[QUOTE="Shief, post: 1705419, member: 6820"] I may be wrong but I bet this 8 game, no division system will work something like this. X team will have 3 guaranteed opponents each year and will split the 5 games against the other 10 teams. Team X will play 5 teams home and home in years 1 and 2 and then the other 5 teams home and home in years 3 and 4. This will allow a 4 year player to play against every B1G team during their time at home and away. As for Illinois' guaranteed 3 teams, I am betting it will be Northwestern (Rivalry Week/Thanksgiving), Purdue, and Ohio State, with Indiana potentially taking Purdue's place. These games are all traditional rivalry games and playing Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, etc. 2 times in 4 years would be relatively easy to schedule around. If the B1G expands to 16 team, the process can be repeated with a 9 game schedule with 3 being annual opponents and having the 6 rotating games. [/QUOTE]
