RE: Big Ten Football - Getting Rid of Divisions and Permanent Rivals?
3-6-6 format with UCLA/USC
Ohio State: Michigan, Penn State, Illinois
Michigan: Ohio State, Michigan State, Minnesota
Penn State: Ohio State, Maryland, Rutgers
Michigan State: Michigan, Indiana, USC
Maryland: Penn State, Rutgers, Indiana
Rutgers: Penn State, Maryland, Northwestern
Indiana: Purdue, Michigan State, Maryland
Purdue: Indiana, Illinois, UCLA
Illinois: Northwestern, Ohio State, Purdue
Northwestern: Illinois, Rutgers, USC
Wisconsin: Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska
Minnesota: Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan
Iowa: Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin
Nebraska: Iowa, Wisconsin, UCLA
UCLA: USC, Nebraska, Purdue
USC: UCLA, Michigan State, Northwestern
USC vs. Northwestern - Two private schools
USC vs. Michigan State - Trojans vs. Spartans
UCLA vs. Purdue - I know wrong sport but John Wooden connection
UCLA vs. Nebraska - Send Nebraska out west, closer trip for UCLA, Nebraska has fewer connections to the original Big Ten members
Northwestern has two "long distance" rivalry games, USC and Rutgers, but they're loaded so they can afford it.
