division games

Agree with pods ideas. But how about 5 5 team pods. Allows the B1G to have a southern pod (FL State, Miami, UNC, UVA, GA Tech). Play everyone in your pod and at least 1 team in the other 4 pods. Winner of the pod goes on to CFP. Best performer in CFP is crowned B1G champ.

20 teams, 4 divisions. OSU, Mich, Penn St, all in different divisions. Each year you play the other 4 teams in your division, 1 team from each of the other 3 divisions (based on division order of finish from previous year), 2 "rivalry" games, and 2 out-of-conference games. The Big 10 Championship becomes a 4-team playoff. Thus, Big 10 teams that don't make the Big 10 playoff play 11 games. Big 10 teams that lose in the Big 10 semi-final play 12 games (plus more if invited to national tournament). Big 10 teams that play in the Big 10 Championship play 13 games (plus more if invited to national tournament). Key point - It's NOT fair having OSU, Mich, and Penn St. all in the same division beating up on each other. Spread them out into separate divisions. They will still get to play each other every year by making them "rivalry" games.

Rip the band-aid off and drop NW, Illinois, Purdue, Indiana, Rutgers, Maryland. Then add FSU, Miami, Clemson, and ND SEC drops Vandy and adds UNC Merge B1G and SEC, 32 team super league, 2 conferences, 4 (4 team) divisions each conference. 12 team playoff, division winners get automatic bid. 4 at-large bids.

Have a 1/9/9 format. One rival annually. Nine teams on odd years. Nine teams on even years.

2 divisions of 10 teams is a bad idea just keep it the way it is NO DIVISIONS

Maybe four five team pods would work. All 5 teams in your pod play each other and rotate pods each year. That way all teams are playing each other at least every 3 years. Not a fan of more expansion but at least this way all teams would play at least 3 times in a decade. Just a thought.

How can and why would ND join to make a 20-team B1G? Low incentives from the ND perspective, too many entanglements with the ACC.

You have to compare records playing against the other division otherwise a comparison makes no sense.

Promotion /relegation. Bottom team from a ten team league gets demoted to the bottom ten. Top league gets MORE money as bottom league gets G5 money.

Get rid of the OOC games and play a straight conference only schedule.

You have to hope that the BIG will save more teams from the ACC then they did from the PAC. The embarrassment of Utah, Arizona and ASU joining the leftovers is still hard to handle for those schools, fanbases and academic minds. You are known by the company you keep and being associated with the likes of West Virginia, Cincinnati and Kansas St yells the world your brand is worthless!!! To have someone like Duke, North Carolina and any schools from the ACC with the leftovers would just be sad and disgraceful

The universities would never agree to play Michigan or Ohio State once every 10 years. Too much money lost if those games don’t exist. The only way a 20-team conference works is with 4 divisions of 5 teams each. Then you can schedule by playing one other division each year as well as your own every year - that solves the tiebreaker dilemma as well as not going too long without playing other major school. And you won’t lose the non-conference games. Then the big 10 title game is determined by the top 2 division winners, and the other 2 division winners still get automatic bids to the playoff as lower seeds. That’s probably the easiest way to do it but it would probably never happen.

Love your analysis 😊😊😊

Much prefer a protected rivals model. Going to 10 conference games is not unreasonable.

I think B1G should just go to 24 and 11 conference games.

No thanks on divisions. Rutgers finally got away from OSU, PSU, and Michigan. Rutgers will probably win at least 10 games this year and that's good for the B1G. Let the lower and mid tier teams mostly play against each other to build them up. Why does Ohio State need to play Indiana every year? I can't think of a single valid reason. Realignment is about money and the money wants to see the big matchups, not Ohio State thrashing Indiana. Let Indiana build up to an 8-4 team, then they can get a shot in the future.

I am ready for FSU to go to the Big 10.
