29texan Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Ok. Considering how stacked the B1G is already, if they decide to go out and get 4 more schools with other conferences getting 12-16, SOME of these "Small timers" could get picked up just as leftovers. I'm pretty sure we'll see much more addition to FBS than subtraction. Especially now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Maybe, although considering how Buffalo's 1 moment of football glory was an 8-6 season highlighted by Turner Gill not being intimidated by Brady Hoke's pointing, I suspect most leagues will look elsewhere.

cohenj21 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Ok, ladies and gentlemen, I am here to officially announce my genius realignment plan for the NHL. No teams are relocated, no teams are added or deleted, and only three (that's right, THREE) teams have to move divisions. The intention of this genius realignment plan is to move the Jets out of the Southeast, which makes absolutely zero sense. Well, folks, here it is. Teams changing divisions are in caps.Eastern ConferenceAtlanticNew JerseyNew York IslandersNew York RangersPhiladelphiaPittsburghNortheastBostonBuffaloMontrealOttawaTorontoSoutheastCarolinaFloridaNASHVILLETampa BayWashingtonWestern ConferenceCentralChicagoColumbusDetroitMINNESOTASt. LouisNorthwestCalgaryColoradoEdmontonVancouverWINNIPEGPacificAnaheimDallasLos AngelesPhoenixSan JoseWell, there it is.

Magnus Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Not a realignment of teams, but of the schedule. Under the impression that the current 6-division, 5-team-per structure stays put, I would like to address the breakdown of games. This is to allow every team to see every other team at least once in their own building, as well as once away, because of the likely increase in TV exposure and ticket sales that the high-demand teams might bring to some of the lower-demand teams. The Columbus/Phoenix/Islanders crowds would be guaranteed to see Washington, Pittsburgh, Detroit etc. at least once in their building every season. It will also allow for the Original Six matchups to happen every season for all 6 of those teams, which I think is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn State has an enrollment of 95,883 students (if you count all the campuses). I also think Penn State is too prestigious to join the MAC. And would the MAC even let them in because of the scandal? I think Penn State's best bet is to join the Independents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, neither Pitt nor Notre Dame count as adequate replacements.

Magnus Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I have never liked that the Soo Greyhounds are in a different division than the Sudbury Wolves, so...Teams will play an unbalanced schedule, with a home-and-away against the 15 non-divisional teams (30), and ten games each against divisional rivals(40), for a 70-game schedule, two more than the current 68-game one. This geographic arrangement should (in theory) cut down on travel costs, although Sudbury and the Soo will likely have the most travel whatever division they get placed in.The top 4 teams in each division would make the playoffs.I also worked out the breakdown of the season and playoff schedules, which can be seen here. I didn't really fit in an OHL All-Star Game, but I think it could be fit in one of the off-weeks I put into the schedule, or the time between the end of the OHL Final and Memorial Cup.

In the actual alignment of the OHL, Owen Sound is also definitely in the wrong division. There is no reason whatsoever that they should be in the Midwest while Niagara is in the Central.

Magnus Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Having Sudbury and the Soo so much further north than the other 18 teams makes any alignment unfair for some teams. That's what we get for living in Northern Ontario. But that's also why I think those two teams should at least be in the same division with each other. Comparatively, the 307 km between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie is shorter than any other trip those two teams have to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
