Realignment in BIG 10 Divisions

With the addition of Rutgers and Maryland in 2014 the BIG 10 will have new conference divisions  They will have East and West divisions with the West made up of  Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue and Wisconsin. The East includes Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers. Both of the new teams are together, and I think the East is way stronger the the West. The only football top 25 finishers in the West last year were Wisconsin and Nebraska, and the East had Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State went undefeated. Many people think that just adding 1 team to each division was smarter but they wanted to have it location based. They also will be adding a game to the conference schedule in 2016.
