In this Nov. 21, 2009, file photo, Ohio State running back Dan Herron (1) scores a touchdown on a 12-yard reception as the Michigan defense chases during the third quarter of an NCAA college football game in Ann Arbor, Mich. So you're the Big Ten or Pac-10 and you're trying to decide how to split your new, 12-team league into two divisions while keeping traditional rivalries intact and avoiding competitive imbalance and geographic oddities. The SEC, ACC and Big 12 have been through this before -- and their experiences may offer a few lessons.
