  • I was sitting around the other day and a random thought hit me: if I could pick my "perfect" conferences (not that such a thing exists), what would they be? Well, here's a video briefly showing it. Thoughts?

    I like this. Conferences need to be based on geography as much as possible. West Virginia plays Texas every year, but won’t play Pittsburgh 75 miles away. Conference realignment really has created a bunch of crappy conference match ups that aren’t interesting to watch. I’m not opposed to change but pageantry and tradition need to be preserved as much as possible.

    My dream alignment is 8 conferences of 10 teams. The conference winners (no champ game) after round-robin play go to the playoffs with the B1G and B12 playing Peach, SEC and SWC playing Cotton, PAC-12 and MWC playing Fiesta and Big East and ACC playing Orange, ideally the week of Christmas. Then Orange/Cotton Bowl winners play in the Sugar Bowl semifinal, and the Fiesta/Peach winners play in the Rose Bowl semifinal on New Years Day, before meeting for the national championship the week after that.
    My conferences:
    Big East: Penn State, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Syracuse, Rutgers, Boston College, Cincinnati, Louisville, Virginia Tech, Miami
    ACC: Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Duke, NC State, Wake Forest, South Carolina, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Florida State

    I think one of the biggest issues with college football is how large the conferences are getting. 16 teams in a conference means you’d win, on average, once every 16 years?? It’s no wonder everything is funneling towards the top. Plus, with bigger conferences there are fewer conference championships, which means less happiness for fans. It’s should be conferences of 8 teams, each champion getting an auto-bid in the playoff. That would create the most parody. It also would never happen.

    I love doing hypothetical conference realignment scenarios so this is right up my alley. A few suggestions I'd make:
    - I know you want Kentucky to be paired with Louisville to give them a natural rivalries, but Cincinnati could fill that void and fit just the same.
    That way Kentucky can go back down south.
    - I also get pairing Cal and Stanford back with USC and UCLA, but if the goal is to maximize geographical sense, then honestly keep the Pac 12 divisions they had and add Boise State to the North and BYU to the South. Same difference. The way I see it, you have a cluster of teams in the northwest, a cluster of teams in the mountain west/4 corners states.....and then the Cal schools to divide for the rest.
    - Kentucky would be the outlier in the SEC, but that's already nothing new, as they'd just take the place of USF in your SEC East.
    -Then to fix the USF move, Middle Tennessee State goes to the MAC to fill that gap, and USF goes to your Sun Belt. Problem solved. 🙂

    Ten, Fourteen Team Conferences...LAUGHABLE!!!
    There are too many teams in D1 Football as it is now...Don't add other teams that have ZERO Business being in D1 Football!!! If anything, get back to Ten Team, Regional Conferences, and re-establish natural rivalries!!! IMHO, there are about 80 teams that DESERVE to be considered D1 Teams (P5, or D1A), and the rest are G5 (Or D1B) type teams!
    Let's do this with a bit of Logic and Reason...For the D1A Teams, recreate what was the ten team ACC, BIG TEN, PAC-10 and SEC Conferences, and add a team or two here and there to get to ten teams for the conferences that had less than ten teams, then recreate the other so called major conferences that had several teams DESERVING of D1A Status...Examples!
    ACC: Clemson, Duke, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Maryland, North Carolina, NC State, Virginia, Wake Forest, and ADD say South Florida!
    BIG TEN: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Northwestern, Ohio State, Purdue, Wisconsin.
    PAC-10: Arizona, Arizona State, California, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Washington, Washington State.
    SEC: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Tennessee, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt.
    RECREATE and Realign the AAC, BIG EAST, Mountain West and a Hybrid of the BIG-8 and Southwest Conference with these Ten Teams:
    AAC: Central Florida, Cincinnati, East Carolina, Houston, Louisville, Memphis, Miami, South Carolina, Southern Miss, Tulane.
    BIG EAST: Boston College, Notre Dame, Penn State, Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple, U-Conn, Virginia Tech, West Virginia.
    Great Plains: Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU.
    Mountain West: Baylor, BYU, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Utah.
    NOW...Let's create the So-Called D1B Conferences...Some will be somewhat the same, others will be new:
    C-USA: Arkansas State, Florida Atlantic, Georgia State, Louisiana Monroe, Middle Tennessee, Ohio, SMU, Tulsa, Troy, Western Kentucky.
    East Coast Conference: Appalachian State, ARMY, Buffalo, Coastal Carolina, Charlotte, Liberty, Marshall, NAVY, ODU, U-Mass.
    Mid-American: Akron, Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Kent State, Miami of Ohio, Northern Illinois, Toledo, Western Michigan.
    SUN-BELT: Florida International, Georgia Southern, Louisiana, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, North Texas, Rice, South Alabama, UAB, UTSA.
    Western Athletic: AIR FORCE, Hawaii, New Mexico, Nevada, San Jose State, Texas State, UNLV, Utah State, UTEP, Wyoming.
    That's 130 teams...Eight D1A Conferences, and Five D1B Conferences...Play a Round-Robin 12 game regular season...Each Division has their OWN Playoff using the Bowls!!!
    The AAC and SEC in the Sugar Bowl...The ACC and BIG EAST in the Orange Bowl...The BIG-TEN and PAC-10 in the Rose Bowl...The Great Plains and Mountain West in the Cotton Bowl.
    The Sugar and Orange Bowl Winners play in the Peach Bowl...The Cotton and Rose Bowl Winners play in the Fiesta Bowl...The Winners of the Fiesta and Peach Bowls play for the National Championship at Jerry's World the Sunday before The Super Bowl.
    For the D1B Conference playoff, each Conference winner and the Three HIGHEST RANKED At-Large Teams are Selected. Rank them 1 thru 8, with 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, 3 vs. 6, and 4 vs. 5. Use the Six BEST Bowls outside the Six Major Bowls used for the D1A Playoffs and have the same type of playoff format.
    The 1 vs. 8 Winner vs the 3 vs. 6 Winner...The 2 vs. 7 Winner vs. the 4 vs. 5 Winner. Those Winners play for the D1B National Championship the Saturday Night before the D1A National Championship.
    SIMPLE!!!

Maine is literally in the middle of nowhere while Rhode Island is much closer to UMass and UConn and even though Maine football has been better than Rhode Island it's a lot closer than the gap between the basketball programs.

    Interesting to find one of these realignment vids prior to yet so close to the subsequent TX/OK news. Likely impossible to get it right with all of the relevant factors. For instance ignoring cultural, etc. differences reminds me of the national borders set in Africa by the exiting colonial powers, as tribal and other conflicts weren't considered (e.g. WVU in the ACC). Frankly, I would start with requiring all 'new" conferences be close in revenue per team, otherwise the weaker ones will have a half-life of just a few years and the efforts are wasted. For instance adding PSU increases ACC media value but losing FSU and MIAMI lowers it back down. I'm betting your proposal exacerbates revenue differences rather than mitigates them. Tinker from there.
    People also seem to ignore the "too many teams from" problem. There is no reason that some states can't be split among 2 or more conferences (e.g. SC, GA, FL & TX), and splitting is likely better anyway.

At the same time, you left out certain FCS schools that are getting bumped up to FBS. I’m not hating or going to dislike but I’m just saying these are the things I disagree with.
