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

You think that's bad BB back in December ESPN was previewing the game between the Chargers-Chiefs.The douche nozzle Sreamin'A.Smith was bumping his gums about the most important match up in the game.He picked 2 players(I forget who) that weren't playing and had not played all season.ELA provided the video on page 12 of the NFL Thread.How many people were laid off and they retain that spam brain?When informed of his obvious ignorance he had that definitive Deer in the Headlights look.Can't make this shit up.I hope the guys that prepare his taxes and repair his brakes are as incompetent

Yeah I get that they are idiots. These clowns have absolutely no idea which teams are in what conference. And listening to them guess is just sad, as they will spit out conferences that no longer exist. Like the Wac. Or the Big East. When I have harped on them for this in the past, their defenders are quick to point out that they cover the Buckeyes, not college football. Fine. I can forgive them for not noticing the Michigan-Wisconsin series. But OSU-Nebraska? They spend the entire off-season breaking down the schedule. They spend all of game week previewing the game. They recap it the following Monday. And they get paid well enough to live in the same neighborhood as several Buckeye assistant coaches and former players that had NFL careers. These are the best Jabber jocks that we can find?

Clearly their incompetence has not cost them a listener [you]...

True dat. Helps pass the workday.

The future... not that I'd want it, but it will be super conferences:  Two 8 or 10 team divisions that replicate the old conferences and then come together championship games.   Divisions will feel like conferences and conferences will be affiliations to create negotiating power.

I thought Mizzou was finished as soon as Tom Osbourne tossed Nebraska's name into the hat?

I think you are right that super conferences are likely inevitable.  I hope, however, that we end up at 16 rather than 20.  
I've laid out my plan for 4 pods of 4 teams each and I would be pretty happy with that overall.  My basic structure is that each team would play (football):

• Their three pod-mates every year (three games per year, nine games every three years, 18 games every six years (six home/six road against each))
• Their three group-mates every year (three games per year, nine games every three years, 18 games every six years (six home/six road against each))
• Three of the nine other teams each year (three games per year, nine games every three years, 18 games every six years (one home/one road against each))

That way, to most fans, it would "feel like" you were in a conference with your three pod-mates and your three group-mates.  Your team would play those six schools every year and host/visit those six schools every other year.  You would also maintain a reasonable connection to the other schools.  You would play each of the other nine schools once every three years and host/visit them once every six years.  

If we went to a 20-team super-conference with fixed 10-team divisions then even with a 10-game league schedule each team would only play one of the 10 cross-divisional opponents each year.  It would take 10 years to play them all and 20 years to host/visit them all.  

The application should just have one question.

1. Are you Larry Scott?

As long as you answer no, you are probably minimally qualified to be a Power 5 commission.
