Basically, when you actually write it out -- there will be 1 team left with no opponent (who hasn't already played 9 games). So either 1 team only plays 8 games, or you match that team up with somebody who ends up playing 10 games. 11 teams = a real pain in the ass all around. |
I agree. 11 team = a real pain in the ass. Thanks for the clarification. I think I'm suffering from post-NCG syndrome.

Could I cast a vote to have all the other conferences finish their schedules when the B10 finishes. Then (here goes a crazy concept) we could move the bowl games up 2 weeks and play the NC game on New Years.
The NC game was so far removed from the regular season that even I had a little trouble getting ramped up for the game...

I really like the idea of moving the bowl games up. I think the Rose (and probably 1 other game) could even stay on New Years as well. That would be one awesome day of college football. |

adding another team, possible ND, would make our conference seem much tougher, similar to that of the SEC. They shoudl also divide it up liek they do for the acc. Putting THE Ohio State University and michigina in seperate divisions or what ever so they could play for the big ten championship. winning the big ten would be even bigger. (but woudl they change the name??)

Even though ND is in the area of the Big 10, they would be in no hurry to join. They have that fat TV contract and they don't have to share their bowl moneys with any conference. If anything they would probably join the Big East (where they are in basketball) anyways. Also, having seen what happened to PSU when they joined the Big 10 I can assure you that Notre Dame, even without their TV Contract, is in no rush to join.

ND joining any conference in college football isn't going to happen.
