from bigten to the sec man these comments are just confusing

[notestco]

The #1OSU-#2Mich score was 42-39 not 39-36... dumbass

[mkdjksh]

Miami Hurricanes football. UCLA Basketball. Notre Dame Football. Dallas Cowboys football. Michigan Football. What happend??? All were dominate just give it time it will change watch. Funny how people forget that

[mkdjksh]

Things change people SEC and PAC-10 pathetic Basketball is proof

[mkdjksh]

Funny how he says he is a football fan good thing LMAO

[mkdjksh]

I do have to give the Big 12 credit in basketball this year tho

[mkdjksh]

Not like the Big 12 or Pac-10 are producing much either, 2 of the Big 10 teams beat the Big 12 2 out of 3 and well Pac-10 Basketball bout as bad as the SEC? Washington the only team to mention, You people crack me up

[mkdjksh]

The best athletes in the country my arse LMAO

[mkdjksh]

they should ban SEC from basketball cuz the only quality basketball team is Kentucky and guess what they not doing to good what are they ranked 19th now? Thats the only ranked team SEC has what a joke plus Ohio St has more national championships then all of them but Alabama. Dont worry the SEC will suck in football one day just like they do in basketball now what a joke

[mkdjksh]

mollkatles kinda like SEC basketball sucks LOL

[512thc]

@mollkatles who's you guys? big ten sucks hahahaha im just a fan of football asking wtf's up with these lame divisions

[mollkatles]

@512thc can someone please explain to me how it is the big 11 keeps getting plumb bowl games, when season after season after season all you guys do is send mediocre easily overwhelmed teams to bowls? mich st? mich? wisconsin?

there should be a post season ban against the big 10 and big east for five years, and then an evaluation to see if these two weakling leagues can be competitive against top notch teams

[maxwell8989]

sorry but legends and leaders are the dumbest titles ive ever heard

[512thc]

where's the so called equality this bald guru is talking about? Looks like ohio state will run that division almost every season, with penn state fighting for 1st and 2nd place each season, and wisconsin fighting for 1st 2nd and 3rd. after that its weak... the other division is way tougher

[baburo101]

Ohio State has favorable schedule than Michigan?

[upinya25]

This is how the SEC does it, with one permanent crossover

[upinya25]

finally, its good to see they will finally have a conf. championship like real conf, that way OSU cant waltz into a NC game and get smashed

[mrfiggins]

@mrfiggins

So other side

MICH - OSU, PSU...WIS, IND, ILL, PUR

MSU - IND, NW...WIS, PSU, OSU

NEB - PSU, OSU...WIS, ILL, PUR, IND

NW - ILL, IND...WIS, OSU, PSU, PUR

IOWA - PUR, WIS...OSU, PSU, ILL, IND

MIN - WIS, ILL...OSU, PSU, IND, PUR

I look forward to the response...The good teams get railed...that's the way it should be. If the Conference champ has two losses...well, they were two damn good losses. WIS and Iowa get off sorta easy, but every year one big dog will be there.

[mrfiggins]

@mrfiggins Here is what I see in '15...

Go 9 game schedule with one more crossover...So I'll put the team, current crossover, then the new '15 crossover, then the rotational games

WIS - MIN, IOWA...NEB, MICH, MSU, NW

PSU - NEB, MICH...MSU, IOWA, MIN, NW

OSU - MICH, NEB...IOWA, MSU, NW, MIN

ILL - NW, MIN...OSU, PSU, MICH, MSU

IND - MSU, NW...MICH, NEB, IOWA, MIN

PUR - IOWA, MSU...MICH, NW, MIN, NEB

You should be able to get the other side of the conference from this, but if not...

[mrfiggins]

As a badger the only thing I would have done was flip Wis and Iowa. They were they 5 and 6 "seeds" in the conference. That way the UW -MIN rivalry is kept and UW-Iowa would be the crossover. That means Iowa wouldn't get MIN for Floyd or NEB but, I go for tradition over new rivalries. Hopefully, in '15 they go to a 9 game conference schedule and Wis and Iowa play the closest rivalry in college sports again.

Sexy

[collins1188]

Who Michigan plays every year:

1) Ohio State (The Game)

2) Michigan State (Paul Bunyan Trophy)

3) Notre Dame (Does this have a name?) - longstanding rivalry to say the least

4) Minnesota (The Little Brown Jug)

5) Nebraska (I still have animosity over the shared championship)

This turned out GREAT for the boys in blue. Michigan made ZERO sacrifices. Props to David Brandon. This guy has been NOTHING but a breathe of fresh air since he landed the athletic director position at Michigan.

[speakseasy313]

@ImTylerDurden99 yes lol

[ImTylerDurden99]
