Should the Big Ten Schedule Change?
Certainly, the layoff was not the reason for the loss; however, it was likely a reason for the loss. Shortening the layoff may mitigate whatever sluggishness that is a result. Moreover, a schedule change would keep the Big Ten teams from suffering the "out of sight, out of mind" penalty that the conference currently endures... though the "penalty" was appropriate for M*ch*gan.
What do you think?

What would you change?
My only thought is for everyone to give up 1 OOC game and make sure every B10 team plays each other. Is my math right on it only taking 1 extra game?
Other than that, its the same old dead horse of adding a 12th team and a CCG.

So, a 40 day layoff maximizes OSU's potential, but a 50 day layoff kills it?
what kind of logic is that? |
