RE: Divisions
How would no divisions work? 2 best teams conference record wise go to Indianapolis? What would tie-breakers be?

If deregulation actually happens, which I wholeheartedly believe it won't, then yes The Big Ten should go without divisions until there are better rules for divisions. There is a perceived unbalance of the conference from the outside and that could bite the conference in the ass sometime in the future.

I would rather have four divisions and sixteen teams but if that isn't going to happen anytime soon and deregulation actually happens then we should go without divisions and just have the best two teams end up in the championship game.

Tie breaker would be the committee rankings.

Without divisions would the power 5 conferences get smaller?

Depends on if teams are still able to face their geographic rivals or not I'd assume.

Expand to 16, go to pods, play each other more often.

RE: Divisions
I like the 4-division model because you end up playing everyone in the conference at least every other year and maintain some structure and organization that makes sense to casual fans.

But with deregulation, couldn't you play each other even more often with just 14 teams? How do you schedule in that scenario? Does everyone have 2 or 3 schools that they play annually and then just rotate through the rest of the conference? From a scheduling perspective, a 2-team expansion that gets you to four 4-team divisions seems like a perfect solution. That wouldn't hurt for filling out TV inventory either...

With 14 and a non-division format, you'd get 3 annual schools out of the other 13. Then 6 games to play against the other 10. So in a 4 year span you play everyone else home and away at least once. Some every year, some more than 1 home and away, etc. I didn't run the math to see if that works out optimally, but the back of the envelope makes it work. With 16, you'd get 2 annual opponents and then 7 to play the remaining 13. Or something along those lines.
