There are 14 teams in both the Big Ten and the Southeastern Conference. An annual SEC–Big Ten football showdown (think the ACC/Big Ten basketball agreement) would be an intriguing concept, and Arkansas coach Bert Bielema is officially on board:
Bret Bielema proposes a Big Ten-SEC challenge like ACC-Big Ten challenge in hoops. "You've got to think outside the box." Oh, to dream ...

Granted, Bert probably won't survive at Arkansas long enough to coach in such a series, but it's a great idea nonetheless.
