I only liked the current ones because OSU drew Nebraska, I suppose. 

If we can't have them, then I'd prefer to simply put the illibuck back on the annual.

 The names out of a hat thing is just dumb.

just make the divisions large enough that there's no need for any cross overs

9-team divisions would be great.  Round robin playing the other 8 teams, send the champ to the CCG

I keep saying two 10 team divisions.  One division of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, MSU, Minnesota, Northwestern, OSU, Purdue and Wisconsin; and one of Arizona, ASU, Cal, Oregon, OSU, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Washington and WSU.  Then they could play their conference championship on New Years Day in Pasadena.

I'd like that with a 10-team conference from Texas to Nebraska

They shoulda gave PSU to Iowa.
Things are always changing but I would set up round 2 of the fixed crossovers like this:
OSU-Wisc (best teams in each division)
MSU-Iowa  ( because NW got MSU last time)
PSU-Neb (brcause they are traditional powers)
Mich-NW ( because NW got MSU last time)
MD-ILL  (because ILL got Rutgers last time)
Rut-Minn (because ILL got Rut last time and Minn has slid below NW and Iowa in the pecking order)
Indy-Pur (because they have to play each other)

Northwestern has Rutgers, not MSU. Illinois has MSU, not Rutgers.

No. Those are the current fixed rivals.

I don't think I mentioned this in my previous post, but I'm not in favor of getting rid of the divisions.

The rich would just continue to get rich while the bottom tier teams would continue to stay at the bottom.

Terrible recipe for college football. It's bad enough we have a playoff system that favors the rich getting richer.

I think a large portion of husker fans would have liked to have seen PSU instead of Michigan... due to having a history with that program.

OK.  There are now 14 teams in the B1G.  So you drop the divisions, move to a 13-game conference schedule, and play a full roundrobin.  That solves all the problems doesn't it?

I take it you were talking about my post?
Because it's only the rich that would care to keep it that way.
