False Louisville: 48th biggest TV market Washington DC: 8th biggest TV market Baltimore: 24th biggest TV market /Jim Delaney ND doesn't need Maryland to get on TV in DC.

There's like one big ten school that's hard to get admission to. And yet Iowa is the one that literally responded in two days and has counselors suggesting it as a backup plan to other big 10 schools. Maybe your child is a qualified candidate? I'm not sure what your point is, Tim. Iowa is a well regarded school, in line with every big ten college not called NW or Michigan. It's professional schools are very well regarded nationally. It's a great college town. Nebraska is much less so and its non-football sports are not good fits for the big ten either.

While I agree with your overall point, that seems a rather natural match-up. We (every Iowa fan i knew as a kid) all hated Nebraska. That was the first cfb team I ever truly hated. I don't even know why. I get the geographic proximity but it was a team we hadn't played regularly in like forever. There are a number of Midwest teams that haven't been regulars on Iowa's schedule. Nebraska just isn't a fit for the big ten, outside of football. Just curious, how are they are worse fit for the big 10 than, say, Iowa? Seriously? You mean Iowa, the school with a top 30 law program and top 30 medical school? Located in a great college town? I think Nebraska is the only big ten school not in the AAU, right? Yes, I mean Iowa, the only school I'm aware of in the big 10 that grants instant admittance to out of state students because they are so desperate for qualified applicants. btw - I say this as someone with a HS senior applying for colleges right now. The HS counselor suggested applying to Iowa as a backup because, "they'll take just about anyone right now." That's a good point. Iowa is the only school in the big ten, no, the country, that accepts almost any qualified applicant. Those other big ten schools are far more selective.

I don't like it at all. The conferences are watered down and divided. I know y'all think I hate the big ten but I've been an Iowa fan forever and I hate what's happened to their schedule. Now you'll have a 14 or 16 team conference where you play the same 6-7 teams every year but the rest of your conf mates you play 1-2 times a decade and then the two winners of those divisions play at the end of the year. How's that significantly different than having a 10-team conf with a 7-8 game schedule, playing 4 OOC teams and ending the year playing a team at about your level from another conf in a bowl? But instead of playing OSU and Wisconsin we have to play Nebraska and Maryland or Rutgers? What the [expletive]?

25 year old Josh Beckett? -
Like 24 year old Miguel Cabrera?

I'm being a smart ass but it's a good move for the acc. Maryland was not a significant loss and they added probably the best available candidate. The key to the acc, I suspect, is keeping fsu, Miami, and UNC and Duke. I won't worry much about the conf falling apart unless one of those schools bolts.

Half means partial. Variance includes any outcome whatsoever. This is the world Kyle creates. Mariner's Revenge thinks I am some sort of God who creates worlds. See? Land of make believe where Kyle is king. -
What candidates are out there that you'd prefer? Would Muschamp come back?

Not in November 2012, no. When at least 4 of the starting rotation spots are already taken? "Taken" in the sense that the players are set in stone? -
Is Mack Brown in trouble if Texas loses this weekend?

What does Bob Diaco have to do with this?

How many wins did Ohio State's opponents have this year? They would've hit the lottery all the way to the NC game this year. edit: 70 but that's high because off the top of my head I know IU and Purdue's win totals include an FCS team each, I'm sure there are others I think he only discounted games won by the FCS opponents the SEC teams slaughtered, not opponents' opponents Right. The total less fcs opponents means take away the win total of fcs teams on the schedule in question. Doesn't hurt Bama bc they scheduled maybe the worst football team in the entire country whose sole victory came against a team that doesn't even have an espn page (and may not even have helmets). Hurts Georgia bc the fcs team they played won 8 games. Lots of opponents' win totals are artificially high. Florida gets credit for FSU and its double digit wins but FSU played a terrible schedule. Not sure how much there is to be gained by continuing to dissect it. Just thought it was interesting the disparity in the SEC.

And after I selfishly cheered for OU in 91% of their games so far. Don't you know that your happiness was a small, almost entirely insignificant, consideration for me? haha, i hate ou so much right now that i had forgotten ND beat them and I spent 30 seconds going "what was the other 9 percent?" I actually cheered for OU in that game. But I'll never turn my back on Charlie Weis. NEVER
-
The part of my post that got cut off bc I'm an idiot: Florida: 92 I actually brought it up bc Spurrier was whining about how easy Bama and Georgia's schedules were. USC had like 85 so he's got a point.
-
Total games won by opponents: ND: 79 Bama: 70 (69 if you only count fbs schools) Georgia: 71 (63 if only fbs schools)

Go Wisco. An unranked big x champ would be perfect this year.
