Message: [QUOTE="kingottoiii, post: 56734"] The B1G and ND are in no hurry. I think the B1G really wants Texas. However I can't see Texas going unless the B1G can get ND and OU. Texas needs OU to go IMO. With OU in the B1G, Texas will have 4 games in the Midwest, 6 games at home, 1 neutral vs OU, and one OOC BCS either home or away. Without OU in the B1G, Texas will have 4-5 games in the Midwest, 6-7 games at home, and 1 neutral vs OU. Not having OU in the B1G means less schedule flexibility (no OOC BCS) and one more road trip to the Midwest. Right now OU is not academically up to par for the B1G. But if they make a strong push, who is to say they won't be in 10 years? Since no one is in a hurry, the B1G and ND can wait. With Texas, OU, and ND the B1G will have 15 teams, needing one more. That one more will be between KU (who most B1G schools would want) and RU (who PSU and ND likely want). That will determine whether the ACC takes UConn and WV, or UConn and RU to get to 16. [/QUOTE]
