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.

Temple, Kansas, Baylor, plus the SWC schools that weren't picked up immediately by major conferences.  Sorry TCU

I still think the four 16s make the most sense.  And I don't give a damn about tv markets.  I'd rather protect rivalries, or at least make new ones that make sense

I don't like that Rutgers is still in just because they are a member of the lucky geography club
Same could be said for Wake, 
BUT
I think any school that was in a major conference in 1980 should be exempt from a purge, along with the predominant Eastern/Southern Indies, which does not include schools like Temple and Rutgers. Sorry.

How did academic rankings get turned into a conference realignment thread? :smiley_confused1:

If given enough time every thread will turn into a playoff format or conference realignment thread.
Or chili

Unfortunately probably closer to the Infinite Monkey Theorem
