What's this?

The move of Tex, TT, OU, and Ok.St. to Pac12 provides best realignments.


I do feel these remaining 4 leagues would begin to work together and continue their distancing from everyone else. There would be a tremendous amount of symmetry too.

Pac16N:
Oregon
Oregon St.
Washington
WSU

Pac16C:
Stanford
Cal
UCLA
USC

Pac16R:
Utah
Colorado
Arizona
ASU

Pac16SW:
Oklahoma
Ok.St.
Texas
TT

B1GW:
Kansas
Nebraska
Iowa
Minnesota

B1GMW:
Wisconsin
Illinois
NW
Purdue

B1GMW:
OSU
Michigan
Michigan ST.
Indiana

B1GE:
Penn St.
Rutgers
Maryland
UCONN

ACCN:
ND
Cuse
Louisville
BC

ACCMA:
Pitt
WVU
VT
UVA

ACCNC:
UNC
Wake
NC St.
Duke

ACCS:
Clemson
GT
FSU
Miami

SECW:
TCU
Baylor
A&M
LSU

SECW:
Arkansas
Missouri
Miss.
Miss.St.

SECS:
Bama
Auburn
Tennessee
Vandy

SECE:
Kentucky
UGA
USCE
Florida

There ya go. That's some logical realignment there. The biggest winner is UCONN. They deserve to be in a P5 league IMO. State school with a fairly interested fanbase. They've sold out women's bball games for goodness sakes. Iowa St. and Kansas St. are the real losers here. They're done for and headed back to second tier where they can go and win championships. KSU has only been good due to their reliance upon JUCO's. They do not have the underlying support to maintain a successful fball program without that.

WVU, TT, Baylor, TCU, and Oklahoma St. find good homes. Texas and Oklahoma always knew they would.

ND is forced into this, with the conference championship being a necessity. The brilliance of it is that they would only HAVE TO play 7 ACC games each year. They could and should be able to make that work.

BTW, the leagues that needed football powers got them. The Pac12 added OU and Texas while the ACC added WVU and ND. Significant football presitge upgrades for both.

The B1G became the clearly second best baskteball league by adding UCONN and Kansas. Well that's worth SOMETHING.

The SEC added two decent football programs in TCU and Baylor. And while there is a rule against adding schools from states that are already SEC, I feel they may relax that rule for Texas. It would indeed benefit them to become THE conference of Texas in many ways. Texas is the second biggest state after all, and it's a football loco state too.
