Why is the B10 so lopsided in their divisions?

6Iowa and Purdue the only 2 at a shot for bowl eligibility. The 4 best teams in one division. Did they set it up that way on purpose?

They won't have divisions with the arrival of USC and UCLA.

on 11/25/22 at 4:39 pm to RFDAWGFun unrelated fact:
When the ACC went to divisions, they deliberately rigged their divisions so that Miami and Florida State were in different divisions so they’d meet every year in the ACCCG. Imagine the eyeballs and revenues!
To this day, Miami and Florida State have never met in the ACCCG.

on 11/25/22 at 4:55 pm to lsutigers1992They’ll never put OSU and Michigan in different divisions. That would dilute the final game of the year.
It really wasn’t an issue a long long time because Wisconsin was a consistent top 10 program.
And Michigan outside of 2006 hasn’t really been relevant in the BCS/playoff picture until last year.

on 11/25/22 at 5:04 pm to lsutigers1992Weird take since OSU and Michigan used to be in opposite divisions. They dreamed of having those two meet in the CCG each year. Michigan never won their division though.

on 11/25/22 at 5:09 pm to SoDakHawkI think they only had three years of that setup, though. Playing OSU in consecutive weeks would be miserable.

on 11/25/22 at 5:10 pm to RFDAWGget rid of the divisions, top two teams play each other in the championship or no championship at all, just crown regular season champs. This may be better when we go to 12 team playoff.

Indiana
Purdue
North?
Michigan
MSU
Wisconsin
Minnesota
East?
USC
UCLA
Rutgers
Maryland
West?
Iowa
Nebraska
Northwestern
Illinois
9 game schedule
Your pod (3)

Two teams the other three pods (6) rotated
Or
Your pod (3)
Plus
A permanent divisional pod (4)
- East /West for travel considerations
(NY / DC / Chicago are easier from LA)
- North /South = Michigan and OSU yearly
Plus
Two “rotational“ pods where you play one team per pod each year (2)

The divisions were set up on geography, it just happens that the teams in the east are the best.

on 11/25/22 at 8:18 pm to Football GoodAs has been mentioned a number of times here, the divisions are going away after next year.
I like to think that played into Chryst getting fired this year. Winning the west, a fairly low bar that he was having trouble clearing, was a ticket to the B1G championship game and a likely NY6 bowl.
Won't be so easy going forward. No divisions and throwing USC and UCLA in makes it that much tougher for teams like UW and Iowa. UW's AD knows this.
