The Horseshoe...every year...with Ohio State as regular season champion.
My guess would be Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, however.

Cant argue too much with Indy, its somewhat central to the confrence and they do a great job of hosting big events. AND its only a few hours drive from columbus

I'd like to see all the pro stadiums in the area get it in a rotation. Indy, Detroit, Chicago, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland, maybe even Philly and St. Louis.
But I'm sure Indy will get it for good and that's a fine choice as well.

My problem with Indy is that the seating capacity is only 63,000. They say they plan to expand to 70,000 when they host the Super Bowl, but even that number is pretty small. One of the great things about Big Ten football is the HUGE attendance numbers at the games.
I would prefer to see it at alternating COLLEGE sites. Pro stadiums don't have the same character of the Big Ten stadiums. If you go to divisions, alternate sides each year and let schools bid on it. 2011 let the schools in the East division battle it out for highest bidder, 2012 let the west, and so on. Certain requirements could be set, such as a minimum # of seats, etc... So, if for example Northwestern wanted to host it at Ryan Field, they would have to make a significant upgrade to their facilities first. Similar procedures take place in Big Ten baseball already with their championship game.
