RE: Time to Consolidate 5 Conferences Into 4
I took Hawkeye Fan's advice and twisted it by breaking up EVERYBODY. Under my rules, no current P5 conference could have more than 4 current members in any one league, those with 14 members could do so in two leagues, while the Big 12 and Pac-12 could only have one such instance. I also adjusted the alignments to make sure that there was only one school per state within a certain group(except that Texas A&M was allowed to co-exist with any Big12 team from Texas). Here's how it came out:
GROUP 1:
Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia Tech
Iowa State, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota
Nebraska, Northwestern, Southern California, Syracuse
Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest
GROUP 2:
Auburn, Baylor, California, Clemson
Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana State
Louisville, Michigan State, North Carolina, Oregon State
Penn State, Virginia Tech, Washington, Wisconsin
GROUP 3:
Arizona State, UCLA, Florida State, Georgia
Iowa, Mississippi State, Missouri, North Carolina State
Oklahoma, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Rutgers
Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington State
GROUP 4:
Arkansas, Boston College, Duke, Indiana
Kansas State, Maryland, Miami, Mississippi
Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Oregon, South Carolina
Stanford, Tennessee, Texas Christian, West Virginia
Breakdown by groups
ACC: 3/4/4/3
B1G: 4/4/3/3
B12: 2/2/2/4
P12: 3/3/4/2
SEC: 4/3/3/4
