Michigan and Ohio State in different Divisions in the New Big 12?

This has been in the news for weeks. Mich OSU will play every year in a protected cross over game, as well as Minn and Wis. The draw is that rivals like Mich and OSU could meet twice a year, once in regular season and once in the Championship game.

As a Nebraska fan I am pumped to be part of the Big 10+2, the Big 12 sucked! Nebraska vrs Iowa should become a quick rivalry. And sounds like Nebraska's cross over game will be Penn State.

I like the idea of this, but in reality I think it sucks. I've read that the rivalry games will be the last game of the year like always. I think it would suck if the Big Ten championship game would be a rematch from the week before, like Michigan vs OSU or other rivalries. I have always hated that possibility... If one team wins the regular season game, then the other team wins the following week, they are the champs. Doesn't make sense to me as each team would be 1-1 against each other in consecutive weeks basically.
