They really live in another world up there.

Nebraska, Rutgers and Maryland are in the Midwest?

 

[TUSKtimes]

To be fair, it's kinda embarrassing to have Missouri in the west. No one should have to deal with 3 SEC teams named Tigers in one division, so sending the plain's kitties to the East is mandatory. And with my tattered Road Atlas at my trusty side, it occurs to me that it's just the right thing to do.

why does ANY of this matter?

More people are OCD than you realize? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

With the B1G, since their original splits into divisions, it's drawn my interest. Not geographically, but the idiocy they used in dividing the teams.

Missouri in the east, bruh.

 

[TUSKtimes]

Missouri in the east, bruh.

Content didn't clear it up for you?

Umm, nope

Umm, nope

Let me help you bruh.

See, the "Plain's kitties" would be the barners and by sending them East that would keep the logjam in the West from occurring with "3 SEC teams named Tigers in one division."

Still not clear.

What IS clear is that you started off by saying Missouri is in the west, and then mentioned 3 tiger teams in the west. Neither of which is true. Missouri is in the east, leaving 2 tiger teams in the west.

That's how your OP reads to me and, I'm sure, a lot of other people here.

Please tell me you didn't graduate from Alabama?

Lulz... I'll give him breadth, as the Big 10 is spread from the east coast to the edge of the Rockies.

But, Pac 12 has 3 schools host states with no ocean front property. I'll give them AZ as a link to to SoCal, but nothing is culturally or geographically tied to Utah/Colorado and the left coast schools or fan bases.

Mizzou, arky and Texas AM get out of the typical Southern aspect. I'd even throw UK into that. They are all some sort of midwestern, to western, to hillbilly mix.

As stated, WVU in the big 12 shoots a hole in his statement.

Then the small conferences are all over the place, for example: CUSA, mountain west (see pac 12 distro) and wac (no football anymore to my knowledge).

Anyways, you'd think with all that diversity and geographical area, the B1G could produce more than tOSU and rotating other team as a decent contender each yr.
