Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4684953, member: 5685"] Penn State has played Ohio State every year starting in 1993. They have played Michigan State all but 2011-13 since 1993. Maryland is their 4th most played opponent all time, and most played team currently in the B16. Two of those games are no longer yearly for Penn State. If everyone else has protected rivalries, you are left playing the other teams that do not have protected rivalries. So you end up with de facto protected rivalries. The B16 contract runs for 6 years. They won't be adding any teams until then. So why not make it easy on yourself and go 3 + 6/6 for the next 6 years and then revisit? [/QUOTE]
