Fair enough.

For me, I'd describe moves like this, as "making the best of a bad situation."  I could never say that I love it.  I couldn't even say that I like it. I just accept it as inevitable and will try to make the best of it.
Exactly this! College Sports will never be what I grew up with? But I’m sure previous generations thought the same.

So in 2003, the year before everything (realignment-wise) went to hell, there were 62 teams in BCS conferences.  Add Notre Dame to get to 63.  Right now, pause everything, let's get some oversight to lock those in, and add 7 to get to seven 10 team conferences...

ACC
  • Clemson
  • Duke
  • Florida State
  • Georgia Tech
  • Maryland
  • North Carolina
  • NC State
  • South Carolina
  • Virginia
  • Wake Forest

BIG 8
  • Boise State
  • Colorado
  • Fresno State
  • Iowa State
  • Kansas
  • Kansas State
  • Missouri
  • Nebraska
  • Oklahoma
  • Oklahoma State

BIG EAST
  • Boston College
  • Miami
  • Notre Dame
  • Penn State
  • Pittsburgh
  • Rutgers
  • Syracuse
  • Temple
  • Virginia Tech
  • West Virginia

BIG TEN
  • Illinois
  • Indiana
  • Iowa
  • Michigan
  • Michigan State
  • Minnesota
  • Northwestern
  • Ohio State
  • Purdue
  • Wisconsin

PAC TEN
  • Arizona
  • Arizona State
  • California
  • Oregon
  • Oregon State
  • Stanford
  • UCLA
  • USC
  • Washington
  • Washington State

SEC
  • Alabama
  • Auburn
  • Florida
  • Georgia
  • Kentucky
  • LSU
  • Mississippi State
  • Ole Miss
  • Tennessee
  • Vanderbilt

SWC
  • Arkansas
  • Baylor
  • BYU
  • Houston
  • SMU
  • TCU
  • Texas
  • Texas A&M
  • Utah
  • Texas Tech

You get a full 9 game round robin, plus some sort of scheduling agreement.  Then it leads to an 8 team playoff, with the 7 conference champions, and the best at large.

Hell, you could even use the bowls as the unseeded quarterfinals.  ROSE = Big Ten vs. Pac Ten; ORANGE = Big 8 vs. ACC/Big East/At Large; COTTON = SWC vs. ACC/Big East/At Large; SUGAR: SEC vs. ACC/Big East/At Large

If the SEC was smart, we'd go after UNC and ND.

The red-headed stepchildren of college football are about to have a big mirror put in front of them (Wazzou, Beavers, etc).

Sounds like Kansas and Oregon

Gotta be Oregon.  I'd assume Washington as well.  Maybe Colorado and Kansas.

That would give the B1G 20.

@ELA , I'm not sure why you're looking back.

That being said, the only way we can go back is if these super conferences go to 20 programs in 2 ten-team divisions.....we'd have old-school conferences under a larger umbrella.  They COULD even keep their divisions separate (like AL/NL used to be in MLB), with the champs facing off in the CCG (a la the first few Super Bowls - NFL/AFL).  
So it's possible, but probably unlikely.

The ACC has, maybe, one chance at a hail mary- Notre Dame football.

Well, in the buffet of life, sometimes you get the last piece of  tough, dry chicken fried steak and sit down just as they dump a fresh batch of crab legs up there.....
