Easy now. It always help for the opposing team to be playing in their backyards. When was the last bowl game in Big 10 Country? Oh yeah, NEVER! Oh how a playoff system would be great to even things out...
Doesn’t the Motor City bowl get played in Detroit :D
Actually, we agree 1,000% A playoff is desperately needed. My vitriol against the Big 10 in that instance is that they are the conference that leads the charge against having one. In fairness, the other conferences don’t seem to want one either, but the Big 10 (led by Ohio State President Gordon Gee) really, really, really wants to keep the status quo.
