As far as Wisconsin, King Berry would love it if they were declared ineligable for the CCG. He hates having to play any team with a pulse from the opposite division. So that example doesn't refute my theory at all. :d030:

One SEC game off this week, so that's better anyway.

Two SEC games cancelled or PPD, to be replaced by Vandy playing Mizzou.

Yeah, Arkansas and Tennessee are out, they were to play Mizzou and Vandy.  The conferences have been very flexible I think and innovative.

Has the Big Ten had to cancel multiple games in the same week yet?

IIRC, the Big Ten/Pac 12 were the first conferences to announce the possibility of two schools, where both opponents had cancelled, to instead play each other.  The SEC, Big XII, and ACC all have had weekends where multiple games were called off, and they didn't do that.

So it seems like the Big Ten has been both safer and more flexible.

I really like that the Big Ten appears to have been safer to this point

I don't like that they had no plan to replace opponents that were not safe.  Either non-con or another conference team.

well, until it happened to Ohio State

Nobody did.  The Big Ten approved the possibility of doing it before the SEC, Big XII or ACC did, even with the late start

I think they made that announcement before the OSU/MD cancellation. It was after Wisconsin missed two games in a row and they realized that if someone else cancelled on Wisconsin, the conference's best of the West wouldn't be eligible for the CCG.

Of course we hadn't realized that Northwestern is the best of the West yet.
