I heard this from some other sports websites and posters boards. Apparently the Big 10 thinks their schools schedules are too tough. What a joke......https://www.google.com/amp/s/articl...ootball_rumors_could_big_ten_go_back_to_8.amp
BIG 10 CONSIDERING GOING BACK TO 8 CONFERENCE GAMES
- Thread starter isu5000
- Start date
The SEC would never play the gauntlet that the B10 teams face. Both need those 4 cupcakes and the bye week to rest their starters.
Actually, playing out of conference games might improve the schedule for some of the teams, especially when their rotation gives them all crappy teams.
Lol this is the most Big 10 move ever
It sounds like they want to do what the S$C has been getting away with, to help their College football playoffs chances and to make thier conference look stronger/competitive overall(not). So who are the mighty Hawkeyes gonna select for their fourth non conference game? What FBS Football Juggernaut? Kent State, Bowling Green, or Nevada.
I see Nebraska's new AD should fit right in with their idiotic fan base:
"We might have some other schedule news here in a week or so in regards to 2022, on," Moos said. "It was something I really became a bulldog on in regards to Nebraska and some of the traditional power programs in the Big Ten not beating each other up so bad."

A sport that tries actively tries to decrease the number marquis match-ups is a sport that is eating its seed corn. The problematic mentality of "poll-based" national championships asserts itself again -- it is about avoiding mistakes, not actually proving yourself against good teams.

I'd be ok with playing only 8 B12 games rather than 9. Of course, with our luck it'd be KU that drops off the schedule.
Iowa can finally do that neutral site game with ND that Yeahbuddy has been talking about.
Hopefully its still possible.
I can see the Iowa BIG schedule now...
- Maryland
- Indiana
- Illinois
- Bye Week after the daunting Illini game
- Rutgers
- Indiana
- Purdue
- Nebraska (A fitting end to the season)
This comes after a pre-conference schedule that includes ISU (their toughest game), Northern Illinois, Nevada, Northern Iowa, and Kent State.
Now that is a slate of games that I want to spend my $'s on...

Big Ten West schedules would consistently be the easiest in college football if they aren't already. They'd travel to Ohio State, Michigan and PSU less than once per decade.
Didn't directional Michigan actually beat them one year?
