re: Anybody else think the B1G messed up the new divisions set to begin in 2014?

It seems to me that the Big 10 has had a problem with tOSU dominating the rest of the conference lately but their bigger problem for the future is they've settled on divisions that will make the imbalance worse. Three of the top four programs are in the Big Ten East (Michigan, tOSU, PSU)
It sounds counter intuitive, but I'd argue that its better to have all thew dominant powers in 1 division in that case. In this set up only 1 of those 3 can play in the CCG in any given year. If you split them up, aren't they more likely to face each other in the CCG? Use the Big 12 as an example. Texas and OU more or less dominated the conference since 2000. If they were in different divisions, they would have played in the CCG in 2000, 03, 04, 06, and possibly 08 depending on what division TTU was in. KSU won the Big 12 CG in 2003, other than that either UT or OU won anyway ever year after that.. At least by them being in different divisions, KSU did win one and Mizzo, CU and NU all got to at least play for the title.

why wouldn't you want want two of the better teams to meet in the CCG? It seems to me the SEC has benefited greatly from the divisions being fairly balanced
