Rob E Dangerously Posted February 15, 2003 Report Posted February 15, 2003 Big 12 Each team gets two teams to play every year. Baylor- Iowa State/Kansas Oklahoma- Kansas/Nebraska Oklahoma State- Colorado/Kansas State Texas- Kansas State/Nebraska Texas A&M- Colorado/Missouri Texas Tech- Missouri/Iowa State Colorado- A&M/Oklahoma State Iowa State- Baylor/Texas Tech Kansas- Oklahoma/Baylor Kansas State- Texas/Oklahoma State Missouri- Texas A&M/Texas Tech Nebraska- Oklahoma/Texas 2003 But for the third intradivisional game, the team will face the team that finished in the same spot at them in 2002. Due to a few matchups, 6th in South faces 5th in North (and vice-versa) and third in South faces second in North (and vice-versa) due to the matches above Baylor/Missouri Texas A&M/Kansas Oklahoma State/Nebraska Texas Tech/Kansas State Texas/Iowa State Oklahoma/Colorado Big Ten Rivalry games (Matchups that will take place every year) Ohio State-Michigan Iowa-Penn State Indiana-Purdue Illinois-Northwestern Minnesota-Wisconsin (Michigan State not included) 1st & 2nd place don't play 10th and 11th place (unless one of the teams is their 'must play' match) 3rd & 4th don't play 8th and 9th 5th doesn't play 6th and 7th 6th doesn't play 5th and 7th 7th doesn't play 5th and 6th THE NON-PLAY SCHEDULE (Teams that will not face this team in 2003) Illinois- Minnesota/Purdue Indiana- Iowa/Ohio State Iowa- Northwestern/Indiana Michigan- Michigan State/Wisconsin Michigan State- Michigan/Penn State Minnesota- Illinois/Purdue Northwestern- Iowa/Ohio State Ohio State- Northwestern/Indiana Penn State- Michigan State/Wisconsin Purdue- Illinois/Minnesota Wisconsin- Michigan/Penn State CONFERENCE USA- 1st & 2nd place don't play 10th and 11th place 3rd & 4th don't play 8th and 9th 5th doesn't play 6th and 7th 6th doesn't play 5th and 7th 7th doesn't play 5th and 6th South Florida is seeded in 7th place for the purpose of schedule due to going 4-0 against CUSA teams (Meaning that ECU is 8th, UH is 9th, Memphis is 10th and Army is 11th). They are ranked below 4-4 teams Tulane and UAB due to not having faced either team and above 4-4 team ECU for beating them. NON-Matchups: (teams that these teams will not play in 2003) Army- TCU and Cincinnati Cincinnati- Memphis and Army East Carolina- Louisville and Southern Miss Houston- Louisville and Southern Miss Louisville- ECU and Houston Memphis- TCU and Cincinnati Southern Miss- ECU and Houston TCU- Memphis and Army Tulane- USF and UAB UAB- Tulane and USF USF- Tulane and UAB SEC- Formula- #1/2/3 play #1/2/3 in the other division #4/5/6 play #4/5/6 in the other division East- Florida- Alabama/Auburn/Arkansas Georgia- Alabama/Auburn/Arkansas Kentucky- LSU/Ol Miss/Mississippi State South Carolina- LSU/Ol Miss/Mississippi State Tennessee- Alabama/Auburn/Arkansas Vanderbilt- LSU/Ol Miss/Mississippi State West- Alabama- Florida/Georgia/Tennessee Arkansas- Florida/Georgia/Tennessee Auburn- Florida/Georgia/Tennessee LSU- Kentucky/South Carolina/Vanderbilt Mississippi- Kentucky/South Carolina/Vanderbilt Mississippi St.- Kentucky/South Carolina/Vanderbilt MAC- Formula- #1 doesn't play #6 #2 doesn't play #5 #3 doesn't play #4 #7 plays all six other teams Intradivision- #1 plays #1/2/3 in the other division #2 plays #1/2/3 in the other division #3 plays #1/2/3 in the other division #4 plays #4/5/6 in the other division #5 plays #4/5/6 in the other division #6 plays #4/5/7 in the other division #7 plays #6/7 in the other division Akron- Marshall/Miami/Ohio/Kent State/Buffalo and Ball State/Western Michigan/Central Michigan Ball St- Toledo/NIU/Western Michigan/Central Michigan/Eastern Michigan and Ohio/Akron/Kent State Bowling Green- Toledo/NIU/Western Michigan/Central Michigan/Eastern Michigan and Marshall/UCF/Miami Buffalo- Marshall/UCF/Miami/Ohio/Akron/Kent State and Central Michigan/Eastern Michigan Central Mich- Toledo/Bowling Green/Ball State/Western Michigan/Eastern Michigan and Ohio/Akron/Buffalo Eastern Mich- NIU/Toledo/Bowling Green/Ball State/Western Michigan/Central Michigan and Kent State/Buffalo Kent St- UCF/Miami/Ohio/Akron/Buffalo and Ball State/Western Michigan/Eastern Michigan Marshall- UCF/Miami/Ohio/Akron/Buffalo and NIU/Toledo/Bowling Green Miami- UCF/Marshall/Akron/Kent State/Buffalo and NIU/Toledo/Bowling Green NIU- Toledo/Bowling Green/Ball State/Western Michigan/Eastern Michigan and Marshall/UCF/Miami Ohio- UCF/Marshall/Akron/Kent State/Buffalo and Ball State/Western Michigan/Central Michigan Toledo- NIU/Bowling Green/Ball State/Central Michigan/Eastern Michigan and Marshall/UCF/Miami UCF- Marshall/Miami/Ohio/Kent State/Buffalo and NIU/Toledo/Bowling Green West Michigan- NIU/Bowling Green/Ball State/Central Michigan/Eastern Michigan and Ohio/Akron/Kent State PAC 10- Unoffically divided into North (Washington/Washington State/Oregon/Oregon State), South (UCLA/USC/Arizona/Arizona State) and Neutral (Stanford/Cal). The Best of Neutral is aligned in the division with the worst top team, for 2003, since Washington State won the Pac 10, Cal is in South and Stanford is in North. BYES in 2003 (matchups that will not occur due to alignment and 2002 results) USC/Stanford Arizona State/Oregon UCLA/Washington California/Oregon State Arizona/Washington State WAC- #1 doesn't play #10 (Boise State/Tulsa) #2 doesn't play #9 (Hawaii/UTEP) #3 doesn't play #8 (Fresno State/SMU) #4 doesn't play #7 (SJSU/LA-Tech) #5 doesn't play #6 (Nevada/Rice) ----- Which one do you like the most? Which one sucks the most? Any other comments?
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted February 15, 2003 Report Posted February 15, 2003 August 30: Fresno State September 6: Marshall September 20: At Florida September 27: South Carolina October 4: At Auburn October 11: Georgia October 25: At Alabama November 1: Duke November 8: At Miami November 15: Mississippi State November 22: Vanderbilt November 29: At Kentucky December 6: SEC Championship ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Only schedule that matters.
Guest Blackston Posted February 15, 2003 Report Posted February 15, 2003 nice post, but there is a problem with the Big Ten portion Each team has two rivalry games OSU: PSU/Michigan MSU: PSU/Michigan PSU: OSU/MSU Michigan: MSU/OSU Wisconsin: Minnesota/Iowa Iowa: Wisconsin/Minnesota Minnesota: Wisconsin/Iowa Purdue: Indiana/Northwestern Indiana: Purdue/Illinois Illinois: Indiana/Northwestern Northwestern: Illinois/Purdue

OSU: Northwestern/Indiana Iowa: Northwestern/Indiana Michigan: Wisconsin/Illinois Penn State: Wisconsin/Illinois Purdue: Michigan State/Minnesota Illinois: Penn State/Michigan Minnesota: Michigan State/Purdue Wisconsin: Michigan/Penn State Michigan State: Purdue/Minnesota Northwestern: Iowa/Ohio State Indiana: Iowa/Ohio State The whole thing is screwed up since Michigan State HAS to play Penn State and Michigan
Guest Vern Gagne Posted February 15, 2003 Report Posted February 15, 2003 Rob is this your idea or is actually somthing that's going to happen.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted February 15, 2003 Report Posted February 15, 2003 OK. Why is Iowa-Penn St. a rivalry? Wouldn't Penn St.-Michigan St. make more sense. I've always wondered how big a rivalry Wisconsin and Iowa have. Both schools have one with Minnesota, and it seems like they should, but it doesn't seem like a huge deal when they play.
Rob E Dangerously Posted February 16, 2003 Author Report Posted February 16, 2003 Actually, I was trying to pair somebody up with Iowa there.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted February 16, 2003 Report Posted February 16, 2003 Iowa is kinda screwed. Michigan-St. and Penn St. have developed a rivlary.
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted February 16, 2003 Report Posted February 16, 2003 November 1: Duke The Vols are a bunch of chickens! Padding their schedule with Duke! As everyone knows, DUKE SUCKS (especially in Football)! Of course, they probably couldn't beat any other ACC teams like FSU, NC State or say..MARYLAND, so its understandable.
Guest Edwin MacPhisto Posted February 16, 2003 Report Posted February 16, 2003 FSU? NC State? Maryland? Forget them. It's UVA all the way next year. Though I bet the Vols could probably take North Carolina, too, who are almost as bad as Duke when it comes to pigskin time.
Guest Blackston Posted February 16, 2003 Report Posted February 16, 2003 Penn State and Michigan State have a pretty good rivalry going right now, I think they've even got a trophy for it (Land Grant Trophy perhaps?). I agree that having two protected games in the Big Ten is sort of silly, but some teams have two serious rivals (Michigan vs MSU and OSU). I honestly think that the Big Ten and Notre Dame have to come to a consensus to make things work out correctly. A twelveth team splits the conference into divisions, which means the two best teams every year will play each other. This is what the Big Ten needs, IMO.
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted February 16, 2003 Report Posted February 16, 2003 Okay guys, let's have each of your teams lose eight starters and seven of those backups to injuries for the whole season in THE HARDEST CONFERENCE IN FOOTBALL and see how they perform. I'm quite proud that we were able to even make the Peach Bowl with our depleted roster. Didn't help that Clausen wasn't the same after his injury either. Maryland smashing Tennessee wasn't a surprise. After the smacking-around that Miami gave us, we were just sleepwalking through our games and already thinking about next year. Oh, and I'm sure none of your teams pad their schedules either, right?
