Just look at the SEC this year, which has 7 team divisions and plays 8 conference games. Thanks to tie ins with mediocre divisional games, the SEC had only 3 cross divisional games between teams in the top 4 in their division. This translates into roughly half the number of quality conference games that were played in the PAC12.

How many Nebraska vs OSU, OSU vs Michigan, Wisconsin vs Nebraska, and MSU vsOSU type games are we willing to lose?

I was just giving an example of what area to stay in and a few of them schools are possible? Never know unless you have an inside track who the remaining schools are if any ? Other then that my out take or anyone else oppinion as good as any. So is that ok with you Tom? See I kinda like to stay in the region of the 14 current schools,understand? Merry Christmas

The B1G won’t ever add any of the schools on your list. You went 0 for 9. Truly remarkable.

Unless the B1G expands south, it will be in the SEC’s perpetual rear view mirror.

You have to be Southern to actually believe Such Nonsense. I have lived in the South and can readily attest to the FACT that Many in the Region clearly despise Anything “Yankee Related”……..The South L-o-s-t The War, Many Years Ago….so Get Over It! Yea, We know the SEC has had a Great Run on Football Championships………So WHAT!? When the SEC can MATCH Up in Prestige, Money, Endowments and Credibility, then We Will talk. There is a H-U-G-E difference in attitude, culture and perspective when comparing Northern and Southern Schools. (And some of You will merely fire back ‘yea, it’s cold up there’………..and THAT is the stupidity We are Talking about. The SEC needs to worry about the SEC and not concern itself with ANY other Conference, B1G,Big12, Pac12 etc.
