Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

[3076]

I think our best hope is to be in the 3rd best “P” conference. Whether it’s the 5 + 11 or the 4-4-2-2 model or whatever, we will be duking it out for 1 of 2 CFP spots in perpetuity.

We probably have a better shot finishing Top 2 in a conference of peers vs trying to out “eye test” the top 4 of the SEC or B1G. Those leagues will game their schedules to make sure they’re never left out.

There are rumors of an SEC/BIG challenge type deal if both conferences are guaranteed 4 spots. Wonder what would happen to the Iowa game? Guessing they’d want out so they could play the Albany’s of the world to pad their win total.

No current Big 12 school is going to the SEC or Big 10.

Both leagues have had opportunities to add every school and passed.

Not unlee (until?) the top 20 brands rapture out to the Premier League.

Then maybe they'd cherry pick from the ACC and B12. But at that point, why not just have 4 similar conferences or all band together to make a 50-ish team league and rationalize divisions based on geography, history, rivalry, etc.

If the top 20 brands do their own thing, the remaining Big 10 and SEC schools will join up with us like you suggested.

Without those brands, there’s no reason for Big 12 and ACC schools to leave
