I agree with Todd, teams like Nebraska (which the rebuild is looking strong as ever), Northwestern, and Iowa are going to be powerhouses next year and the other will make a run too.

They only want to do this to eliminate the chances for a team from the west beating out a team from the east.

Why did I vote on this side? I like eight 16-team power conferences and a playoff among the champions of each. Each of the eight powers are divided into divisions. That is the best way. No more crying

You can't know who the 2 best teams are when all the teams don't play each other. Divisions give us a head-to-head... and typically that decides close races. The 'best' team concept is a delusion.

This year you would have had a rematch between OSU and the Michigan Team they hung 60+ points on. How would that make sense?

The big 12 doesn't have divisions & did it to help itself. We don't need to copy them out of frustration based on 1-2 year events. If this becomes an issue for several years it worth exploring.

Changing the division helps some teams and hurts others. Leave them alone. Changing them all the time makes it look like it's being manipulated.

Bad knee jerk reaction brought about by OU getting in playoffs over OSU. I would likely eliminate a B1G team just as often. Don't look now but the East domination is changing.

It would be better to rebalance the divisions keeping some things like the OH/MI games. Also need to reallign schedules so they are better balanced and quit killing ourselves.

Without divisions you are not going to have a fair way of determining a championship game. There will be a time when the West is strong and the East is weak. Look at the Big 12 when they started.

Divisions are the best way to determine which teams should compete for the conference championship, and the winner should earn an automatic berth to the playoff which should be expanded to 8 teams.

Otherwise you'll often have the top two team play each other twice per year and that's not fair to either program. For example: Do you want to watch Michigan and Ohio State play back to back weeks?

Or let's just eliminate conferences and everyone be independent. The divisions make for a smaller goal to achieve and strive for. The Big 10 continues to make huge errors, such as the first divisions.

Looking at the schedule, 5-0 on the front end is a definite possibility. Going 3-4 on the backend is doable. Having said that, there's still no consistency with this team, making 5-7 just as much of a possibility.

The schedule actually is favorable if you look at not just who we play, but when we play them. Looking at the non con, we'll definitely come out of the gate 3-0, then MSU & MD. We can win those. That would be 5-0. 3-4 on the back end is doable, even if you pencil in IU, OR, & OSU as definite L's.

Never would believe this, but we could come away with only 2-4 wins. I do love the new QB, the new DC coordinator and new OL coach. But no proven RBs, limited personnel in the DL,, Rhule has never learned the run first offense, and we have TOO MANY coaches. A hat on backwards isn't going to help.

We saw what we saw last season and that means little hope we can win 5-6 in 2026. Too many new things to know what is going to happen but easy to assume 8 wins is out of the question.

I hate to be this negative but I think we'll be lucky to make a bowl game 😔 Between not being able to beat a ranked opponent, the coaching carousel, no proven QB or RB and just sucking the last 25 years I'm starting to lose hope and lose faith in this staff. GBR 😭

Not possible. Lost our best player to the NFL draft. New OL coach and DC. Major rebuild. Scary to think this is year 4 and NU is talking about a major rebuild. Rhule sells the Kool Aid hard in the off season. GBR!!!

Of course, it should since we had a statue QB, once Lateef was in the offense changed to suit his skill set, and so it follows that Dana will tweak the offense to suit Colandea's skill set and with a new o-line coach changes come.
