or two 9-team conferences if the Horns want to play
Imagine a 20 team conference.  With two 10 team divisions.  Then the winners could play their conference championship game on January 1 in Pasadena.  That would be too insanely progressive to ever work, I know.  But I can dream.

You're California-dreaming, my friend.

Atlanta has a LOT of B1G fans and CFB here is King.  The Dawgs seem to be recruiting well again.

Nice day here today.  81F right now mid afternoon.

It's not an original idea, but I'd want one of the 10-team divisions to be the original Big Ten with each division performing a round robin. So, excluding OOCs, the only interdivisional game would be the BTCG.
I know it won't work. It's just what I want. Obviously, challenge one is to get enough additions. Even then, how do you reconcile the central teams being together while UNL and others out west pair with PSU, Maryland and others out east?

Washington State
Oregon
Oregon State
Cal
Stanford
Arizona
Arizona State
UCLA
USC

East
Iowa
Minnesota
Illinois
Wisconsin
Northwestern
Purdue
Indiana

You know, just spit balling here.

And then, a further idea.  Don't actually make it one weird conference, instead make it two separate conferences.  The mind wobbles!

But I'd be down with OAM's divisions too. Looks like fun!

Seems like people are coming around to my line of thinking

Where you run into trouble is aligning combinations of the old Big 8, SWC and SEC.


Some schools would have to be purged to get to 20 total.
