There are lots of different ways, but this is the most simple, and most realistic:
1) Ohio State beats Michigan (duh)... the bigger the win the better
2) Notre Dame loses at USC
3) Georgia beats Bama in the SECCG, goes to NCG.
4) Stanford wins out, shuts Oregon out of the Pac12 Champ game...
was going to say the same, but was waiting for the big boys to confirm... Miles at 11W says he has and that Tony is going to visit tOSU, Georgia, and USF for sure
Yes we need OL depth... but does the staff want to spend a schollie on someone they aren't sold on just to fill a need, or use that schollie to get someone who they really want... I say that unless Johnson wants in, we move on from OL this year and focus on next year. Spend the energy and time...
They made a fantastic hire a few years ago in Mike London. Dude took Richmond to a National Championship in his first year, DESTROYING the heavy favorite App St and then Montana. I watched both games and came out really impressed and new that he would be the next big name. In his second year...
wow a recruit "near" me? no way... might have to venture up to Monroe
Before you ask, I have no idea about the quality of his competition, I'm a transplant here
I don't think you need to create divisions out of the "pods". Each is there own division and you just take the top two out of the four.
The key is getting creative and understanding the limitations of a 16 team conference.
They aren't being segregated. It's not like we are putting them alone in a corner to play amongst themselves. They would have a full B1G schedule and would play 6 other B1G teams a season (at least) traveling all over the conference as well as sending teams to them. Sure, they could get...
tiebreakers always suck... look at that Tex/OU/TTU mess we had a few years ago... I think you'll find this is a problem regardless of the conference set-up
And I get it, divisions, not pods. I wasn't particularly attached to the term, just used it to differentiate from two 8 team divisions.
Where in the world do you see us losing rivalries???
Here is a list of the official rivalries as listed by the B1G:
Indiana v. MSU KEPT (crossover)
MSU v. PSU LOST (prob lost cause UMD would most likely be the permanent cross for UMD or UVA)
NW v. Ill KEPT (same division)
OSU v. Ill...
1) It makes the most sense to stick those eastern teams together. They in fact would probably be happiest with that as they would get the most football games against opponents they know best and are most familiar with. Easy traveling for their fans and good regional rivalry for the division...
I don't see how a tie breaker for the pods would be any more intense than an 8-team division or even how it is currently... tie breakers are tie breakers and they usually suck, no two ways about it.
I actually really prefer a 9-game conference schedule. You get one OOC against the Pac12...
