NostraDONus: Big 10 landing a 12th will have domino effect in CFB
15 hours ago ago from Teflon Don Sports
Call them the Big Tentative. At least that is the reputation of the Big 10 conference over the past decade as they’ve been reluctant to change and bypassed by the SEC and Big 12 as the premier football conference after each organized enough teams, that being 12, to conduct an annual conference championship game.

I couldn't wait for Open Thread Thursday to toss this one out there. Heck, we're only a few hours away from Thursday on the Right Coast anyway.

Brian Kelly dipping and ripping through the chance to finish a perfect season at Cincinnati surprises me. The fact that the Big Ten wants to expand does not. The Big Ten has sent its Rose Bowl representative to its BCS slaughter the past three years, much to the disapproval of the rest of the nation. In fact, the Big Ten hasn’t won the Rose Bowl since Wisconsin on January 1, 2000. Ohio State breezed through a Big Ten championship only to be ...
