So I guess there’s a new Big Ten divisional storyline emerging after some consternation at Big Ten Media Days?
The conference’s two biggest talkers, P.J. Fleck and James Franklin, were the only two I noticed (feel free to add others in the comments) who felt like things are a changing in the conference landscape. It all seems kind of dumb from my view because what exists currently has a excellent level of parity between divisions. Only one combination has been repeated in the eight years of the game (Ohio State Buckeyes - Wisconsin Badgers in 2014 and 2017)
It’s particularly interesting to see Franklin kvetch, as his Nittany Lions might have had to play a Buckeyes team again in 2016, when they came from behind to beat Wisconsin and advance to the Rose Bowl, where PSU blew a bigger lead to USC.
