I get that point too. But I cant see a Big ten team going over a Texas or OU. Basing it of strength of schedule.

it's not strength of schedule. It's a horsecrap beauty contest driven by media clowns and swayed by coaches, staffs, admins and otherwise. This gives them a much better shot at getting into the conversation. I like Pelini, but he isn't going to be recruiting evenly with TX or OU any time soon.

Beat JoePa, and maybe The Vest and you've got a shot right?

I can understand it.

Furthermore, I hate to see em go. Thats a classy fan base.

And the Big Ten gets way more pull than they ought to. Look at how many in sports media are Big Ten (esp. N'Western) alums.

Even though with this new alignment that everybody suspects, which ought to CLEARLY put the Big Ten in a back seat to the Pac-10 and SEC, they will get just as much consideration.

Points well taken.

So they are taking the easier road more less?

Exactly. I think it's a great move for Nebraska and Missouri. Big 12 issuing an ultimatum was absolutely stupid.

Who will be in line for the Michigan job come seasons end or next seasons end?

Reason being I dont see Rich Rod keeping the sinking ship afloat any longer than that.

I'm only surmising, but if that hymen gets broken, I think it's inevitable.

Only out of pure evilness, I would have to chuckle if the Big 10 took Nebraska then told Mizzou no thanks, we're not interested anymore.

(Not that I think that will happen.)

Sorry, I've only had time to skim this thread and saw this, but is there a chance Texas goes west and A&M goes to the SEC?

It's not official but it looks all but official that Nebraska is heading to the Big 10. It will be interesting to see what happens next. I think at least one more team would have to move for things to really heat up but this looks like the first domino.

If I asked a random Longhorn fan whether they'd rather beat OU and lose to aTm or lose to OU and beat aTm, I bet 90% pick the former


aTm : Texas : OU
UCLA : USC : ND
Mich St : Mich : tOSU
NC St : UNC : Duke

sorry, but it's true

well I mean they are beating them (atm) pretty regularly right now...

How many people here (before 2007) said they'd be just fine beating Florida if they lost to Alabama?

Or back in the first half of the decade where a bunch of people were arguing that UGA was our main rival and not UF or Bama.


Football fans are pretty fickle. Whoever they're beating, they don't care about. Then they lose 2-3 games in a row to them and the bad blood begins to boil again...it's kinda well weird sometimes
