Hi Gopher fans. Badger fan here. Now that the expansion talk has died down, the focus seems to be on whether the Big Ten will move to a divisional alignment and if so, how the divisions will look. I just read Adam Rittenberg's piece (which I see you already have a thread on) and he has some good ideas and makes some good points. But his article, much like every other article I have read on the topic, makes assumptions about what the fans of each team prefer. In an effort to find out if these assumptions are true I am undertaking a study of each fan base to find out which rivalries they want to protect and which games don't matter as much.

I hope to compile the results and develop an alignment which can satisfy each of the fan bases in the Big Ten.

If you would be so polite, please rank the teams from 1-11 (including Nebraska) with 1 being the team/game that is most important to you as a Gopher fan and 11 being the team/game that matters the least. I've even provided a handy template for you to use.

Football only right? For basketball Iowa and Nebraska would move down and Michigan State would move up.

Also as some have said...this is more based on football rivalries
 

1) Wisconsin
2) Iowa
3) Michigan

Anything after that doesn't matter

4) Nebraska--Lots of history in this one
5)Penn State--not much of a Trophy, but a trophy nonetheless
6) Northwestern--always a fun game
7) Michigan State (cause we almost always beat them)
8) Purdue
9) Ohio State
10) Indiana
11) Illinois--the least interesting team in the Big Ten hands down on every level
