Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

The Pac 12 also has two teams from non-bordering states.
Luckily the Big Ten has two teams from bordering states. So that one should be okay.
The SEC and Big XII each have one in-state team and one team from a bordering state.
The ACC has a team from a bordering state and a team from a non-bordering state.

The SEC is always fine.  Big Ten has been fine too except the one year we had a bunch of Nebraska fans holding out for a Rose Bowl trip against a bunch of Wisconsin fans that were not super stoked to watch their 7-5 3rd place team "play for a title." ACC has had some bad ones in the past, but I think Clemson fans have done better.  Not sure about the Big XII, but I don't recall it ever being a problem.  In the early days of the game it was THE championship game, whereas the SEC Championship Game was played in September between Florida and Tennessee.

Same, you take so much that is unique and special about college football and strip it away.  At that point you are just watching an NFL game, but a worse version, with even less atmosphere.  Granted still less canned music than Beaver Stadium.

SEC C-game in ATL is OK. B1G game, at least play it outdoors in say Chicago. 
The rest need home field. 

The Big XII CCG has been a mixed bag.   Not a sellout the first year, in St. Louis, which did next to nothing to tout the game.  That was a dubious host city for the game.  Some years the game did quite well, a few years were not very good, crowd wise.  Mostly good though.   The B1G game does enjoy pretty good geography, compared to Pac 12 for sure, plus they don't care about anything.    Even if Nebraska makes the game from time to time, I don't see them ever going hog wild for the game,  750 miles away,  chances are they would know they are in it with 7-8 days notice.   The fans love to travel yes, but they love to plan ahead for it.  

I sense, I guess we'll find out tomorrow night, but a little Buckeye fatigue with the game.  There are still a lot of seats for sale at face or less, which is good for those of us buying on site.  I do think the Buckeye fans have gotten smart on showing up and buying on site.   I've attended all the games, except last year, and only once did I have tickets in advance.  Only Iowa/MSU was a game where I had to work hard, and still paid over face.  NW v Mich would've made this a pricey game tomorrow night.

Utah has a beef. That was PI.

Looked like bang, bang play in real time, but PI in slow mo. 

Couldn't hang through that offensive explosion last night.  Actually slept in, and none of the kids are awake.  What a time to be alive.

Making short ribs today. Gonna serve them over a puree of Yukon golds, sweet potato and butternut squash, with a side of pan seared asparagus.

Even w/o the ribs that's an impressive platter
