^ That's great. Obviously Texas is about the biggest cash cow in the nation, but as someone once said ... they've ruined every conference they've joined, lol.

We've hooted at Pac-12 incompetent leadership over the last 20-years, I'd get so mad at USC and UCLA almost constantly beating B1G teams in the Rose Bowl, etc., but it is kind of a sad moment. A heritage conference is no more.

im confused as to how the big 18 could possible use a 9 game season to determine a
conference champion? it seems we could very well have three undefeated teams and/or
3 one loss teams. do we still have a conference championship game? how are those
teams selected? this is the last year of two divisions?, what's next?

There are no divisions anymore. Ties will be separated by CFP rankings.

The Big Ten Championship game will now always be between two teams already guaranteed a spot in the CFP, and have seeding implications at the very most.

It will remain a showpiece championship event in the same way the Chicago Tribune remains a newspaper: for as long as the consumer can be fooled into still paying.
