Exactly. I just recently learned that Miami (OH) and Cincinnati no longer will play their annual game. It’s actually really sad because while neither of them are great programs, it’s one of the top 5 most played rivalries in CFB. Everything good about college football is falling apart, like regional rivalries that bring excitement to small schools.
There is one HUGE change that you MUST make. Notre Dame and Michigan are NOT rivals. Fielding Yost made sure of that FOREVER. There is a one word answer to the question: Why is Notre Dame "Independent" in football? I'll give you a hint. The answer is the name of a state beginning with the letter "M". Fielding Yost played Notre Dame 8 times. He won the first 7 games. He lost the 8th. He reacted to that loss by cancelling all games with Notre Dame, refusing to schedule Notre Dame, blackballing all of Notre Dame's applications to join the B1G, blackmailing other B1G schools into refusing to schedule Notre Dame in football, despite the TRUE rivalries that Notre Dame had with those schools, and spreading bigoted LIES about Catholics and Notre Dame. The year AFTER the Michigan coach reacted to his 11-3 loss to Notre Dame in Ann Arbor, this was Notre Dame's schedule: Olivet, Buchtel, Michigan Agricultural, Rose Polytechnic, Ohio Northern, and Marquette. How does Notre Dame become a National Champion when the best nearby colleges refuse to schedule them due to the crazy Michigan coach's bigotry? Ever wonder why before passenger air travel that Notre Dame would schedule a rivalry with the University of Southern California, that required the team to take a 3-day train trip out to Los Angeles, and a 3-day train trip back to South Bend, every other year? The B1G refused to allow Notre Dame to become a member in football, and "Michigan" led every other B1G school in a boycott preventing Notre Dame from scheduling even nearby schools like Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern, and Illinois, as well as more distant schools like Ohio State, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota. Michigan is NOT a "rival" of Notre Dame. Michigan is an ENEMY of Notre Dame. There is a HUGE difference between the two, and no one should ever forget it.
As a Catholic from Texas I had long taken a dim view of ND's independence thinking they were being selfish. Once I learned of the extreme anti-Catholic bias of members of the Big 10 my view did a 180.
Personally I would replace the Big East & just make the American the 6th power conference as the Big East is better as a nonfootball conference imo. Have Houston, Tulane, Memphis, Cincinnati, Louisville, SMU, & USF as the south (I know Cincy isn't in the south but this keeps it's rivalry with Louisville in same division.) North is BC, Syracuse, Pitt, WV, Rutgers, UCONN, & Temple. This gives it a great mix of basketball & football schools in the conference while also having schools in big markets (Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Memphis, Tampa Bay, Philly, Pitt, Boston, & NYC with Rutgers)
I came here to say that, add the best 4 football schools left to that conference, bang you've got a nice round number 6 auto bids, while you're at it go to a 16 team playoff structure with the best two of a now G4 and 8 next highest ranked. Alternatively... The 12 division winners, 2 G4, two next highest ranked
Tulane and GT were the other 2 original members -- along with Sawanee (or College of the South as it is now known -- a division III school now, I believe .. ) I looked up the original SEC members on the internet -- if I am wrong, blame Google LOL --- Tulane to SEC too ?
@@storm7586you are absolutely right, except it's Sewanee: The University of the South. I went there. They were an original SEC team, and were really good lol. They are now a D3 team and pretty bad lol, but they do let their SEC history be known and it's displayed on campus.
I understand your viewpoint about having Notre Dame in the Big Ten. However, someone in the comments section mentioned that Notre Dame's attempts to join the Big Ten were constantly sabotaged by Michigan because Michigan's old coach had a tantrum over one loss to Notre Dame. Moreover, Notre Dame's schedule always has one game against Stanford, one game against USC, games against 5 ACC teams, games against other Big Ten opponents, and sometimes games against the service academies. I'm not sure who else I would've added to the Big Ten. If I had to choose a team from the Big East, it wouldn't be Louisville or West Virginia. Those two schools are not members of the Association of American Universities, which the Big Ten heavily emphasizes. It wouldn't be Cincinnati & Pittsburgh because Ohio State & Penn State would have massive tantrums. Maybe Syracuse or Rutgers join the Big Ten, and whoever doesn't join the Big Ten could join the ACC. When it comes to the Big 12 & Pac-12, I'm not sure. I think having Texas in the Pac-12 would have given that conference the necessary financial boost to stabilize it. I remember hearing long ago that the old Pac-10 wanted Colorado & Texas to join their ranks. The President of the University of Texas in 1993 or 1994 said that he would have preferred joining the Pac-10, but state politics made that impossible. If Colorado & Texas joined the Pac-10, then who should have been placed in the Big 12? I have to disagree with your plan involving the SEC & the ACC. I would swap South Carolina & Georgia Tech for each other. I have to admit that I never considered UCF for the ACC. However, it can't be as crazy as having UCF play in the Big 12. I admit that I'm not sure who else I would've added as a 12th team for the ACC if it wasn't UCF, but it wouldn't be Boston College or Connecticut. West Virginia would never be accepted because their academics are considered to be lower than Louisville. If all of the schools that you would have in the Big East had stayed together, then there are so many possibilities that I would probably expand that conference beyond 12 football teams just so they could narrow the gap in TV money between themselves & the other power conferences you discussed. I would probably add Army & Navy as football-only members, while their other sports programs would remain in the Patriot League. Maybe add Memphis, Tulane, UCF, & USF in the southeast. Maybe add TCU, SMU, & Houston in the southwest. I'm just spitballing at this point. I remember one time when the Big East were in a vulnerable situation and considered adding Boise State & San Diego State. One thing I need to disagree with you on is the use of divisions in these conferences. In my set-up, any conference that has 12 football teams or less would have to play a full round-robin conference schedule, without exception. The top two teams in each conference, based on conference record and/or top-25 ranking, would play against each other in their conference championship game.
Yeah. Tradition has been killed for the sake of this "progress" that everyone has been pushing for. Sure. This year all these weird games that are conference games are gonna feel like watching a bowl game in the middle of the season and the nation is slightly intrigued by it all. But in a few years it's gonna just start messing with everyone. Especially the schools themselves that have to pay for all the travel and the NIL to try and make their teams good enough to warrant this crazy travel. And the students on the teams are going to start suffering when it comes to their grades and stuff at some point. Because they are going too busy traveling across the country to be in class. I just don't know how this will work long term.
Notre Dame is in the B1G as a hockey associate member, which makes sense logistically. Johns Hopkins is an associate Big Ten Men's and Women's Lacrosse member and was used to get an automatic bid in that sport.
@@BallTalkBoyos Lacrosse is big in Maryland, Johns Hopkins which has a wavier to play Men’s Lacrosse at the Division 1 level while other sport for them are D 3. The biggest rivalry in that sport is Maryland-Johns Hopkins every year. So it means more now they are now both in the Big Ten for that sport. John
That’s the biggest one I went back and forth on, however in Part 2 I explain my reasoning for making BYU an independent. Obviously in my ideal world they play every year on rivalry week!
Utah has won 9 of the last 10 matchups in the series. They have bigger fish to fry than BYU. Every single “rivalry” cannot be preserved. If this was the case then Notre Dame, Michigan, Florida State, Navy, USC, Boston College, Purdue, Stanford, Michigan State, and Miami all need to be in the same conference because Notre Dame is rivals with all of these programs.
Your 12 team conferences are great. I can’t believe people don’t care that every time a team joins your conference, your team is less likely to win the conf. championship. If I’m never going to win the conf. championship, what’s my goal for the season? Win a random bowl game that no one will watch ‘cause they’re too busy watching the 12-team CFP tournament?
Obviously it's not fair to pick-and-choose too much, so I'll preface by saying this may be the best-feeling realignment plan I've seen yet. My only gripe is by making it so exclusive, you kick out really exciting or really promising schools like SMU and BYU (especially SMU imo), and I'd prefer to see schools like Tulane and Memphis given a seat at the table. It does feel really nice having BYU and Utah in the same conference right now, I gotta say. But to reiterate, really nice job.
I appreciate it! I can agree with a lot of what you said. If I was going to make the power conferences 14 or 16 I definitely would’ve put Tulane, Memphis, and SMU in power conferences. Probably BYU as well, but in part 2 I explain my reasoning for making them independent!
I personally think Temple would be a neat addition to the Big East as well alone with Army and Navy for football only. BYU while also being a Mormon crazy school should definitely be in the same conference as Utah considering how intense the Holy War is compared to Colorado-Utah
8-10 schools per conference, round robin, no divisions, no conference championship game, 11 game season, top 4 after the Bowls go to a playoff. You must play only FBS schools, have 5 true road games (or 6 road/neutral), and win 7 games, to be post season eligible.
I'd eliminate divisions within the conferences all together. I'd add Penn State, Army, and Navy to the Big East. I'd keep Nebraska in the B1G and add Houston to the Big 12. I've gone back and forth on whether USF or UCF should be in the ACC, but you're right, UCF is a good fit. I'd keep South Carolina in the SEC and GT in the ACC.
For your big east model. Add Temple and Memphis. If you want to go to 12, Add Umass and Buffalo. Temple is in Philadelphia and Memphis would bring those market into the Coference. Temple also potentially bring in potentially Rivalries with Rugter and Pittsburgh to where Memphis is Rivalries with both Louisville and Cincinnati from the Metro era. Even if the viewership is low. UMass is bad but has natural Rivalries with Uconn and Boston College. Buffalo bring in the second Market of Buffalo to the Big East and give Syracuse a In-State Rivaly. Big East New England Boston College Buffalo Rugters Syracuse UConn Umass Appalachian Cincinnati Louisville Memphis Pittsburgh Temple West Virginia
Just for the record, the Big 10 wanted Notre Dame before they added Penn State. Notre Dame said no, even though at the time they played Michigan, Michigan State, and Purdue every year. Notre Dame started playing 5 ACC schools so that their Basketball team could join the ACC. Now Notre Dame is back being an independent.
For me, "perfect".... a) Respects and maintains the core members of the major conferences if feasible given the overall goals (e.g. balance in power and value). b) Geo sanity c) Respects cultural, academic, etc. preferences.
Agree with your conferences, don't agree with you not mentioning Mizzou as a power player in the Big 12 or their rivalries with Kansas and Nebraska. They've always been a generally good team and are a top 10 program right now with some incredible HS commitments. I'm of course saying this as an MU fan, but it's also true that we never get any respect haha
Also, I dont think having OU in the XII South with Texas would make that division too lopsided comapred to the XII North. With OSU in the XII North, 5/6 of those teams are currently in the Top 25 - only Kansas isnt up there; they're a good team. The XII South would only have Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas A&M. TCU, Baylor, and Texas Tech are worse than almost any team in the XII North.
I appreciate your idea about divisions, but I think scrapping them is good because then you don't ever have to worry about lopsided divisions and you have a good chance of seeing two true rivals play each other in the conference championship
I make a Lonestar Conference: NORTH DIVISION - Baylor, North Texas, SMU, TCU, Texas Tech, UTEP.. SOUTH DIVISION - Houston, Rice, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas State, UTSA.. And my PAC-12 Conference would be: NORTH DIVISION - California, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, Washington, Washington State.. SOUTH DIVISION - Fresno State, Hawaii, San Diego State, San Jose State, UCLA, USC..
I mostly agree although in my opinion the Big East is way too weak of a conference in my opinion. Also for competition reasons I think an interesting idea nobody talks about is to have Texas and Florida schools in the same conference. With the Big 12 and ACC spitting up the Big East instead. Also I would put BYU in the PAC-12 despite being basically the opposite of every other school in the region.
I have just one question and it is a small one, but in dividing up the Big Ten, glad you ditched East/West as that was way too lopsided. But prior to East/West, the Big Ten divided into Legends and Leaders. From Wikipedia: "In the Legends division were Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Northwestern. The Leaders division was composed of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin." How do you feel about these divisions, substituting Notre Dame for Nebraska, obviously?
@@gmhelwig I think those would be solid as well! The main thing I’d wanna stress is not having more than 2 of Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, and Ohio State in one division and that still nails that!
Yes, it makes sense historically, geographically, traditionally, rivalry-wise, fanwise and funwise. Unfortunately the only way it doesn't make sense is the only way that matters anymore, and that's financially. The SEC and Big 10 were getting so much more TV money than anyone else. That's why OU and TX bolted, and that's why the Pac 12 fell apart. Everyone is chasing the dollars now, which is why we have the current abomination of conferences. OU fan here, and we were part of the Big 6/8/12 forever, and I'll always miss that. I hate that we left, but I understand why we had to if we wanted to compete on a national level. Otherwise, in the world of NIL, the SEC was just going to outbid us for every blue-chip player. As long as conferences negotiate their own TV contracts, I don't see things changing, everyone will follow the money and get the best deal thaey can.
Here's my full realignment. Conference 1 (Pac 12) Washington Washington St Oregon Oregon St Stanford Cal UCLA USC Arizona Arizona St Utah BYU Conference 2 (Mountain West) Hawaii Fresno St San Jose St San Diego St Nevada UNLV Boise St Utah St New Mexico New Mexico St Wyoming Colorado St Air Force Conference 3 (Big 12) Oklahoma Oklahoma St Tulsa Missouri Kansas Kansas St Colorado Nebraska Iowa Iowa St Minnesota Wisconsin Conference 4 Texas Texas A&M Texas Tech Baylor TCU SMU Houston Texas St North Texas UTEP UTSA Sam Houston St Rice Conference 5 (Big 10) Illinois Northwestern Indiana Purdue Notre Dame Louisville Michigan Michigan St Cincinnati Ohio St West Virginia Pitt Penn St Conference 6 (MAC) Northern Illinois Ball St Western Michigan Central Michigan Eastern Michigan Marshall Buffalo Toledo Akron Bowling Green Kent St Miami Ohio Ohio Conference 7 (SEC) Kentucky Tennessee Vanderbilt Arkansas LSU Ole Miss Miss St Alabama Auburn Clemson South Carolina Conference 8 Louisiana Louisiana Tech Louisiana Monroe Tulane Arakansas St Memphis Southern Miss UAB South Alabama Jacksonville St Troy Conference 9 (ACC) Virginia Virginia Tech North Carolina North Carolina St Duke Wake Forest Georgia Georgia Tech Florida Florida St Miami Florida UCF Conference 10 USF FIU FAU Georgia St Georgia Southern Coastal Carolina East Carolina Charlotte App St Liberty Middle Tennessee St Western Kentucky Conference 11 JMU Old Dominion Maryland Navy Temple Rutgers Syracuse Army UConn UMass Boston College
Both y'all joining the bandwagon to keep Boise State from growing as a program. Ok then you biased east coast fools Boise State will continue taking scalps from every major division starting next season.
@@randomstufffromachristian2287 Saved a blank map and cropped it to fit the geography of each conference and then added all the logos. There’s probably a better way to do it but I just used my phone haha
@@BallTalkBoyos smart, use the tools avaible for ya quick question, imagine if college football started using pro-rel systems like in European football
@@randomstufffromachristian2287 It’ll never happen. At least not in the SEC. Once collective bargaining agreements are part of college football, neither will any of the other conferences.
5 conferences- 14 teams, all regionally based: PAC Arizona Arizona State BYU Boise State Cal Oregon Oregon State San Diego State Stanford UCLA USC Utah Washington Washington State Heartland Conference (BIG12) Arkansas Baylor Colorado Houston Kansas Kansas State Nebraska Missouri Oklahoma Oklahoma State TCU Texas Texas A&M Texas Tech Midwest Conference (Big10) Illinois Indiana Iowa Iowa State Kentucky Louisville Michigan Michigan State Minnesota Northwestern Notre Dame Ohio State Penn State Wisconsin SEC Alabama Auburn Florida Florida State Georgia Georgia Tech LSU Memphis Miami Mississippi Mississippi State Tennessee UCF Vanderbilt ACC Boston College Clemson Duke Maryland North Carolina NC State Pitt Rutgers Syracuse South Carolina Virginia Virginia Tech Wake Forest West Virginia
The problem is your missing several decent programs from these conferences. Where are you putting Boise State, Cincinnati, Louisville, Memphis, & Houston?
We need 5 power conferences and 5 lower tier conferences, all based on region, with relegation to send teams like Rutgers, Vanderbilt, and Northwestern back down to a place they can actually win some games.
Relegation has never been a consideration for the SEC. Vanderbilt is a founding member and is quite well respected and liked. Once collective bargaining becomes part of college football, none of the other conferences would consider relegation either. This is going in an entirely different direction.
The ACC should & ought to be Delaware,Maryland,Virginia,Virginia Tech,Duke,North Carolina,Wake Forest,North Carolina State,Clemson & South Carolina. Pacific 12 should be Hawaii,San Diego State,U.C.L.A,U.S.C.,Fresno State, San Jose State,Stanford,California,Oregon,Washington,Washington State & Oregon State. Utah,Arizona,Arizona State,BYU belong in the Mountain West Conference. Army,Navy,Temple,Colgate & Penn State belong in the Big East. Cincinnati & Notre Dame belong in the Big 10.
I personally feel Colorado should be in place of TCU, then you place BYU in the PAC TCU has no strong history with 7 of the schools, Nebraska-Colorado is a very strong rivalry, and you have 4 teams in the state of Texas already.
kid, mizzou and kansas were in the same conference for over 100 years. Its a massive rivalry, called the border war, and they have even kept it going in non-football sports
I like your picks for the eastern conferences but dude… you can’t not put byu in and put Colorado in instead. You’d be getting a golden rivalry in byu Utah, the Holy War, and byu is just a better overall sports program and has been more relevant.
If we talking about for the Pac-12 u gotta remember a good amount of those schools (mainly the schools in California) did not want to associate themselves with BYU. Not only were the Cal schools very strict with academic standards for the conference but they also didn't want to associate with a very religious school like BYU.
@@bigprovos12 yeah randomnerd hit it right on, BYU had no shot of ever joining the Pac-12, and outside of the rivalry with Utah they feel out of place in my opinion
I'd keep South Carolina in SEC over Kentucky (prob fits better in ACC or Big East basketball powerhouse conferences) Honestly, I'd probably do 8 conferences of 8: Alabama Arkansas Auburn LSU Miss St Ole Miss Tex Tex AM Az Az St Baylor Ok Ok St SMU TCU Tex Tech BC Cincinatti Maryland Notre Dame Pitt Rutgers Syracuse Wvirg BYU Col Iowa St K St Kansas Mizzou Neb Utah Cal Ore St Oregon Stan UCLA USC W State Wash Clemson Florida Florida St Georgia Georgia Tech Miami Scar Tenn Duke Kentucky Louisville NC NC St V Tech Virginia Wake Iowa Mich Mich St Minn Ohio St Penn St Purdue Wis
Like it or you can move Arkansas to the Big 12 like they wanted to in the late 70's to mid 80's before the SEC came calling and bring back Tulane as they with Georgia Tech were the OG of the Coference. Southeast Coference East Florida Georgia Georgia Tech Kentucky Tennessee Vanderbilt West Alabama Auburn LSU Mississippi State Old Miss Tulane Big 12 North Colorado Iowa St Kansas Kansas St Missouri Nebraska South Arkansas Oklahoma Oklahoma St Texas Texas A&M Texas Tech Big Ten Leaders (For Fun) Illinois Indiana Ohio St Penn St Purdue Wisconsin Legends Iowa Michigan Michigan St Minnesota Northwestern Notre Dame ACC Alantic Clemson Florida St Maryland NC St South Carolina Wake Forest Coastal Duke Miami North Carolina USF Virginia Virginia Tech Pac 12 North Boise St Oregon Oregon St Utah Washington Washington St South Arizona Arizona St Cal Stanford UCLA USC Big East(America) North Boston College Pittsburgh Rugters Syracuse Temple Uconn West Virginia South Cincinnati Baylor Houston Louisville Memphis TCU UCF
Sorry but GT burnt major bridges when it left the SEC. They will never get an invite back into the SEC after the way they left. It’s a shame but they can’t blame anyone except themselves.
Georgia Tech left the SEC when they asked Alabama (Bear Bryant) to vote with them on something. He said they would, but reneged on it. After that, Georgia Tech decided to leave.
@@TommyBuskulic-u2k Hardly. GT tried to get the SEC to limit the number of athletic scholarships. Alabama was in opposition to doing that and had more support, so the scholarship numbers remained as they were. It was unacceptable to GT and if they had just left the conference without accusations and disparaging other league members, things might be different today but they trashed other members on their way out. So, no, they won’t ever get an invite to rejoin the conference.
@@Lachronix USF is outside the target academic standing and would be among the worst athletically in the ACC. TUALNE would be a distant athletic outlier. Neither have the media value for a Tier 1 conference. If I recall, the limit is 12 members.
@@thejoshpresle I know this is just my ideal world. Check out my super conferences video to see what I’d do if I was in charge and solely focused on money!
@@KanDuex Agreed, but if it was my ideal world they would be in the Big Ten. Maybe since the Big Ten isn’t solely midwestern nowadays they’ll join eventually once their agreement with the ACC is up
Please quit trying to put the old Big XII back together! The teams that left, they left for a reason. They would still be there, if they wanted to continue playing those other schools in conference play.
BYU was unlikely to be accepted into the Pac-10 or Pac-12 because it is a religious institution, funded by the Mormon Church. The unlikely became an absolutely not in 2008. BYU's financier, the Mormon Church, funded a campaign to support California ballot Proposition 8. The proposition was to pass a State constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Not surprisingly, all of the west coast schools (especially in the Bay Area) made it clear that they would never allow BYU into their ranks. To add insult to injury, the Pac-10 approved the application of the University of Utah to become a new member.
I think you big ten one is very wrong switch ND and OSU the reason the michigan osu gsme is so big is because it can hace such large big ten championship game stakes.
To throw a wrench in the machine how about using the relegation system used in European football ( soccer )? For example Vanderbilt was historically awful in the SEC. They did not deserve to stay in conference. With money and TV contracts being everything why not throw caution to the winds and have rule changes based on the survival of the fittest. Also separate football from other sports regarding the NCAA. Lastly the NCAA is obsolete. The myth of a student athlete is a joke. College football is the NFL and CFL’s minor leagues.
Naw bro youre way off with A&M...The East portion of Texas is basically louisiana. austin college is more weat and liberal. A&M way more conservative like the true south.
Heavily biased opinion.......just jeep promoting the narrative that Boise State doesn't deserve a Power conference status.....FFS? WHAT OTHER TEAMS DO THEY NEED TO BEAT TO GET AN OUNCE OF FCKING RESPECT FROM ANY FCKING BODY?

The biggest rivalry in that sport is Maryland-Johns Hopkins every year. So it means more now they are now both in the Big Ten for that sport.
John
We need to protect rivalries!
Proceeds to split up the holy war.
That’s the biggest one I went back and forth on, however in Part 2 I explain my reasoning for making BYU an independent. Obviously in my ideal world they play every year on rivalry week!
Utah has won 9 of the last 10 matchups in the series.
They have bigger fish to fry than BYU.
Every single “rivalry” cannot be preserved. If this was the case then Notre Dame, Michigan, Florida State, Navy, USC, Boston College, Purdue, Stanford, Michigan State, and Miami all need to be in the same conference because Notre Dame is rivals with all of these programs.
@@AdventurousMal hmm…where your national title?
@@AdventurousMal Half of those ND rivalries make no sense.
Your 12 team conferences are great. I can’t believe people don’t care that every time a team joins your conference, your team is less likely to win the conf. championship. If I’m never going to win the conf. championship, what’s my goal for the season? Win a random bowl game that no one will watch ‘cause they’re too busy watching the 12-team CFP tournament?
Sadly teams would rather have some more money than even be competitive
No they aren't the sec would lose millions not having texas aggie and mizzou not to mention George tech left on their own choice
@@elvangulley3210good, the SEC helped ruin this so they have to pay
@WDB2005 sec ruined nothing stop being jealous
Obviously it's not fair to pick-and-choose too much, so I'll preface by saying this may be the best-feeling realignment plan I've seen yet.
My only gripe is by making it so exclusive, you kick out really exciting or really promising schools like SMU and BYU (especially SMU imo), and I'd prefer to see schools like Tulane and Memphis given a seat at the table.
It does feel really nice having BYU and Utah in the same conference right now, I gotta say.
But to reiterate, really nice job.
I appreciate it! I can agree with a lot of what you said. If I was going to make the power conferences 14 or 16 I definitely would’ve put Tulane, Memphis, and SMU in power conferences. Probably BYU as well, but in part 2 I explain my reasoning for making them independent!
@@BallTalkBoyos you inspired me to make a map www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1s4VKCZHfaSPo7Z2zbQam_FnEKmOCddg&usp=sharing
I personally think Temple would be a neat addition to the Big East as well alone with Army and Navy for football only.
BYU while also being a Mormon crazy school should definitely be in the same conference as Utah considering how intense the Holy War is compared to Colorado-Utah
8-10 schools per conference, round robin, no divisions, no conference championship game, 11 game season, top 4 after the Bowls go to a playoff.
You must play only FBS schools, have 5 true road games (or 6 road/neutral), and win 7 games, to be post season eligible.
I'd eliminate divisions within the conferences all together. I'd add Penn State, Army, and Navy to the Big East. I'd keep Nebraska in the B1G and add Houston to the Big 12. I've gone back and forth on whether USF or UCF should be in the ACC, but you're right, UCF is a good fit. I'd keep South Carolina in the SEC and GT in the ACC.
Neither USF nor UCF are fits in the ACC, which doesn't need more Florida schools.
I agree 1,000% on the Big East. That conference is perfect. Adding Army and Navy for football would be pretty cool.
Army and Navy would be solid for sure
For your big east model. Add Temple and Memphis. If you want to go to 12, Add Umass and Buffalo. Temple is in Philadelphia and Memphis would bring those market into the Coference. Temple also potentially bring in potentially Rivalries with Rugter and Pittsburgh to where Memphis is Rivalries with both Louisville and Cincinnati from the Metro era. Even if the viewership is low. UMass is bad but has natural Rivalries with Uconn and Boston College. Buffalo bring in the second Market of Buffalo to the Big East and give Syracuse a In-State Rivaly.
Big East
New England
Boston College
Buffalo
Rugters
Syracuse
UConn
Umass
Appalachian
Cincinnati
Louisville
Memphis
Pittsburgh
Temple
West Virginia
That’s a fun conference for sure
Just for the record, the Big 10 wanted Notre Dame before they added Penn State. Notre Dame said no, even though at the time they played Michigan, Michigan State, and Purdue every year. Notre Dame started playing 5 ACC schools so that their Basketball team could join the ACC. Now Notre Dame is back being an independent.
Wasn't South Carolina also a former member of the ACC like Georgia Tech was in the SEC?
Yes they were!
For me, "perfect"....
a) Respects and maintains the core members of the major conferences if feasible given the overall goals (e.g. balance in power and value).
b) Geo sanity
c) Respects cultural, academic, etc. preferences.
Agree with your conferences, don't agree with you not mentioning Mizzou as a power player in the Big 12 or their rivalries with Kansas and Nebraska. They've always been a generally good team and are a top 10 program right now with some incredible HS commitments. I'm of course saying this as an MU fan, but it's also true that we never get any respect haha
Also, I dont think having OU in the XII South with Texas would make that division too lopsided comapred to the XII North. With OSU in the XII North, 5/6 of those teams are currently in the Top 25 - only Kansas isnt up there; they're a good team. The XII South would only have Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas A&M. TCU, Baylor, and Texas Tech are worse than almost any team in the XII North.
I appreciate your idea about divisions, but I think scrapping them is good because then you don't ever have to worry about lopsided divisions and you have a good chance of seeing two true rivals play each other in the conference championship
@@crashlit I can agree that they’re lopsided for sure but I feel like it does help create some more rivalries year after year with teams
I make a Lonestar Conference:
NORTH DIVISION - Baylor, North Texas, SMU, TCU, Texas Tech, UTEP..
SOUTH DIVISION - Houston, Rice, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas State, UTSA..
And my PAC-12 Conference would be:
NORTH DIVISION - California, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, Washington, Washington State..
SOUTH DIVISION - Fresno State, Hawaii, San Diego State, San Jose State, UCLA, USC..
I mostly agree although in my opinion the Big East is way too weak of a conference in my opinion. Also for competition reasons I think an interesting idea nobody talks about is to have Texas and Florida schools in the same conference. With the Big 12 and ACC spitting up the Big East instead. Also I would put BYU in the PAC-12 despite being basically the opposite of every other school in the region.
Makes sense, I like these ideas!
Great video. What do you think about BYU? 😊
Big east needs to return. Huge rivalries with pitt wvu cinci louisville. Memphis toledo buffallo libeety are good prospects
I agree with most, but some I disagree with. Great video though, and glad you put thought into it
Appreciate it!
3 Indiana big ten teams would be crazy especially because then they would have amazing football and basketball talent
This is a great video! The conferences were great
Thank you!
I really want Georgia Tech to return to the SEC. The GA Tech-Tennessee rivalry was legendary and needs to come back.
I have just one question and it is a small one, but in dividing up the Big Ten, glad you ditched East/West as that was way too lopsided. But prior to East/West, the Big Ten divided into Legends and Leaders. From Wikipedia: "In the Legends division were Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Northwestern. The Leaders division was composed of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin." How do you feel about these divisions, substituting Notre Dame for Nebraska, obviously?
@@gmhelwig I think those would be solid as well! The main thing I’d wanna stress is not having more than 2 of Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, and Ohio State in one division and that still nails that!
Yes, it makes sense historically, geographically, traditionally, rivalry-wise, fanwise and funwise. Unfortunately the only way it doesn't make sense is the only way that matters anymore, and that's financially. The SEC and Big 10 were getting so much more TV money than anyone else. That's why OU and TX bolted, and that's why the Pac 12 fell apart. Everyone is chasing the dollars now, which is why we have the current abomination of conferences. OU fan here, and we were part of the Big 6/8/12 forever, and I'll always miss that. I hate that we left, but I understand why we had to if we wanted to compete on a national level. Otherwise, in the world of NIL, the SEC was just going to outbid us for every blue-chip player. As long as conferences negotiate their own TV contracts, I don't see things changing, everyone will follow the money and get the best deal thaey can.
I think that you hit it with the conferences right

Really good conferences! I think the only change I’d make to yours is swapping UCF for Tulane but that’s purely personal preference. Good job!
WVU would not been accepted by the ACC. UCONN would be a better choice
The problem is your missing several decent programs from these conferences. Where are you putting Boise State, Cincinnati, Louisville, Memphis, & Houston?
Part 2!
You could’ve done USF, Memphis, Houston, and SMU to the Big East to make it 12 teams across the board. Otherwise great realignments!
Would be solid for sure!
We need 5 power conferences and 5 lower tier conferences, all based on region, with relegation to send teams like Rutgers, Vanderbilt, and Northwestern back down to a place they can actually win some games.
@@chrism6880 Promotion and relegation would be really cool!
Relegation has never been a consideration for the SEC. Vanderbilt is a founding member and is quite well respected and liked. Once collective bargaining becomes part of college football, none of the other conferences would consider relegation either. This is going in an entirely different direction.
The ACC should & ought to be Delaware,Maryland,Virginia,Virginia Tech,Duke,North Carolina,Wake Forest,North Carolina State,Clemson & South Carolina. Pacific 12 should be Hawaii,San Diego State,U.C.L.A,U.S.C.,Fresno State, San Jose State,Stanford,California,Oregon,Washington,Washington State & Oregon State. Utah,Arizona,Arizona State,BYU belong in the Mountain West Conference. Army,Navy,Temple,Colgate & Penn State belong in the Big East. Cincinnati & Notre Dame belong in the Big 10.
I personally feel Colorado should be in place of TCU, then you place BYU in the PAC
TCU has no strong history with 7 of the schools, Nebraska-Colorado is a very strong rivalry, and you have 4 teams in the state of Texas already.
With your Big 10 I’d swap Iowa for the north to keep them with Minnesota and Wisconsin, and have Northwestern in the South
Mizzou would drop intercollegiate athletics before being relegated to a rinky-dink conference with Kansas.
They were in a conference with them a decade ago
kid, mizzou and kansas were in the same conference for over 100 years. Its a massive rivalry, called the border war, and they have even kept it going in non-football sports
Tell us you don't know what you're talking about without telling us blah blah blah
I'd like to see UC in the big ten
@@AHomelessShoe would be cool!
I like your picks for the eastern conferences but dude… you can’t not put byu in and put Colorado in instead. You’d be getting a golden rivalry in byu Utah, the Holy War, and byu is just a better overall sports program and has been more relevant.
If we talking about for the Pac-12 u gotta remember a good amount of those schools (mainly the schools in California) did not want to associate themselves with BYU. Not only were the Cal schools very strict with academic standards for the conference but they also didn't want to associate with a very religious school like BYU.
@@randomnerd2332I see what you’re saying but I think they should just suck it up because BYU is a very solid sports program
@@bigprovos12 yeah randomnerd hit it right on, BYU had no shot of ever joining the Pac-12, and outside of the rivalry with Utah they feel out of place in my opinion
Put Penn State in the Big East and have ND stay independent. Big Ten should have 10 teams.
I'd keep South Carolina in SEC over Kentucky (prob fits better in ACC or Big East basketball powerhouse conferences)

Sorry but GT burnt major bridges when it left the SEC. They will never get an invite back into the SEC after the way they left. It’s a shame but they can’t blame anyone except themselves.
Georgia Tech left the SEC when they asked Alabama (Bear Bryant) to vote with them on something. He said they would, but reneged on it. After that, Georgia Tech decided to leave.
@@TommyBuskulic-u2k Hardly. GT tried to get the SEC to limit the number of athletic scholarships. Alabama was in opposition to doing that and had more support, so the scholarship numbers remained as they were. It was unacceptable to GT and if they had just left the conference without accusations and disparaging other league members, things might be different today but they trashed other members on their way out. So, no, they won’t ever get an invite to rejoin the conference.
@@jansonroberts2616 I agree that Georgia Tech will never be invited back to the SEC. Their future will be in the Big Ten, if the ACC collapses.
@@jansonroberts2616 I just remembered that Tulane left the SEC, and simply said that they couldn't compete in the conference.

They would still be there, if they wanted to continue playing those other schools in conference play.

Oh what do you prefer college football conferences the way they are? Pathetic
No BYU in the PAC12?
BYU was unlikely to be accepted into the Pac-10 or Pac-12 because it is a religious institution, funded by the Mormon Church. The unlikely became an absolutely not in 2008. BYU's financier, the Mormon Church, funded a campaign to support California ballot Proposition 8. The proposition was to pass a State constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Not surprisingly, all of the west coast schools (especially in the Bay Area) made it clear that they would never allow BYU into their ranks. To add insult to injury, the Pac-10 approved the application of the University of Utah to become a new member.
Your hired
No USF? crazy
@@Toxicity0069 Part 2!
I think you big ten one is very wrong switch ND and OSU the reason the michigan osu gsme is so big is because it can hace such large big ten championship game stakes.
To throw a wrench in the machine how about using the relegation system used in European football ( soccer )? For example Vanderbilt was historically awful in the SEC. They did not deserve to stay in conference. With money and TV contracts being everything why not throw caution to the winds and have rule changes based on the survival of the fittest. Also separate football from other sports regarding the NCAA. Lastly the NCAA is obsolete. The myth of a student athlete is a joke. College football is the NFL and CFL’s minor leagues.
No.
Because football isn't the only sport?
What about Nebraska v Iowa😭😭😭😭
You obviously have no clue why the big 12 split. How bout doing some reasearch
Naw bro youre way off with A&M...The East portion of Texas is basically louisiana. austin college is more weat and liberal. A&M way more conservative like the true south.

Heavily biased opinion.......just jeep promoting the narrative that Boise State doesn't deserve a Power conference status.....FFS? WHAT OTHER TEAMS DO THEY NEED TO BEAT TO GET AN OUNCE OF FCKING RESPECT FROM ANY FCKING BODY?
I would love Boise State in the power conferences. If I made the Pac-12 2 teams bigger I would’ve put them in
