Since they don't want to play non-conference games, we have no idea how good their teams will be.


I find it funny that Iowa can go play Maryland or Rutgers but can't play Iowa State.

How do we know their teams are any good if they don't play outside if the league? I mean the B1G has struggled with Sunbelt teams in the past.

How do we know if they are any good if other conferences won't play them in the playoffs?

Um you watch the games. Sorry you can’t judge talent when you see it.

The reason isn't proximity, it's because the B10 can control testing and procedures at every single university that their universities are playing. If Michigan is doing great at testing because of the B10 and they go and play some podunk Tennessee school who thinks that COVID is made up, it can cause huge issues for the conference and the schedule; and also the liability of the school and conference.

When did Tennessee join the B1G? I remember them losing to Georgia State, I don’t remember Ohio State losing to a Sun Belt team

Not really. Of course it's because of Covid-19 but it's much less about travel and more about schedule flexibility. With an all conference schedule, you can make sure everybody has the same bye weeks. In that case, you can reschedule any game that is cancelled because a team has an outbreak during the bye week. It's not going to be feasible to reschedule OOC games with every conference doing their own thing.

You can also move the start of the season (which the PAC 12 is planning to do) and make sure everyone starts practice at the same time without putting anyone at a competitive disadvantage.
