Dean Just Learned...

That as conference realignment occurs and conferences disband that schedules get tougher. Is this a tough schedule? Sure. Is it abnormal in the new B1G? No chance.

Dean knew that Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLAbia were all coming over, didn't he?

People really don't seem to understand that seeing teams run the table gets more and more unlikely.

The conference is obviously going to be tougher. They do have a 9-4 team and a playoff team in their non conference schedule when most P5 teams have scheduled cupcakes in those slots. Not defending Michigan though, I hope those cheaters go 0-12.

 

[doublewing]

Agreed. Saw the tweet this AM and didn't get why he found this worth sharing.

Besides the Texas non-con game, this is a pretty standard schedule in the new conference.

In 2024, there will only be ONE team in the Big Ten that avoids all 5 of these teams:

Ohio State
Oregon
USC
Michigan
Penn State


That team is Cockeye.

Of course they will.

We will see this more and more as we are in the ratings business.

Cockeye doesn’t play any of those teams because the product they put on the field is completely unwatchable. Nobody is making sure they tune in to watch Cockeye in prime time.

I was actually incorrect. They do play at Ohio State. But aside from that matchup, their schedule is considerably easier than any other team in the Big Ten.

So with the 12 team playoff, how many teams can the B1G conference get into it? 3-4?

ACC will get 1. Big 12 will get 1. G5 will get 1. Rest will come from SEC and B1G.

The product they put on the field is completely unwatchable. So I am not surprised. Nobody wants to watch a game like they played against Michigan in the B1G championship.

 

[Juro]

ACC will get 1. Big 12 will get 1. G5 will get 1. Rest will come from SEC and B1G.

How many from the PAC?

Do you guys remember the Brian Fellows skit on SNL?

Andy Staples put the over under for SEC and B1G at 4 a piece.

I think about it every day Tone. Such an apt reference.

Sam Mckewon is in similar territory for me now that he tweets like he’s an analyst of the game
