FWIW, Maryland is a Mid-Atlantic state, along with Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. Some count Virginia and West Virginia, as well.

I was going North of the Mason Dixon, and East of Ohio. S

no Maryland, Delaware, W Virginia, etc. Those plus Virginia, DC and the Carolinas are the Mid Atlantic, imo.

I was just wondering if Maryland is considered a "Big Ten" state. I know Maryland is in the conference, but in general the conference is made up of Midwest schools. I guess central PA is Midwest, kinda??
Western PA is solidly Midwest.  Pittsburgh is more like Indianapolis than it is like Philly.

Is Maryland considered a Northern state? I know they were a slave state, but they remained in the union.
Historically, Maryland was considered one of the "Chesapeake" colonies, along with Virginia.
For U.S. Census purposes, it's in the South Atlantic Division of The South.

Pennsylvania is Pittsburg and Philly divided by Alabama.

And of course Maryland is south of the M-D line.  It's all pretty arbitrary.

I noted "they" call the Auburn-UGA game the "oldest rivalry in the Deep South" because the UNC-UVA rivalry is older.

I'm aware that Maryland is mid-Atlantic. The company I worked for before I started in business was HQ's in Baltimore, and that was also the main mid-Atlantic office. I was the co-head of the Chicago office at that time.

So, is Maryland a Big Ten state? We know for sure it's not Midwest, a distinction it shares with New Jersey.

When I first went there with Gator back in 2003 he called the middle "Pennsyltucky". I laughed.

Big Ten-SEC has always been divided along Civil War lines. So Maryland is fine.

That and the Pac 12 remaining west of the Central Time Zone are the only two geographical distinctions that our modern conference alignments have maintained from the past. Hope it stays that way going forward.

Kentucky was a border state obviously and never seceded except by a temporary faked Legislature installed and voted and ran.

Kentucky's role in the CW was analogous to Maryland's.

Kentucky and Missouri count as "part of the Confederacy" for this particular exercise. O0
