Nebraska is the Vanderbilt of the B1G (minus the academics)

Absolutely. Conferences' top brand named teams have historically earned the right to have such a path. The others need to do the same over a period of years to warrant such consideration. And those that believe such are "in charge" so that is the way it is and the lessers are going to have to earn such in order to receive consideration. That's not necessarily me talking. But many think that is the back room whisper.

Here is a question that always stirs folks up.

In 2014, had the Big 12 Co Champs been Oklahoma and Texas, would Ohio State still have been chosen as the 4th CFP team? Having it be TCU and Baylor, the "13th data point" was a get out of jail free card for the committee, Not sure that would have been as simple had it been the other two. Brand name matters and Baylor and TCU just don't have it. Had Indiana been the B1G champ, TCU and Baylor may have had a chance.

Now, watch the bullshit ratings fly to this post. :beer2:

Yeah we have. Since joining the B1G this is the breakdown of how many times we have played conference opponents.

Illinois - 7 times.
Indiana - 2 times.
Iowa - 9 times.
Maryland - 2 times.
Michigan - 4 times.
Michigan State - 6 times.
Minnesota - 9 times.
Northwestern - 9 times.
Ohio State - 6 times.
Penn State - 4 times.
Purdue - 7 times.
Rutgers - 3 times.
Wisconsin - 9 times.

Our crossovers thus far listed according to fbschedules.com

2021 - Ohio St, Michigan, and Michigan St (oh fuck you)
2022 - Rutgers, Indiana, and Michigan
2023 - Michigan, Maryland, Michigan St
2024 - Michigan, Ohio St, Penn St (go fuck yourself) - those are back to back to back btw.
2025 - Michigan, Indiana, Rutgers
2026 - Not listed yet

@gobucks0409 - judging from future schedules, it does look like a 5 years on or something. I would really like to see the format of this. We have played Ohio St a lot lately, but we play Michigan 5 straight years coming up... but then we have Ohio St again in 2024 so it isn't 5 years off.

I don't know what the fuck this format is, but its fucking gay.

Damn. Need to get rid of divisions. Even if they are balanced out over time, the crossover inequities can make a huge difference in a given year...depending on timing.

The Big Xii already doesn't have divisions, and it is great, and The ACC got rid of divisions for the year. I hope that can help spur a movement to do that in the other conferences too.

No, you sound like a whiner when you make more than half a dozen replies crying about how hard you schedule is.

In 2014, I think 12-1 B1G Champion would have still been chosen over 11-1 Big Xii Co-Champion Oklahoma or Texas specifically due to the missing CCG Data Point. Personally, I think they mishandled the whole situation, but they ended up with the right choice in that first year of the CFP.

I still would throw money that TCU would have beaten both Bama and Oregon had they gotten the bid too.. That team was all wrong offensively for Bama and the defense was finally healthy.

You have a designated cross over opponent for a 6 year stretch. OSU was yours 16-21. Michigan will be on through the 2027 schedule even though it isn't listed there. The other two opponents rotate. It was just a random draw for the 2022-2027 opponent.

And you sure took advantage of it! How many division championship has Iowa won in the last 10 years while taking advantage of Nebraska being down?

One?
