Uh. Worst take ever. With larger conferences crowning a champion means a lot more when you don't play half the teams there. This is what everyone in the non sec and big10 conferences play for. But yes. The Notre Dame fan has the best perspective on this

What if you took all the teams in the Big Ten that are east of he Mississippi, only had them play each other. Then took all the teams west of it, had them play only each other. And then in like early January, they got to meet and play each other? I think that would be all roses.
