My final alternate scenerio:  what if the Big Ten had a champions week where every team gets to play a 13th game?

Rule #1 :  top 2 teams play in the CCG regardless of whether its a rematch or not.
Rule#2:  other teams must play the highest ranked team still available as long as its not a rematch
Edit:  Rule#3 :  teams with 5 conference games have to play the champions week game on the road. Teams with 4 conference road games get to host a home game during champions week,  unless they are in the CCG.

CCG:  Indiana (9-0) vs Ohio St (9-0)
Game #2:  Illinois (5-4) at Oregon (8-1)
Game #3:  Washington (5-4) at USC (7-2)
Game #4:  Iowa (6-3) at Michigan (7-2)
Game #5:  Minn (5-4) at PSU (3-6)
Game #6:  NW (4-5) at Mich St (1-8)
Game #7:  Neb (4-5) at Rutgers (2-7)
Game #8:  Wisc (2-7) at UCLA (3-6)
Game #9:  Purdue (0-9) at MD  (1-8)

I admit this idea has some flaws in it,  especially when it comes down to who gets to be the home team.  Maybe a rule should be added that only the teams with 4 home conference games get to host during champions week.  But if that can be sorted out,  I kinda like this idea.

Edit: I tweaked the matchups so that everybody gets at least 5 home conference games except for Ohio St and Indiana.  Essentially the old Big Ten east plus Oregon and UCLA played 5 road games this year,  so they all should get a home game.  Since Ohio St and Ind were both supposed to be home teams,  i flipped the highest ranked road team (USC) to a home game instead

We are all equal but some are more equal than others.

It would be fun for fans, but the conference brass would never agree to it. 

We want to get 4 teams in the CFP. If you're basically forcing the #3 and #4 teams in the conference to play each other, you guarantee one of them a loss. 

In your scenario, do the B1G b1gw1gs *really* want to see Oregon get upset by Illinois and fail to make the CFP?
