Curious to hear what people's thoughts on this would be?
Personally I think there needs to be some sort or realignment, 2 years ago we all knew UW had a real shot at 9-0 up to this point in the schedule and here we are.... Between the divisions there's just not much balance (kind of like the Big12 years ago)
In Farrells scenario we'd loose the MN & IA rivalry games, but you'd still have Nebraska & PSU/MSU every year would be fun.
DIVISION A
Ohio State
Michigan
Iowa
Northwestern
Purdue
Minnesota
Illinois
This keeps the traditional rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan alive (sorry Michigan State), and makes for a much more competitive division with the addition of Iowa and Northwestern. Sorry Purdue, Minnesota and Illinois, you’re out of luck, but someone has to be.
DIVISION B
Penn State
Wisconsin
Michigan State
Nebraska
Rutgers
Maryland
Indiana
Michigan State and Penn State already have a rivalry of sorts, and now Penn State-Wisconsin and Wisconsin-Michigan State can become a thing. This makes for a much more exciting “second” division in the conference and some new match ups that would draw some interest. The biggest goal of changing things up is to get Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan State out of the same division. Mission accomplished, right?
My assumption? Most Big Ten fans would hate this, but change is hard.
