Right you are. I was implying that it's my guess that we're going to 16 this round...

Really hoping it's UVA and UNC. I think the B1G would be complete if that comes to pass...

Given that what would your divisions be? I would go with:

MD, NC, UVA, PSU
tOSU, Rutgers, IN, Purdue (gotta give tOSU the game in NYCish every other year)
scUM, MSU, NU, Ill
Wiscy, Nebraska, Iowa, Minn

I like it, but realistically I see State Penn and RU swapping spots...

Here again, the 'competitive balance' will be difficult to strike while keeping things geographically logical...

I was trying to do us and Ped State a favor. I'm sure Rutgers would prefer bus trips to flights to play the rest of their division. That pod would be a football joke and give whatever other pod they get matched up with a huge B1G championship advantage.

As far as football goes, neither of these schools is much of a prize, but insofar as it ensures that PSU cannot flit around looking for some ACC super deal that cuts BigTen expansion eastward, this is a very good move.

Land UNC and Virginia and Notre Dame and Duke are screwed. Do not think it happens but it would be brilliant.

Fuck. The dreaded GSKoD. That pretty much guarantees it won't happen. :(
