I guess this will have to play out, and I realize the conference championship game will be a huge money maker, but........

Doesn't seem right not having MI and OSU in the same division.

How can IL and Northwestern not be in the same division?

WI and IA are rivals, and not in the same division.

Purdue, IL and IN have to be considered the weaker of the teams over time and they are in the same division making it the much weaker of the two.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE having NE in the Big 10!!

They probably figure that once Michigan regains its winning ways that the Big Ten will have 2 of its perinially best teams playing for the conference championship every year....????

I see it diminshing the meaning of the regular season game not having them in the same division...especially if that game has little bearing on who plays in the championship the next week..even more diminished if it's Much & OSU to meet for championship...in a neutral city, indoors, in a pro stadium...yuck
