How bad is Big ten east and west disparity?

[cyclonestunners]

It's bad. After this game, the east has won nine straight B10 championship games. And not just won, Dominated.

The total points scored is 320-147, for an average in of 19.2 ppg.

They need to shuffle the divisions for sure.

10 team is the best conference, 12 team can work with an even rotation but less desirable. B1G setup and scheduling is embarrassing.

It's honestly worse than the old B12 North/South disparity

 

[StLouisClone]

The teams in the East probably like it this way

I'm glad we're going to get back some stability but I'm really, really, really going to miss a 10 team league.

 

[SEIOWA CLONE]

The West side is 0-8 with 7 of them being blowouts. Time to move the Michigan teams to the west and put Nebraska and NW in the East.

EIU fans would hate it, but they have to do something other than collect paychecks thanks to the East side of the conference.

Legends and Leaders!

The B1G west is a total disaster. They prove it every year.

Michigan teams and move Purdue and Illinois to the west.

I’ll miss it only if we do traditional divisions. We need to keep the 9-game schedule and come up with something creative that doesn’t lock everyone in a 6-team division forever.

 

[cyputz]

About a 40 pt. Difference.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

It's also the scheduling. The best team from the west was not playing tonight. Because while Purdue and Wisconsin are playing tOSU and/or Michigan in the crossover's Iowa is playing Maryland and Indiana.

 

[pourcyne]

East is 14 times better. (14 x 3 = 42)

 

[iowastatefan1929]

Iowa is just missing some talented skill players, so close yet so far away, Wisconsin is usually the best bet in the West, just not enough talent out here in Iowa and surrounding states to keep up.

The Leaders/Legends looked weird at the time but maybe they were better.

 

[Sigmapolis]

Worse than the old Big 12 North and Big 12 South could have ever imagined being.

The Big Ten should just drop divisions already and just have the two best.

That game would have been 1,000x more interesting with a Michigan and Ohio State rematch.

And Ohio State deserved another shot at Michigan way more than Iowa did.

 

[iowastatefan1929]

We have to stop thinking that the schedule should be set more than 2 weeks in advance. Chaos should be maximized in college football, not contained.
