2022 College Football Season/Playoff Thread

Oregon, Washington, Notre Dame,

I think Colorado is more realistic than North Carolina. No buyout to get out of their conference, Denver market, a natural rivalry for Nebraska, and closer to the other Pac-12 newcomers. They need to get the others though, because the SEC is going to raid the ACC as soon as they're able to.

Washington, Oregon, Utah

Likely next dominos to fall in the creation of a true Western division.

BYU and Colorado likely in the conversation, as would Stanford

I think Kansas gets revisited. Legendary b-ball program, rivalry for Nebraska, and tap into St Louis and KC markets.

Adding UCLA and Kansas basketball would be pretty crazy.

All time series:

v UCLA 4-4-1
v USC 10-13-1

Looking forward to taking both of these in the coming years.

Kansas is so awful in football but you make good points. I do wonder whether the ACC teams will find a workaround, and whether the southern v northern lines hold or if the B1G snags a team like Florida State or Clemson. Culturally, the SEC certainly makes more sense for them.

Yeah, but if we’re talking about a media deal, if both KU and UCLA were in Big 10 they would’ve finished with 7 top 25 teams and 10 in the top 31. The Big 10 conference basketball tourney would draw massive ratings every year.

 

[Chris]

Go get Oregon, those fuckers.

 

[-Akronite-]

No ND but fuck those Catholics, we already have 2 Indiana teams.

 

[Mr. Orange]

Gotta get Stanford and Cal.

I’d take them over UVA and NC. And ND over Kansas.

 

[Triplethreat]

Gotta start dropping some of these scrub teams now.

Rutgers, Maryland, Purdue, Illinois….

End goal should be about 16-20 total blue blood massive schools….

It’s gonna end up as the Big 10 and SEC basically the AFC and NFC of CFB.

Purdue and Illinois have been members of the Big Ten since 1896. They aren't going anywhere. I highly doubt they would get rid of Rutgers or Maryland either.

Yeah, not now but the end goal is clear.

Two power conferences with basically the big time schools duking it out every year more akin to an NFL schedule.

Going to make the whole product better for sure, and those scrub teams will be gone.

Might take 10 years but that’s the clear vision here.

For football reasons mainly? I feel like they all have good cases as they are good enough academically. ND is the only one that doesn’t open up a new market for us (not that this is MY biggest concern but money is driving all of this).

 

[Mr. Orange]

Atlantic: Penn State, UVA, Duke, UNC, Rutgers, Maryland

East: Ohio State, Michigan, MSU, Notre Dame, Purdue, Indiana

West: Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Northwestern, Minnesota, Nebraska

Pacific: USC, UCLA, Stanford, Cal, Oregon, Washington

There is it. That’s your super conference.

 

[Lee]

Can’t wait till “Big Ten Icons: John Wooden”

You know John Wooden was a Big Ten Icon as he was a 3 time all American while playing at Purdue

 

[Alec]

I know they want Rutgers and Maryland for the TV markets and population size but goddamn it's an embarrassment having them in this conference.
