A lot can change in 4 and especially 7 yearsOn a similar note, Iowa had better come up with 1-2 dandy opponents for the non-conference schedule in 2024, because their conference schedule is an absolute joke. No OSU, Mich, Mich St or Penn St - it shouldn't even count as a real Big Ten schedule. 2027 will be the same if the schedule pattern remains unchanged.

Things might drastically change in college sports after all the dust settles with the basketball and now football investigation....at least that is my hope. Turns out we think some of these kids are going to “blue bloods” because they are “blue bloods” but it’s really bc most of not all are cheating. Any team or coach that gets top kids annually (100 in football 20-50 in hoops) are probably cheatingI don't disagree with that statement per se, but they could play B1G football for another 500 years, and in 450 of those years the easiest draw a West team would get from the East is Rutgers, Maryland and Indiana.

Florida plays Miami and FSU in the non-con and they are the most embarrassing?

The 9 game conf schedule has cost the Big Ten a spot in the Final Four each of the past 3 years:You can complain all you want but the SEC has it down.
People care more about records than SOS.
Until the playoff committee awards a team with a worse record but better SOS over a team with a better record, it will stay that way.
The B1G May be all honorable by playing 9 conference games and no FCS, but I promise you it won’t help them get more teams over the SEC.
There is absolutely no way in hell you could conclude that 9 conference games kept the big ten out. No way to say whether or not those games happen or not.The 9 game conf schedule has cost the Big Ten a spot in the Final Four each of the past 3 years:
2016: Michigan lost to Iowa which conceivably was their 9th conf game. Had they played Citadel at home (a la Alabama) they would have been in the Final Four.
2017: OSU loses at Iowa (same as above)
2018: OSU loses at Purdue (same as above)
The SEC will always have 1 or 2 teams in the Final Four. With a 9 game conf schedule, the BIG ten will be lucky to get one every other year.
Additionally, more SEC teams are ranked higher than BIG TEN teams with an extra win guaranteed each year. Piss poor short sided decision to go to 9 conf games. Go back to 8!!!
Also, drop the stupid ISU series so we can play a home/home with another P5 team.
What part of “conceivably” did you not understand?There is absolutely no way in hell you could conclude that 9 conference games kept the big ten out. No way to say whether or not those games happen or not.
The sad part is, playing at ISU next year probably kept us off that list.Also, drop the stupid ISU series so we can play a home/home with another P5 team.
Miami and FSU have fallen like a ton bricks since their glory years. I expect Florida to beat both of them.Florida plays Miami and FSU in the non-con and they are the most embarrassing?
Alabama's schedule seems to be #1, with Florida a close 2nd.
Are the authors afraid to say that about Saban?
The sec as a part scheduling FCS teams as their 11th game is a JOKE. There are a couple ACC teams doing the same. B12, Pac12 and B1G do not do that. It is the same sec teams doing it year after year.
Yeah Georgia and Florida are about the only 2 who try and schedule 2 power 5 non conference games. Mainly because just like Iowa they have instate rivals in the another conference with GT and FSU in the ACC. Posted in another thread last year of the 28 ACC and SEC teams 4 played 2 power 5, 23 played 1 power 5 and 1 (Arkansas who had game cancelled vs Michigan so they could play ND) played 0 in their 4 non conference games.
It wouldn't be a bad thing for fan interest if the NCAA stepped in and took over OOC scheduling. TV ratings are going to plummet with the crap being offered to the public.
You cant blame Florida for Miami and FSU sucking. Im sure when they booked both of these games both of the schools were ranked or at least solid opponents. IF Iowa had those 2 teams on in OOC schedule in the future, everyone would be talking about it for the years leading up to the schedule.
