    Michigan-OSU
    Minnesota-Wisconsin
    Northwestern-Illinois
    MSU-Purdue

      Wouldn't Indiana-Purdue have been a protected rivalry? I don't remember MSU-Iowa but my memory of that period is hazy at best.

            So I'm guessing the legends were the rest?

            Great sleuth work.

              Yeah, 9 wins (3 losses) in the B1G or SEC might get you invited to the CFP... Nine-win teams in the B1G/SEC are likely to be favored over 10-win teams in the ACC, Pac 12, Big XII thanks to the tougher strength of schedule.

                The no-divisions thing is going to make for an interesting season. You're going to have 16 teams vying for 2 CCG spots. What happens if there is a 3 way tie?

                Anyway, the east/west thing just never panned out. West never really got competitive.

                  They’ll have tiebreakers.

                  You’ll see things like, head-to-head, best overall record, highest CFP rank, etc.

                        Head to head will be first tie-breaker, obviously. There will likely be scenarios where the teams didn’t play one another so the CFP poll will factor in at some point.

                          We're going back to "the most representative team"

                            Yeah. The one where MSU votes with OSU because "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" ... and all that.

                              Politics, wars and CFB make for strange bedfellows...just like DSL and Talent for example...

                                It doesn’t really matter. With 12 teams in the CFP, everyone with a pulse gets in.
