[Husker] Big Ten Scheduling

[Mike Nolan]

> I can see it divided into 4 - 4 team divisions. You would play the 3 other teams in your division every season and the 2 from the other 3 divisions. That gives a 9 game conference schedule.  I can't see anyone wanting more than that and still do a meaningful out of confernce game. 
 
I thought of the 3+2+2+2 9 game conference schedule, too.  That has the
advantage that you would play all non-division teams twice every 4 years.  

> The down side is there is always that chance of 4 undefeated teams then and how to tie break those

The best way to deal with it is to have semi-final games.  If Division 1 FCS and
the lower divisions can handle multi-round playoffs, Division 1 FBS can too.
(And think of the additional money it would bring in.)

Anybody want to set up a pool on which conference approaches the NCAA
with this idea first?
