But that only becomes preferential if:
  • The structure lasts an odd number of years, and
  • The structure that replaces it fails to balance things out.
Ok, I guess it is hypothetically potentially preferential. That is extremely weak as evidence of preferential treatment.


Peace, my friend.

When the conference went to 9 games, which division was the first to have 5 at home? That actually happened.

You're not going to convince me that they flipped a coin, and yes, I know it flips every year.
I still not sure if you are serious,  but I believe they went with East first in 2016 because it work out better with most of the team's existing non-conference schedules.

For example Iowa already had a home and home series with Iowa State that it wanted to keep playing.  Since that was already set up for Iowa to play Iowa State in Iowa City in even number years and play in Ames in odd years,  it made sense for Iowa to get 4 Big ten home games in even years and 5 Big Ten home games in odd years.  It just kind of worked out to most team's benefit to do it that way. 

Now if you are asking why they started playing 9 games in 2016 and not 2015 or 2017,  that's a good question.  Probably because MD and Rut joined in 2014 I guess and they needed 2 years to adjust.

Not really, because I don't actually care.

I have to get some satisfaction out of picking on OSU since my team can't beat them on the field.

8 conference games is the way to go, unless/until the selection committee starts to punish you for doing it. It's bad for football fans but good for the conference's pocketbook.
With conference expansion, 8 game conference schedules will not buoy up the conference, and will not increase TV revenues. There are enough weak conference members for middling teams to get to a bowl. Fewer conference games dilute the TV schedule.

If you play 8 conference games and at least 2 more P5s OOC I think it's fine for the committee.

Interesting team pairings for the two years coming up.

USC gets a bit of a rough ride here. UCLA catches a break.

Iowa is not gonna have much variety with 3 protected conference rivals, and one protected OOC rival. This is not like PSU, which has complete freedom.

It makes me wonder what the Big Ten will do when they expand to 18 or 20 teams.  They will either have to...

expand to 10 conference games 

or start playing some teams every 3 years instead of every 2 years.

Or go to just 1 protected rival and play everybody else once every 2 years.  I can't see this option working for Michigan.

In the case of 20, just don't have any crossover games.  Then a CCG will actually make sense.  Like a B1G World Series from back in the day.

I don't think I could stomach not having games against UM, OSU, MSU, PSU.

And if FSU, Miami or both were to join, I'd want them so I could easily see my guys.

Since the Wolverines shied away from the 2020 game, Penn State is by far OSU's longest running continuous series at 30 years. 

So now that it's finally gaining some of that tradition that it lacked, of course they are pulling the plug.

I think once a conference hits 24 it's really two conferences of 12.

Maybe even at 16 it's two.

De facto.

There is an obvious problem with geography of course.
