Big Ten Conference Divisions

[THEWOOD]

Will this be reported on BTN now?

I have been watching Iowa Football with Kirk Ferentz waiting...and waiting...

 

[THEWOOD]

confirmed...fuck that noise

 

[CalvinistBuck]

And, can someone please tell me what's wrong with logical, geographic divisions????

tOSU, PSU, tsun, MSU, IU, Purdue

Wisc, Neb, Ill, NW, Iowa, Minn

Ohio, Mich, Penn and Indiana--4 contiguous states. What's not to like?

Freakin' Wisconsin?? NW and Ill. are in the same state and they split 'em up?

I live in Ohio and I can relate to Pennsylvania, Michigan and Indiana. Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska just got electricity a few years ago! Shouldn't they be together??

From the BTN on live TV, the OFFICIAL divisions for 2011 are:

No real names for divisions yet.

X:
Ohio State
Penn St
Wisconsin
Purdue
Illinois
Indiana

O:
Iowa
Michigan
Michigan St
Minnesota
Nebraska
Northwestern

There will be 1 'permanent' crossover game for each team:

tOSU-TSUN (The Game will be the last day of the season)
PSU-Neb
Wisc-Minn
Ill-NW'ern
Ind-MSU
Purdue-Iowa

 

[THEWOOD]

Nebraska or Iowa has a fucking cake walk.

 

[CalvinistBuck]

What I'm hearing is that that will be the divisional breakup, but OSU and Michigan will still play the last week of the regular season. FWIW.

Really?? Maybe I should turn on my TV.

 

[THEWOOD]

PSU vs Nebraska every year could be pretty sick.

 

[FCollinsBuckeye]

Great. I guess State Penn is our new rival. You know, that traditionally solid team we play every year in which the outcome of the game has a direct impact on our conference championship hopes.

So, the awful rumor is true. But will The Game be played on the last day of the regular season?

Confirmed.

I can only hope they re-consider this [alignment] in 2012...:(

 

[THEWOOD]

The Game will still be played during the last week of the season.

 

[BB73]

So, the awful rumor is true. But will The Game be played on the last day of the regular season?

Yes. For now, which is only guaranteed for the next 2 years.

You mean 'the game'. State Penn is the new 'The Game'. At least, for all intents and purposes.

:(

No.

Maybe they can sort out the divisions before Michigan becomes decent again and hence before we play a rematch.
