GeoTheo Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I hate the idea of "super"or "mega" conferences. What isthe point of a conference if everyone can play each other? According to Wikipedia (the ultimate sourceon everything), there are 120 FBS schools with an additional four reclassifyingin the next two years. I created 14conferences based solely on Geography. Iincluded the school reclassifying in the next two years. I tried to keep this geographic and not takeinto account historic rivalries or the historic strength of schools at anysport. Most Conferences have 8 schools, some are as small as 6, one as large as10, I figured 8 is a pretty good number, everyone can play each-other infootball and still have plenty of non-conference games against historic rivals.

TBGKon Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Big XII is dissolved. ACC merges with the split-off Big East football schools to become new conference.

GDLions Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 This is what I made up...8 Mega conferences with all 120 fbs schools. I like the idea of them being geographical because lets face it for the most part they are now. 4 of them have 16 schools and 4 have 14, and since I am for a college playoff system I figure each mega conference has a championship game with the 8 winners in a playoff to determine the national champion. I renamed most of the conferences to be 3 letter abreviations, not tottaly sold on them but hey its just for fun. So here we go...PACDivision A - Cal, Fresno ST, SDSU, SJSU, USC, UCLA, Stanford, HawaiiDivision B - Boise ST, Idaho, Nevada, UNLV, Oregon, Oregon ST, Washington, Wash ST.(S)outh (W)est [C]onferenceDivision A - Arizona, Arizona ST, New Mexico, New Mexico ST, TCU, Rice, Texas A&MDivision B - Texas, Texas Tech, Baylor, Houston, N.

Florida, UCF, GeorgiaDivision B - Georgia Tech, Duke, E. Carolina, UNC, NC State, Wake Forest, Clemson, S. CarolinaI do see that some of the divisions are a little weak, and I am quite sure that Ohio ST wouldnt have a problem with this haha. But all in all I think it works and wouldnt make for bad basketball if I do say so myself.Let me know what you guys think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YessSir32 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'm personally not a fan of only 8 conferences. It would cause way too many lop-sided finishes and would never really change.

GriffinM6 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Here's Something Interesting. Why not 8 conferences throughout the FBS? North, South, East, West, North Atlantic, Southeast, Central, Southwest. There will be 15 teams per conference, except for the Southwestern with 13 and Central conference with 12 teams. Every team within a state will play each other once, this does not apply to teams with no other teams within their state. That rule also will not apply for Texas, as each Texas team will not have played 5 of the teams from their state.Then play an amount of other teams from their conference that adds up to 8 games. Then the teams will play 4 out of conference games. There will be 32 regular bowl games. Plus, the 5 BCS games. Every conference is guranteed atleast 2 teams in a bowl. The number 1 and 2 ranked teams, will play eachother for the national champioship.North: Minnesota, C.Michigan, Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, Toledo, Notre Dame, Northern Illinois, Western Michigan, Ohio State, Ohio, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Akron, BuffaloSouth: All 10 teams in Texas, New Mexico, New Mexico State, Louisiana Tech, UL Lafeyette, and UL Monore.

GriffinM6 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 EMU wasn't on the initial picture, but it would help.I'm putting Notre Dame in the Central Conference and taking EMU to the Northern Conference. I'm also just gonna get rid of this separate picture of the confernce, and just make a map.And I'm also gonna put SMU,Mississippi State, and Temple in the Central Conference. I will also put Idaho in the Southwestern. Then I will add Army to the North Atlantic.The conferences have a main color. North(green), East(orange), West(black), South(purple), North Atlantic(Blue), Southwest(red), Southeast(gold), Central(Brown). The boundaries are the conference colors. and the split in the conferences are the divisions, The divisions are either east and west or north and south.Realignment MapThe 4 North Carolina teams circled in gold are part of the SEC West, and the teams circled in brown are part of the Central conference. Southern Miss and Miss. State are part of the Central West, and Kent State and Temple are part of the Central East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
