Florida won't let FSU or Miami join the SEC, so it makes sense for the B1G to target them and get a foothold in the state.

The B1G is in the drivers set for establishing a new era of CFB, so it's chinteresting to see they're only talking about school revenue instead of attempted to leapfrog the SEC in terms of political power

Fucking Florida. I hate those guys. Loved Superior. Guy was born to be a Hurricane. But otherwise hate the Gates.

If I were doing it, I'd drop Penn State down into Pod #4 in exchange for Rutgers. Geographically they're both close enough, and that would alleviate some pressure from Pod 3 and add some beef to Pod 4. Plus, Miami and Penn State have a long-standing rivalry and dislike for one another. It was kind of a prelude to Catholics vs. Convicts, but for State College instead of the other pedos. "The Christians are going to do something!!" for Bob

And while I was at it, I'd kick Rutgers and Indiana (or Illinois ... take your pick IDGAF) out of the conference and bring in Clemson and North Carolina. If one of those won't or can't come, then you go to Boston College, Syracuse, or NC State. I'd take BC for the academis bros and a great gameday experience in the fall in Chestnut Hill, as fine a location and you'll find for a fall Saturday.

Oh, and Notre Dame can't be in the same pod with Miami. They are anathema to one another and we? like it that way. If they played each other every year it would take a little shine off of the rivalry IMO. Periodic match-ups works better.

I agree that time zone dominance should be the B1G goal. They would be crazy to open the door for the big 12 or sec to take Oregon, Washington, and stanford. UCLA and usc are not going to want to play every home game at 8pm. And even in games they do. Say Oregon and Washington go to the sec or big 12, USC/Iowa is going to pull the same numbers as Oregon/Ole Miss Oregon/okie st, or UW/Tenn or UW/Baylor. The B1G needs to put the late night window on lockdown. That time zone might not get a lot of viewers, but that’s made up for the lack of competition. I’d bet the Pac 12 after dark games on a game for game basis pull higher numbers than 80-90% of noon pacific time games.

arguments can be made without question. there are the natural kind of rivalries like Washington/Oregon, Mich/OSU, Miam/FSU, Bamers/Auburn. Those can be played every year because the rivalry is permanent. Then there are the rivalries that stem from an accident of history ... a game or series of games and context that create the hate. Miami/ND has that. I fear if they played every year it would in fact water it down. They'd get used to each other somehow. As it stands, when they play it's still kind of a big deal.

Tend to agree. It would make for great TV if they had to make an elimination game to get to play one another. That way it only happens when each is relevant and all kinds of shit talk when one can't make that game.

Miami Notre Dame only was born because there was no BCS or playoffs

We've improved the game beyond that now

Miami/Notre Dame was born because Miami had the temerity to let their equipment manager division score on poor Gerry Foust and lay a 58-7 lumber stick up the butter beans of the other pedos. ND whined like a little bitch about that on a national scale, actual crocodile tears, and the media and Brent Turdburger jumped on with both feet. Like someone said in The U, the history books are filled with ND scoring 70 on the Sisters of the Poor opponents. The rule is you can't do it to Our Lady. Apparently. Well pffffuck that. That's what made me a Miami fan. Right there and then. It's not our? job to stop our? 3rd string offense, or our? second or first for that matter. It's yours. Hire a better coach and get better players. We're not all Chip Kelley magnanimous.

That game birthed the rivalry and the hate. Other than a single blip in 1960 (Miami has a bunch of weird/unlikely victories over really big name programs back when they really sucked), ND owned Miami with 11 straight wins from 1967 to 1980. They played a lot and got a lot of Miami ass in the process. But the worm turned on them in a huge way and they didn't like it. At. all. That was also the birth of my disdain for the fighting Irish. I can't remember a bigger bunch of whinny little girls with the notable exception of Babs and her embarrassing whining about the Orange Bowl experience.

I knew Miami had arrived as a national power when, during my summer term with one of the big downtown Seattle law firms, I saw a framed picture of the "31 to 30" scoreboard taken by a senior partner at said law firm from the '88 game, which he had attended. When the highly successful faithful of an old and proud program are framing pictures of a one point victory over you that the wefs gift-wrapped for them, you know you now matter. Miami was better than Notre Dame in '88 when they won their last national title, and they know it and they know we? know it and that stokes the hate fire even more.

Also Ara Parsegian was in the booth with Brett. The story is as well known as any Husky lore

I was a Canes fan since I stumbled across the Howard Schnellenberger show on fledgling ESPN

I forgot. That's the source of the crocodile tears. Or whatever.

The hatred was great. The fact that it was all or nothing made it greater

If they play today the loser could still make the playoffs

And look ... here I am more than 30 years later bitching about the HORRIFIC Cleveland Gary non-fumble fumble call and arguing (rightly) that Miami was better than Irish in the year of its sole national title since the Cascades were pushed up by the plate. BCS and playoffs takes that away.

1984 Washington/BYU
1988 Miami/Notre Dame
1991 Washington/Miami
1992 Colorado/Georgia Tech

A shitty offense, a "fumble", and a couple split titles. Those equal out to a lifetime of debate that will never end. Who won the title again last year?
