How a 20 school Big Ten would schedule
Assuming the Big Ten is able to add Notre Dame together with Stanford, Washington and Oregon (or Cal) it could create a 4-5-5-5 scheduling model similar to the recently announced 3-5-5 model that will be used by the ACC.
Each school would have 4 permanent opponents. Every school would play each of the remaining 15 schools home and home over a 6 year cycle.
The permanent opponents for the west coast schools and Notre Dame would be as follows:
Notre Dame: USC, Stanford, Purdue, MSU
USC: ND, UCLA, UW, Oregon
UCLA: USC, Stanford, UW, Oregon
Stanford: ND, UCLA, UW, Oregon
Oregon: USC, UCLA, UW, Stanford
UW: USC, UCLA, Oregon, Stanford
If the B1G takes a fifth west coast school (Cal and Oregon), then the west coast schools simply play a full round robin.
This scheduling format would work pretty well in a single division format with a 9 game conference schedule.
