Yes, Iowa will compete for a CFP spot because of how much they return from a generational defense, the fact that their offense should improve, and their schedule is easy. As of now, I do have the Hawkeyes in the CFP, along with four other Big Ten teams (the four favorites to win the conference).
The only way a 20-team conference works is with 4 divisions of 5 teams each. Then you can schedule by playing one other division each year as well as your own every year - that solves the tiebreaker dilemma as well as not going too long without playing other major school. And you won’t lose the non-conference games. Then the big 10 title game is determined by the top 2 division winners, and the other 2 division winners still get automatic bids to the playoff as lower seeds. That’s probably the easiest way to do it but it would probably never happen
B10 is a business, I wouldn't be surprised if they kept acquiring schools and replaced the NCAA themselves. The "10" in B10 would be the ten conferences they acquired. Yes, SEC would join if B10 was in charge of the rest of college football but they would remain the SEC under the B10 division
If the number is 20 the answer should be 4 five team pods the rotate amongst themselves every three years… Also, B1G should look to poach Texas A&M who will be looking to leave SEC once they’re in Longhorns shadow again…
8:40 - IF OLINE - NewMexSt - that’s Moore fireable offense. Better not be worse than 3 maybe 4 in great year for other B1G lines. 2’s behind THOSE 1’s better be 1.5’s and improving. QB OLINE Campbell Moore really need to demonstrate their value in delivering at least “very good” from both.
2 10 team divisions doesn't work for me, feels like 2 separate conferences not 2 divisions... 4 divisions of 5 or 6 teams would work, play your division plus rotate 1 other division each year. Play every team in the conference in a 3 year period.
I don't like how these conferences are being merged like this. The way they are paying these players to play for these schools is disgusting. It's worse than the free agent market in the NFL. It has destroyed college football. Only the teams with the biggest fan bases with the most money are the ones that's gonna be in the playoffs every year and win their conferences. Mid-size to smaller schools will never win conference titles, let alone go to the playoffs.
i don't like the idea of two 10 team divisions. i'm working my way through seeing the Buckeyes play in every big 10 stadium, and that won't happen without cross-over games.
Lol, Phil Steele. Not only is there a 70% chance but statistically, there is a 100% chance that Michigan has the same or worse record than last year given that they went 15-0.
i just looked at Northwestern's schedule. they could easily win 6 or more games this year. i see two losses and possible two more losses. {iowa and wisconsin} the other eight games Northwestern can win. i don't know the roster of Northwestern but Duke might be the next hardest game. nobody know how Illinois, Washington, Indiana, Maryland and Purdue is going to be. Northwestern with luck could go 6-0 to start, depends on Duke game. but with this schedule, its hard for me to see Northwestern not with 6 wins.
@@jayramos8670 LOL! Steve's 40 time and other combine stats are neither nor there. All the lad has to do is keep on pumpin' out the vids to make us happy. GO BLUE!
LMAO........NO. Iowa no longer has the protection of the BIG west. Looking forward to Ferentz leaving to spend more time w his family soon. Over Rated.
Did you look at their schedule? They only need to improve marginally (like to the 80s or 90s instead of 130s) on offense to have a chance at 10-2 or 11-1.
Your new East and West divisions are absolutely terrible. The West once again would be wayyyyy easier than the East. I hope they wouldn’t do THOSE East and West divisions like yours, IF they add FSU and Miami.
@@robertjulieannanalett1691they traded all of their fake integrity, for a chip. A championship that nobody is even talking about. The recruiting is still crap. Jim is gone, and the team will soon be worse than before he came. Matt Weiss, Chris Partridge, Alex Yood and Connor Stallions, all in one year. Michigan men!

What a joke
No way-5 teams come on man
Cade will be healthy and he will give Iowa one thing they haven't had . . . an offense.
Maybe-still need WR's and RB's
Cade is a game manager. Average QB.

4 divisions of 5 with a 4 team playoff would be much better than 2 10 team divisions.
Great show!

Awesome like usual! Go Blue!
B1G could poach TA&M. Would be great to see the SEC reaction to this. TA&M, FSU, MIA, and finally... ND.
'24 Washington: returning 3 out of first-22 from '23 roster (1 of the 3 sat out injured in '23).
What about all of their bench guys, who have been in the system. Aren't they almost like starters? 😮
It will get newer and braver
How Phil has Ohio State. Having a number 1 defensive line over Michigan is the definition of bias

I highly doubt UM's offensive line is going to take much of a step back if at all. Hopefully 1-2 more RBs step up in the offense.
They will be very young this year
Your proposed divisions based on FSU and Miami... the East is still is still way too stacked over the West
Am buying: '24 improved iu & gbr. Felt that way b4 philSteele data dropped.
i don't like the idea of two 10 team divisions. i'm working my way through seeing the Buckeyes play in every big 10 stadium, and that won't happen without cross-over games.
Big 12 don't all touch Cincinnati, West Virginia touch but don't touch anyone else, also Central Florida touches no one. Great show tho.
Good show 😂
Sorry, '24 Northwestern? On a 'prove-it'-basis for me. New season, new schedule, new context.

'24 USC STs will be better. hcRiley? Still no designated STs coach 🙄.
I haven’t decided if I like “Cryin’ Cade” or “ Bitch-made Cade” better
Just had an argument with a Michigan fan. He said y'all all wanted him to succeed.

@bwl57 they have an easy schedule for michigan or osu. Iowa offense is so trash they could still lose 3 or 4 games with that schedule.
@@johnnyoldenjr. reread my comment and use your head this time

Hey Steve, will you be having a special episode of Michigan Podcast after Michigan get stripped of their Title?
Will you cry when that doesn't happen?
I think they will after your 2006 Natty gets taken away. Remember when you guys got put on sanctions for cheating not too long ago?
It's okay that's all they have they can't do it on the field let them have a little joy.
