Conference Title

Hi bloggers! Tonight I would like to talk about the championship game for the Big Ten Conference.  It is absolutely ridiculous that the best teams are not necessarily the two teams that go to the championship game. With Ohio State and Penn State ineligible to win the Leaders Division due to violations, Wisconsin is now the favorite by 3 games!  That means they could go 8-4 and still go to the championship game. That is absolutely ridiculous.  The Legends Division has Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, and Nebraska all going for the division title.  There could be two teams that finish 10-2 while Wisconsin finishes 8-4 and one of the Legends teams would be denied a shot at the Rose Bowl.  I propose a win/loss rule that is imposed within the Big Ten stating: Any team that has 3 conference games shall lose their automatic qualifier to the championship game.  Instead, a comity will decide the final team to enter into the championship game.  This is a compromise on both sides.  It keeps the automatic qualifier with a catch that you have to win 6 conference games.  The championship game is meant for the top two teams, not the top teams in a division.
