The Big Ten can be wildly flexible with networks selecting start times on little notice to fans, but scheduling years out is a must

Conference schedules should weigh performance and be released in the winter before each season. This would help balance each season.

It's pretty astounding that Penn State is ahead of Michigan in the polls - By y2wolv September 22, 2026 at 05:26:24 PM
- Do you really find that "astounding"? Happens quite a bit, yes? Last year, pollsters didn't correct the Miami-ND stuff until the very last pre=playoff one.* - By kccambo September 22, 2026 at 07:09:22 PM
- I do think there's a chance that PSU is pretty good. Franklin was a good recruiter, and that's their talent base. Campbell also imported a ton of dudes.* - By Bluebuck September 22, 2026 at 06:05:46 PM
- This was discussed pre-season. Their schedule is so weak they’re going to go 10-2 with losses to Michigan and USC and get obliterated in the first round of the playoff. The unbalanced schedules are ridiculous* - By yarn September 22, 2026 at 05:36:20 PM

- some (many?) poll participants are treating the WMU game as a loss* - By ajs September 22, 2026 at 05:29:32 PM
  - Independent of Michigan's game with WMU, Penn State should not be rising. - By GritsGoBlue September 22, 2026 at 05:42:59 PM
    - do we really know how Cignetti wants to schedule? It's only his 3rd season and I assume most of IU's games were scheduled before he was hired - By DoctorD September 22, 2026 at 06:48:32 PM
      - I wonder how he scheduled at Google University* - By ajs September 22, 2026 at 09:29:19 PM
    - The polls are always going to be flawed, but the selection committee has the power to ignore them - By syrfan September 22, 2026 at 06:34:20 PM
