Bama-Ohio St-  Agree. Kings of the Hill

Georgia-Michigan- Agree.  Great history. Lots of wins.  Not a lot of championships in the AP era though.

Penn St-Florida-  Both had fallen off.  Both seem to be coming back though.

MSU-Auburn- Better history than most schools in the country but second fiddle in their own states.

Nebraska-Tennessee-  Neither are what they used to be.

Wisconsin-LSU- Tough nosed grind it out football teams.  Sometimes unappreciated because of others in their conference.

Missouri-Maryland-  Misfits.  Still identified largely with their former leagues.

A&M-Iowa-  Good solid programs historically but always in the shadow of other schools.

Minnesota-Ole Miss-  Gotta be pretty old to remember their prime.

Kentucky-Indiana- Historically get their revenge during basketball season.

Rutgers-South Carolina-  Neither joined these conferences based on the merit of past accomplishments.

Purdue-Miss St-  Will give the big boys a scare but get lost among all the giants.

Illinois-Arkansas-  Have had moments in the sun but you kinda forget they are in the league sometimes now.

Northwestern-Vandy-  The SAT champs of their respective leagues.

Kris has some nice pairings - I like, better than mine.  I was just musing as usual.

I don't think this could be done with other conferences, perhaps the Pac and the Big 12.  The ACC has such a dominating team right now and a bunch of others it's impossible.

The second best team in the ACC is almost irrelevant.

I'd probably put Maryland with SC. 

The parallels are quite astonishing (at least for me personally) from leaving a conference, to recruitment, to having coaches with the same name throughout the year.
