There are probably tons of people trying to decode the helmets' arrangement right about now.
Jon:
As far as impact goes, it will kind of suck if sEcSPN has this right and we have been discussing it all day here before your Big announcement.
What would have been really smart is for the conference to have leaked some false information to figure out who has the loose lips and to mess up the competition.
However, it seems that the MSU guy might be a good place to start.

Kind of what I thought, then you could match up the helmets with the protected rival as well by their placement:
Row 1 inside OSU-Mich
Row 1 outside Neb-PSU
Row 2 inside Iowa-Wisc
Row 2 outside Ill-Ind
Row 3 inside Purdue-NW
Row 3 outside Minn-MSU

Actually, the picture makes perfect sense.
Over the last few weeks they have been saying that the competitive breakdown goes like this
Tier one: OSU, UM, Nebby, PSU (Front Row)
Tier two: Wisky, Iowa (Second Row Center)
Tier Three: NU, Purdue (Third Row Center)
Tier Four: Illinois, MSU, Minny, Indiana (Outside after first row)
That is how the helmets are lined up. Doesn't matter what side they are on.

I'll bet $1,000 the helmets mean absolutely nothing.

You could be right, but look at the name of the file for the picture, it is named "Big Ten Divisions" which could mean nothing or it could mean these are the divisions.

I'd love to break all this stuff down with you guys right now, and once the show is over tonight I am going straight to the hotel and am gonna write for three or four hours. I can't wait.
But for now, I gotta remain mum..in fact, Jim may be monitoring this post as we speak
Jim, get Maryland into the conference, thanks in advance.

This is what I initially thought too, however if the ESPN report is true, jNW, Minny, and MSU are in the same division thus will not/cannot be protected rivals.

This is actually a great marketing move by the Big 10. On the eve of the college football season when all are pumped up & in a frenzy, announce the new Big 10 alignment. This is what a lot of people & media are going to focus on a lot the rest of this week & into next. A lot of attention is good for the Big 10 & this is a strategic move & good one.

Absolutely. Also, when you consider that OSU is one of the biggest names playing on Day One, it also adds to the excitement.
