It's kind of pointless to argue who should or should not go to the playoffs before at least the beginning of November. A week ago, everyone assumed OU would be undefeated. A lot can and will happen in the next month.

Remember when Facebook was just college kids posting pics from Halloween parties and not an existential threat to Western Democracy?

In other news, Michigan @ Penn State in two weeks has been announced as a night game, white out

I was under the impression that there was some flexibility in the Big Ten divisions as far as competitiveness is concerned. Purdue might be reasonably competitive in another year or two, but it's hard not seeing Wisconsin winning 80% of the time.

oh man another night game for them? Don't tell Chris Petersen.

It's the third and, likely final regular season night game. The only one scheduled before the season was Georgia State at home, and that was for the BTN to have something to show in prime time. I doubt Franklin is going to complain about it. It's a tremendous home field advantage.

Reminder that the Big Ten is in this predicament because Jim Delany invited Rutgers and Maryland thinking the Big East/ACC would collapse together, forcing Notre Dame into the conference.

Big Ten should go back to ten, play a round robin schedule.

Big East
-----------
Penn State
Notre Dame
Miami
West Virginia
Pitt
Virginia Tech
Louisville
Boston College
Syracuse
Rutgers (every conference needs a poo poo team)

edit: I'm actually kidding because the Big Ten academic consortium is too important to the university, but it's still an interesting conference lineup

I think the ACC would gladly add Penn State to make 16 with ND with they wanted to leave the Big 10. Which they never will because the money is too good. We've made clear how we feel about WVU, we dislike it so much we'd rather have cheatin hooker buyin Louisville in the conference than WVU. No one wants Rutgers back to the AAC with you.

There was a rumor, and I'm not sure how credible it was, that Penn State had threatened to leave the Big Ten for the ACC, and the addition of regional rivals in Maryland and Rutgers was a concession.

I wouldn't want Penn State in the ACC for a variety of reasons.

Yea you're right. He still took a dumpster fire to the rose bowl last year and Michigan probably has two more regular season losses in them

Edit: poo poo I just learned Michigan has one only one championship since 1970.

I'm not sure what you mean. Penn State was legitimately good in the second half of last season after some people got back from injury.

Other universities barred Spencer on grounds that they couldn't handle security. Unite the Right wasn't about protesting the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue. It was manipulating the First Amendment and the city of Charlottesville to hold a violent rally. That was the plan all along. Florida should realize what they are getting themselves into. They are under no obligation to give Nazism a platform.
