Big 10 schedules for their top teams is a joke

[Bamabuzzard]

And yet our commissioner decides we need to go to a 9 game conference schedule. Go look at Ohio St's schedule. Two ranked teams all season. We'll play 6 ranked teams. Other SEC teams will have similar schedules as ours while the Big 10 protects their top teams.

Pretty much. The SEC commish has let the (foot)ball drop in more than one area.

We will have to aggressively demand that our teams get playoff slots if this continues. I'm glad DeBoer is playing more players, as we are going to need them!

I flipped over to Fox yesterday and they showed OSU's schedule and several other teams. It was a joke compared to teams from the SEC.

"But we play nine conference games!"


Oh, and...

"The SEC is afraid to play games up north in December!"

Maybe Franklin will get the boys up to lose close to Ohio State again. Give them a tough game. Maybe Meatchicken can beat them for a 5th straight year.

The BIG 10 once again pulled a Houdini act on the SEC, provoking a reaction when none was necessary. The SEC was already competitive enough without adding Texas and Oklahoma. But now, Commissioner Sankey has taken the bait, agreeing to a nine game conference schedule a move that plays right into the BIG 10 hands.

All this does is make it harder for deserving SEC teams to make the 12 team playoff, while making the path easier for teams in other conferences. The SEC didn’t need to change. Now, it risks cannibalizing itself while others cruise in.

The decision is reversible...the AD's could force the SEC commish to rethink...but I doubt they will
