Pro's and con's of Florida State football joining the Big Ten conference
PLAYING BOTTOM DWELLERS
By the same token, the Big Ten conference also has teams that are considered "bottom dwellers". Overall, the conference is very top-heavy with teams such as Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Oregon, USC, UCLA, and Washington.
While I discussed the uninspiring matchup of Florida State playing Syracuse on the road in the ACC, there will also be times when the Seminoles play a school such as Indiana (not to hate on the Hoosiers, it would be an exciting matchup in basketball).
The Big Ten has teams such as Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdue, and Rutgers have would be sleeping opportunities when Florida State plays them. While I know upsets can happen, it is more so referring to the fact that it would not generate eyes to the television.
This would be one of my only concerns with joining the conference. However, every conference in college football has its bottom dwellers.
