11 team round robin, 1 P5 non-conference game
Fixed that for you.

Just have 3, 4 team pods.

There is no god damned way they're putting BYU in a pod or division with the easternmost teams available.  This is essentially why pods are a non-starter: you'd have to anchor each with a remote team, and you end up sacrificing a regional rivalry in the process.

What I expect they'll wind up doing is crafting a list for each team of perhaps 5 opponents that they will play every year, and rotating the other four games among the remaining six opponents.  This gives the ability to optimize for travel distance and preserve rivalries.

JFC man it was an example, and I don't think pods are non starters but the way.

Pods would set us up pretty nicely, since we would end up with KU and ISU. Thinking long term, those are more likely to be free wins in any given season than any other combination of teams would be.

Yeah, you don't know that.  For example, let's assume pods of four, and let's build a pod that has the eastern teams [WVU, UC, UCF].  Who's their fourth?  Quite possibly ISU.  Who's in BYU's pod?  Probably not the Texas schools.  Suddenly our pod is BYU, KU, OSU - potentially the toughest on an annual basis (for KU, anyway).

In my scenario, each team has a list of five annual "division" opponents, but the teams on that list don't all share the same list.  For example, our list might have ISU and OSU, but those two might only play each other 2 out of 3 years.  It allows for our traditional rivalries without consigning the geographically remote teams to a pod of leftovers.

do our brothers in lawrence make a bowl game this year?  i'm not so sure  :ohno:

Tough noncon, and early conference schedule, but they'll finish 7-5, 8-4

Did you guys see Iowa State's schedule after their bye? Sheesh.
@ Baylor
vs. KU
@BYU
vs. UT
@K-State
My god. That has to be the toughest 5 game stretch in the conference. They're not going to a bowl, again.

KU returns alot. I think your guesses are correct.
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.
