B1G will probably get 4 in the playoff. After that, only Illinois (8-3) and Iowa (7-4) have clinched winning records. And if:

Wisconsin beats Minnesota
Iowa beats Nebraska
OhioSt beats Michigan
Notre Dame beats USC
Michigan St beats Rutgers
Oregon beats Washington


Then the next 8 teams in the B1G will finish 6-6.

Crazy that they have never played a home home series with a west coast team.

---

I looked it up and it seems they have NEVER played these teams??!!!

Cal, USC, UCLA, Stanford, Oregon, Washington, Washington State, BYU, Utah

and only played Oregon State (2x)

mcubed.net : NCAA Football : Series Records : Kentucky vs. FBS teams (all games)

And I don't think they will anytime soon. I've seen lots of talk already about how there is no need to play a tough non conference schedule anymore with the expanded playoff. (At least for SEC/Big 10 teams)

---

They play their rival, Louisville, and then 3 MAC teams probably.

---

Yup. And not just for them. For all the big 10 and sec teams. They no longer have an incentive to have a tougher schedule.

---

Correct, play 3 teams (for Big12) that give you best chance to be 3-0. With 9 conference games the conference already cannibalizes potential wins. Think of it this way. With a four game OOC schedule, the SEC has an extra 16 potential wins that don't hurt their conference record. That's a lot of potential wins that helps inflate SEC records. That's one game difference requires the Big12 to have 8 extra losses because the big12 teams are playing each other instead of OOC opponent.

---

And with the large conferences you can have teams that play only the bottom of the conference and get good records (Texas, Indiana and probably two or 3 others) and get dominated in their only true test but they are big 10 or sec so they get elevated despite a weak schedule.

Meanwhile, in the Big12, if:

BU beats KU
TCU wins @Cincy
WV upsets @Tech

Then only 9 of the 16 Big12 teams will be bowl eligible, but at least all of them will have a winning record.
