What would be interesting is if you could see the conferences created by everybody, and vote which one you think is the best.

New Mexico is added to give the SWC five states surrounding Texas. It also balances the conference.

I submitted the same, except Houston instead of New Mexico.

I also did one with Houston and Tulane. That way we could have a championship game. Texas division vs non- Texas division.

22% rating. This was a fun exercise. This would be a dream conference. Close rivals, good basketball/football balance.

If I had to go all the way to 16, I'd add:

Notre Dame
Illinois
Iowa
Iowa St

RE: Dalas Morning News build your own conference
It would be neat to see the results and try to map together a conference landscape based on user picks (i.e. if users picked team A, they almost always picked team B, so those two should be in a conference, etc.)

Hey where's Houston?

Houston is in Texas, but I heard they have a problem.

Add UTEP, Rice, Houston, and Tulane.

Sounds good. 14 teams.
Got to call it the Big 16 though.
