For years there's been a lot of dissatisfaction with the idea of not having The Game be the last game of the regular season. Recently I've seen a lot of people being perfectly ok with the idea of having a championship game a week after it. That goes for me, too. I wasn't a big fan of the idea about 10 years ago, but now? I'm warming up to the idea. Also, there's been a lot of talk about not just 1 team joining, but up to 3! There is a not so small chance that the Big Ten wants to become the Big Fourteen. Imagine that! I really like the fact that the tone of the majority of Buckeye fans has started to change a little bit.

I never ever want a team to get a Rose Bowl bid from the Big 10 just because they didnt play OSU and shared the Big 10 title with us and because they havent been to the Rose Bowl in 50 years they get to go even if we are clearly the better team. A Championship game would be awesome for sure. I know we wil lose some that if we didnt play we would be in a BCS game or NC game but I am sure we will win some that will put us there when we wouldnt have gone too. Plus We all want more Buckeye football in the 6 weeks in between scUM game and Bowl game lol. to add to why I want a 12th team….

Cinncinasti..... Louisville......Kentucky......Pitt......ND......Syracuse.....West Virginia.....Iowa State....North Dakota St (they are better than Minnesota lol)....I am sure I could come up with more names. Curiously enough when I read Barry Alvarez comments on a 12th team he said something about looking outside of the Big Ten Region..... So it could be interesting if they do. My problem is I hope we dont end up with unbalanced divisions. I dont see a way to not put OSU and PSU and UM all in the same division which doesnt seem fair. But I do love the thought of 12 teams. there are a few other options for a 12th team…. Cinncinasti…..
