TrueYankee26 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 SEC is still primarily Southeastern, they added teams in North Carolina and Virginia so they can steal some fans from the ACC in that region, even though they are not as popular as the ACC schools there. They added Tulsa as damage control when Texas achieved their goal of being independent (as their AD said in 2040).Big 12 expanded its geographical horizons a bit adding more teams from the Midwest,Tennessee, and Florida. Also they wanted a super-conference much like the rest of the conferences so they did add some teams who didn't fit. It was either adapt or die, and having lost Texas to the SEC in 2020, they felt that they had to damage control.The Texas AD comment is just hypothetical, just for the sake of what would happen between now and 2100.

Roger Clemente Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Okay, so it looks like only Las Vegas and Quebec City have put in formal bids for an NHL expansion team and it seems doubtful anyone else will be throwing a bid in now. So let's pretend they both get approved, and in the meantime, nobody else moves. Not Arizona, not Florida, not any team.My proposal for a 32 team NHL:WESTERN CONFERENCEWestern Canada Division: Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, WinnipegPacific Division: Anaheim, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San JoseSouthwest Division: Arizona, Colorado, Dallas, St. LouisCentral Division: Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, NashvilleEASTERN CONFERENCEEastern Canada Division: Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa, TorontoNortheast Division: Boston, Buffalo, Columbus, PittsburghAtlantic Division: New Jersey, NY Islanders, NY Rangers, PhiladelphiaSoutheast Division: Carolina, Florida, Tampa Bay, WashingtonScheduling formula:2 games (1 home, 1 away) versus the 16 teams in opposite conference = 32 games3 games (1 home, 1 away, 1 alternating home or away that changes each season) versus the 12 teams in other divisions of same conference = 36 games4 games (2 home, 2 away) versus other three teams in division = 12 games1 extra home game and 1 extra road game against a division opponent, rotating each season = 232 + 36 + 12 + 2 = 82 games.Bonus Hockey Day in Canada schedule:1 PM EST = MTL v QUE4 PM EST = OTT v TOR7 PM EST = CGY v EDM10 PM EST = VAN v WPG Quote Follow me on Twitter if you care: @Animal_Clans.My opinion may or may not be the same as yours.

2001mark Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Detroit would not go back west. As much as it would help EVERYONE else, no backsies. NHL could move Florida to Seattle for balance, & sanity. Quote @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martymcfry Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hey guys. I've been working on a realignment of the FBS, but I've got a few dilemmas here as far as where to put the teams. I had a few goals here: To put (most) teams back in their original conferences before the realignment wave hit, to bring back old rivalries, and to keep conference sizes reasonable. So my idea was to reduce the conferences to ten, put 12 in six conferences and 14 in four. Here are the problems I have:Should I put Texas A&M and Missouri back in the Big 12 or should I keep them in the SEC? Right now I'm leaning toward the latter for two reasons. One is I'm moving Nebraska and Colorado back to the Big 12 for sure so the Big 12 would have 14 teams and the SEC 12. I don't think there are any other teams that can compete in the SEC so I can't increase the SEC to 14, and I think the SEC is better suited to have 14 teams than the Big 12. Second is, both schools compete evenly with the rest of the competition. A new policy that I'm establishing to go along with this is that non-conference rivalries are to be re-established, so we could have Texas-Texas A&M once again.Which should I put in the Pac-12, BYU or Boise State? I know both could compete in the conference. The Pac-12 is staying at twelve teams. Also, the one I don't pick is going the MWC.Please leave feedback!(Note to mods: If needed, please move this somewhere else. The concepts just seemed like the best place to put it.)

HyamesField Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Boise State to the PAC-12!! That program just has a big time feel that surrounds it, and there is not doubt they deserve it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_grateful_ted Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 If you're adding Colorado and Nebraska to the big 12 don't add Missouri and Texas A&M back. BOISE STATE WOOOO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martymcfry Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Oops! Was not aware of that. Thanks for moving this.Seems like Boise State is the popular decision for the Pac-12. Besides, BYU has a history in the MWC.I'll be releasing a full chart later today.EDIT: Forgot to add this, Charlotte will not be in my FBS. I was not in favor of their promotion.
