    With Big 10 media days going on all they talk about is how unfair it is for some conferences (read SEC) to have only 8 conference games. They are so full of shit and only want us to play 9 so SEC teams would have a better chance of taking a loss.
    The Big 10 is extremely top heavy along with the ACC so I put together my own ranking as if the two conferences were merged. If there was a way to increase the gaps I would put their bottom feeders way down and even compare them to a D3 school.
    The other thing is that us S. Car and KY play our rivalry game outside the conference. That needs to be taken into account as well.
    Also, how many different teams from the Big 10 have won a Natty in the last 10 years hell, 30 years, including the new teams.

    Meh, we should play 10 and screw FSU…no need for that to be permanent. I’d rather rotate with other teams.
