1. Big Game Boomer is more Skip Bayless than real sourceYeah not sure what information was used to make the list. Did find it somewhat amusing that there were I think 6 BIG stadiums on the worst list.
The SEC is becoming the Red Sox vs. Yankees of college football.
TV is determined to shove SEC down our throats and make us love every minute of it.
Yeah, I’ve found over the years that compiling bathroom quality rating lists is a sure sign you’re dealing with a piss poor source.1. Big Game Boomer is more Skip Bayless than real source
2. Apparently pee-troughs is an automatic go to the bad bathroom list.
Then I hope you win!My answer to the "What's the first thing you do?" winning the $1B Mega lotto......start D1 Hockey at my Alma Mater.

While this guy's comment is sort of true, I am getting a bit of a Dunning Kruger Effect vibe with some people talking about realignment. It's like they JUST figured out that the facts Oklahoma State has won a lot of football games in the last decade or that Duke is good at basketball don't move the needle, and now they think they have this secret knowledge that they need to share with the masses ... except they simplify the hell out of it.
Would like to clear about $450 mil. Number 1 priority: St. Jude $200 Mil. Number 2 priority: Remodel the stadium $200 mil. Then $50 mil. for wife and me, family and friends.nice
I watch two conferences. The B1G and the SEC. Don't care a thing about the others. Have attended a few Georgia games. SEC crowds elevate the viewing experience whether in person or on TV.The SEC is becoming the Red Sox vs. Yankees of college football.

Not if your a fan of the visiting team.I watch two conferences. The B1G and the SEC. Don't care a thing about the others. Have attended a few Georgia games. SEC crowds elevate the viewing experience whether in person or on TV.
Nebraska AD issues big warning to college football fans
Nebraska Cornhuskers athletics director Trev Alberts issued a big warning to college football fans and the college football world at large. Alberts spokelarrybrownsports.com
Especially when SEC teams play teams from up north. Have a friend that is a Purdue grad. Told me when he and a group of Purdue fans attended the Outback Bowl against Georgia (2004?), they were continuously abused by Georgia fans. Having lived in Georgia for awhile now, I can believe it. Southern football is deeply ingrained in the southern psyche as a reflection of personal, local and regional perseverance and pride.Not if your a fan of the visiting team.
Interesting that since Purdue is from the North, their fans were "continuously" abused by their Peach State counterparts. I guess if Georgia's opponent were Arizona State, the abuse would have merely been intermittent? Lol abuse!Especially when SEC teams play teams from up north. Have a friend that is a Purdue grad.

You have to have USC-UCLA and Oregon-UW as protected games. Those are bigger rivalries than ones vs. the historical big schools, which don’t even really exist.Ranking each Big Ten team based on current state, long-term success in expanded league
See where Michigan State football stands amongst its peers when the league expands to 18 teams in 2024sports.yahoo.com
18 team B1G+
Lazy day Saturday and I like thinking about these things even though it’s not going to happen.
Used the yahoo article to divide teams evenly while considering geography
Top 3: Ohio State, Michigan, USC
Next 3 : Penn St, Wisconsin, Oregon
Next 3 : Iowa, Michigan State, Washington
Next 3 : Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska
Next 3 : Maryland, Purdue, UCLA
Next 3 : Rutgers, Indiana, NW
Established 2 protected rivals for each team using trophy games
Last, matched up the remaining with protected rivals that made the most sense.
Rival trophy games in bold
Central Division - Ranking Total = 57
1-Ohio St / Michigan, UCLA
4-Penn St / Michigan State, USC
9-Iowa / Minnesota, Wisconsin
12-Illinois / NW, Purdue
14-Maryland / Oregon, Indiana
17-Rutgers / USC, Washington
Northern Division - Ranking Total = 58
2-Michigan / Ohio St, NW
6-Wisconsin / Iowa, Nebraska
8-Michigan St / Penn St, Oregon
11-Minnesota / Iowa, Nebraska
15-Purdue / Illinois, Washington
16-Indiana / UCLA, Maryland
Western Division - Ranking Total = 56
3-USC / Penn St, Rutgers
5-Oregon / Michigan St, Maryland
7-Washington / Purdue, Rutgers
10-Nebraska / Minnesota, Wisconsin
13-UCLA / Ohio St, Indiana
18-Northwestern / Illinois, Michigan
Missing Rivalry Games
Iowa / Nebraska - 53 times
Minnesota / Penn St - 15 times
Next goal was to play home and away at every school within 4 years
17 teams to play
5 are in division and 2 rivals
10 teams remaining
12 game B1G schedule
Year 1 (6 home / 6 away)
Play 5 division games (3 home / 2 away)
Play 2 protected rivals (1 home / 1 away)
Play 5 opponents (2 home / 3 away)
Year 2 (6 home / 6 away)
Play 5 division games (2 home / 3 away)
Play 2 protected rivals (1 home / 1 away)
Play 5 same opponents (3 home / 2 away)
Years 3 and 4 follow years 1 and 2 with the other 5 opponents
Establish winner of each division using only division games
Championship game
- Head to Head record between 3 division winners
- Record against 2nd place teams in 3 divisions
- Etc. I’m sure it could be figured out somehow
I kinda feel like they have to have a round robin of pacific protected games to help alleviate the travel burden, right?You have to have USC-UCLA and Oregon-UW as protected games. Those are bigger rivalries than ones vs. the historical big schools, which don’t even really exist.
I put them in the same division so they would play every year. I was placing as many teams that had rivalry trophies in the same division and when not possible I had to account for them in the additional protected rivalries outside of their division. Purdue-Indiana, Michigan-Michigan State, Ohio St-Illinois etc etc are all accounted for by being in the same division.You have to have USC-UCLA and Oregon-UW as protected games.

Probably not NW because they’ve never seen the trophy.I put them in the same division so they would play every year.

Interesting thing when looking them up, how many knew there’s a Michigan - NW “George Jewett Trophy” rivalry game?
