Well, the Big Ten Divisional alignment was announced. Looks like Jim Delaney read the commissioner for a day post (below) that I sent him after all! Maybe it was the rather blunt email that it went with it. I don't want to crow, but what they announced sounds amazingly like what I wrote below.

1. OSU- Mich in separate divisions. Check
2. OSU-Mich last game of season. Check
3. All games count towards division titles. Check
4. Teams in the divisions. Check (Well technically they gave us Wisconsin instead of Iowa and Minnesota instead of Indiana...but those are about a wash, so I'm still taking the check!)

About the only thing they did differently was put some of the rivalry games through the season, rather than all on the last day. We'll take that.

All in all it could have been a lot worse. As I said, you read it here first !
