Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 5202381, member: 5685"] I still think 30 teams works best (although we could get left out from that). Big Ten and SEC would consist of 6 team divisions and play 10 conference games. So you play regional rivals yearly and lose no games from the old setups. B1G... PAC 8 division- currently they have USC, UCLA, Washington, Oregon. IMO Stanford would make the most sense but you could argue Cal instead. Big 8/WAC division- currently they have Nebraska. Potential fits are Kansas, Colorado, Iowa State, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah. B1G West division- Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Northwestern B1G East division- Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, Indiana Eastern Indy division- currently they have Penn State and Rutgers (although you could argue having Maryland here). Notre Dame would fit. Then potentially Syracuse, BC, Pitt, UConn. ACC division- currently they have Maryland. Potential fits FSU, Miami, GA Tech, Clemson, UNC, Duke, NC State, UVA, Virginia Tech. SEC... MWC/WAC division- potential fits Fresno State, San Diego State, UNLV, BYU, Utah, Colorado State, Boise State, Arizona, Arizona State, Cal. Big 8 division- they already have Oklahoma and Missouri. Potential fits Colorado, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Iowa State. SWC division- they already have Texas, A&M, and Arkansas. Potential fits Houston, Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU, SMU. SEC West division- LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Alabama, Auburn. SEC East division- Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Kentucky. ACC division- they already have South Carolina. Potential fits FSU, Miami, Clemson, GA Tech, UNC, NC State, Duke, UVA, VA Tech, Louisville. P5s with no shot- Wake, Oregon State, Washington State, West Virginia, Cincinnati, UCF. States with no shot- Delaware, West Virginia, New Mexico, Wyoming, Hawaii. I suppose you could include a third 30 team conference and have the 90 teams break away. Then you can include every state but Hawaii. Leftover conference... Two PAC/MWC/WAC divisions- potentially Oregon State, Washington State, Cal or Stanford, Fresno State, Boise State, Colorado State, San Jose State, Nevada, Utah State, Wyoming, Air Force, New Mexico. Big 12 division- potentially Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Houston, Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU, SMU Big East division- potentially West Virginia, Pitt, Cincinnati, USF, UCF, Temple, Louisville, BC, SU, UConn. ACC/AAC division- potentially Wake, Duke, USF, UCF, ECU, Tulane, Memphis, FAU, Army, Navy, Delaware Division of leftover leftovers- whatever makes sense from the above teams. Most likely a Big East/ACC/AAC grouping. If you did go to 90 then you can have your conference playoffs consisting of the 6 division champs and four wildcards (10 of 30). Then have a national playoff with the 3 conference champs and two wildcards (5 of 90). That is a ton of playoffs, but playoffs is where the $ is made. [/QUOTE]
