  • Interesting idea, but who goes to the B1G championship? 4 team playoff to try and win the B1G and make the 4 team playoff for the Natl. title?

    4 OOC games, 8 conference games, 4 team conference playoff, 4 team national playoff

    It's still no more than a NFL regular season. shrug

    You can either go with semifinals OR select the teams with the best two records (applying tiebreakers, if needed) to play in the BTCCG. But I would eliminate guaranteed crossover games and align the divisions to keep key rivalries intact:

    B10 East: PSU, RUT, UMD, UVA/GT
    B10 North: OSU, UM, MSU, SYR
    B10 South: UNL, IOWA, PUR, IU
    B10 West: UW, ILL, NW, MN

    Note: Assumes every team plays the other three teams in its division and two teams from each other division for a total of nine B10 games each season.
