College Football Realignment - My attempt #2
Category: NCAA

Back on May 14th, I tried this and while I’ve proven to be no Kreskin, I’m gonna give this a second shot and see what shakes out.  I have five BCS leagues here.

1.  Pac 10.  Of course, they’ll believe that they’re too good for Hawaii, but why not try to lift a school up to your “educational level”, Pac-10?  Sacrifice a little and help ‘em out.

 

Coastal

Southwest

Washington

Arizona

Washington State

Arizona State

Oregon

BYU

Oregon State

Oklahoma State

Stanford

Colorado

California

Texas

U$C

Texas Tech

UCLA

Hawaii

 
2.  MWC/WAC.  Go back to the future and realign the MWC and WAC and add the remnants of the Big 12. 

 

Division 1

RMC Division 2

Kansas

UNLV

Utah

Nevada

Utah State

New Mexico

Colorado State

Boise State

Kansas State

San Jose State

Wyoming

Fresno State

Air Force

San Diego State

Missouri

TCU

 Move Louisiana Tech to the Sun Belt, and relegate New Mexico State and Idaho to the Big Sky.

3.  Big Ten.

 

East

West

West Virginia

Nebraska

Pitt

Minnesota

Ohio State

Iowa

Indiana

Wisconsin

Penn State

Michigan

Purdue

Michigan State

Northwestern

Illinois

Cincinnatti

Iowa State

 
I really like the idea of the WVU/Pitt and Pitt/Penn State rivalries getting far more attention, and with the Big 10's fan base, this could really take off.
 
4.  ACC/Big East.  In my scenario, the Big East gets raided all to hell.  Let’s combine what’s left. 
 

 Atlantic

Coastal

Boston College

Virginia Tech

Clemson

Virginia

Wake Forest

Georgia Tech

Vanderbilt

Navy

Maryland

Army

North Carolina State

Duke

South Carolina

South Florida

Syracuse

Rutgers

Notre Dame

Connecticut

 
You’ll notice this is the only league where I have 18 teams.  I wanna see Army and Navy here.  Air Force is in a league, so I have no problem with Army and Navy being here. 
 
Not only that, Army, Navy, and Notre Dame could really bring some popularity and fan base to this far-flung league.  Not to mention the Army/Navy and BC/ND rivalries.

5.  SEC.  Do the rich get richer? 

 

 East

West

Georgia

LSU

Tennessee

Auburn

Florida

Arkansas

Kentucky

Mississippi State

Louisville

Alabama

Miami , FL

Ole Miss

Florida State

Oklahoma

North Carolina

Texas A&M

 
You might have noticed that I didn’t place Baylor anywhere.  Well, as I tried to make each league 16 teams, and judging from a competitive standpoint, the only team left standing in the old Big 12 was Baylor – I say put ‘em in Conference USA.

Does anybody truly doubt that none of this would have happened if the Mountain West wouldn’t have rose up like they have?  So thank you Mountain West, we might just get some meaningful change in CFB!!!
