How do you split into two 5 team divisions and keep OU, OSU, and Texas in the same division?
I really hate the idea of the only teams OSU guaranteed to face every year would be KU, KSU, WVU, and ISU.

I guess they keep the 9 game schedule though, making the divisions pointless.

Edit: Now the only way OSU wins a conference title is by beating OU or Texas twice in a year. ugh.

Wouldn't the plans eventually be expansion to 12? I hear UConn is available :)

I don't understand what he point is of splitting into 2 random divisions. Keep all 10 teams together and the best 2 go to the ship.

I would split into two 5 teams divisions and play 8 conference games instead of 9. Give them a breather game out of conference and increase the chances you end with an undefeated champion. I don't see the logic of the divisions if you're still playing all 9 games.
