I'm excited for this season, I think Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Penn State are all going to be very good. I could see Purdue being really dangerous too now that Hudson will hopefully have some more help. I expect a significant drop off from Ohio State, but Londot will still be one of the most potent players in the conference. Illinois who knows lol their fans seem convinced their backrow play is going to improve, they do seem like they tend to be very competitive but lose the close matches. Is anyone else seriously worried for Michigan.... I do wish the schedules were a little bit more balanced at the top, but we've all benefitted from that in some seasons more than others. There’s definitely a gap between the top 4 and the rest of the field. I wasn’t sure about Minnesota, but there seemed to be a new energy about them at media days. I think for Purdue, it’s going to come down to their setter situation since that seems to be their biggest question mark. If they can find someone who can make Hudson, Chicoine, and Colvin all viable, they should make a good run. Londot will be carrying OSU on her back this year. If Illinois is healthy this year, they’ll be competitive. Michigan’s definitely a concern, but hopefully Virtue can build the program over the next few years and make them competitive again. It’s gonna be a rough year for them though.

if they create east / west divisions all the pac12 schools are just gonna be grouped together again LOL It’s pretty much a merger of the Big Ten plus 6 of the old PAC-8. West (PAC) Division: USC UCLA Oregon Washington Cal Stanford Wisconsin Minnesota Nebraska Iowa East (B1G) Division Ohio State Michigan Michigan State Penn State Illinois Northwestern Maryland Rutgers Indiana Purdue For football and probably basketball, this seems to make more sense than trying to get USC & UCLA shoehorned into the current Big Ten. This probably means a West round robin and an East round robin plus 3 non conference games, and then a conference championship game that pretty much locks in a spot in the CFP. I’m not sure how this works for the other sports. Here's Rainbow's proposed divisions: NorthWashington Oregon Minnesota Wisconsin Michigan Michigan State Penn State Rutgers Ohio State SouthUSC UCLA Nebraska Iowa Illinois Northwestern Indiana Purdue Maryland OR CoastalWashington Oregon USC UCLA Northwestern Rutgers Maryland Michigan Michigan State HeartlandNebraska Iowa Minnesota Wisconsin Illinois Purdue Indiana Ohio State Penn State Note: I'm joking with this latter one, as it would totally hose the Coasties insofar as travel is concerned. Which is why it's funny.

No divisions for VB. Get 21 teams and everyone plays 1x.

I brought this over from today's U19 Game Thread. Maybe we can have some lively but civil debate to keep things interesting around here.

Time will tell. For now, the 2023 season is almost here and it's time for the #1 sidebar topic for The BIG season, especially for the "not a Nebraska fan" crowd:
What is the most likely outcome for the 2023 Nebraska recruiting class: Will Charley Brown prevail, or Lucy?

Which is why it's funny. Ohio State, Penn State, and Indiana are all closer to a coast than Northwestern. I understand your confusion, since few people really know where Northwestern is located. It is in Evanston, Illinois which is basically a northern suburb of Chicago.
