Say hypothetically you were in a 12 team conference with all the 1A and 1AA teams that are closest to your campus... Who would have the best conference? Remember, they have to be closest to your campus. The Ville's conference would be pretty weak!

1. Louisville
2. Kentucky
3. WKU
4. EKU
5. Murray St.
6. Morehead St.
7. Cincinnati
8. Indiana
9. Miami (OH)
10. Butler
11. Vanderbilt
12. Ball St.

The Potomac Valley Conference might fare a little better.

1. Maryland
2. Virginia
3. Virginia Tech
4. Navy
5. Delaware
6. Towson
7. Georgetown
8. Howard
9. William & Mary
10. Richmond
11. VMI
12. James Madison

The state of Ohio could form a conference

Cincy
tO$U
Miami (OH)
Toledo
Ohio
Kent State
Akron
Bowling Green
Dayton (to make it nine)

The Florida Conference

1. FSU
2. Jacksonville
3. Florida A & M
4. BCC
5. UCF
6. USF
7. Florida
8. FAU
9. FIU
10. Georgia Southern
11. Valdosta State
12. Georgia/Georgia Tech/

New England Conference:

UConn
Yale
URI
Brown
Holy Cross
UMass
Central Ct St
BC
Northeastern
Harvard
New Hampshire
Darmouth
(I'm not certain if a few other schools, like Sacred Heart and Fairfield, have low-level 1AA teams) and I'm treating northern New England as closer to UConn than NY metro (army, Fordham, columbia).

Sacred Heart does have football, as does Central Connecticut. Fairfield used to play football but dropped it in 2003.

1. Memphis
2. Ole Miss
3. Arkansas State
4. UT Martin
5. Mississippi State
6. MTSU
7. Vandy
8. Southern Miss
9. Delta State
10. Tennessee State
11. Southeast Missouri
12. Murray State

East Carolina
North Carolina
North Carolina State
Duke
Wake Forest

the main point here is all of these would suck.

5. UT Chattanooga
6. UAB
7. Georgia Southern
8. Samford
9. Savannah State
10. South Carolina

You get almost a full North Carolina conference. Drop Clemson, Virginia Tech, UVA, & South Carolina.

Your top 5 stay, plus add Elon, NC A&T, Richmond, and Winston Salem St.
