RE: Would the AAC and MWC get back on the talks of a merger?
Let's say the XII takes BYU, Houston, Memphis, and Cincinnati. That leaves 9+12=21 schools between AAC/MWC. They add Rice, Middle Tennessee St, and Western Kentucky (just an example.) They could merge and have 4 divisions of 6. Top 2 division champions go to CCG and other 2 division champions play for 3rd/4th. This would help with seeding for bowls between division champions.
Pacific: Hawaii, San Diego St, Fresno St, San Jose St, UNLV, Nevada
Mountain: Boise St, Utah St, Wyoming, Air Force, Colorado St, New Mexico
Central: Tulsa, SMU, Rice, Tulane, Middle Tennessee St, Western Kentucky
Eastern: Central Florida, South Florida, East Carolina, Temple, Connecticut, Navy
5 division games + 1 game from each other division for 8 conference games. I know Navy wants to be in a Texas-school division so maybe rearrange. Just a thought.
