Losing Sam Houston and NMSU are going to hurt. I know NMSU has had a bad season, but those are two of the best programs in the league. As of now, there are no replacements. The league will drop a bit as a result. It will still be solidly in the middle of Division 1.

I'd say there are two tiers: Multi-bid and One-bid. There are 10 Multi-bid conferences. Nothing else matters.

lol, the A10 is not ahead of the AAC after the moves. Have you seen Florida Atlantic, North Texas alone this year? Both could easily go dancing.

The AAC is going to take a step back. FAU is a one and done type program. North Texas and UAB I could see being competitive regularly.

not as far back as the A10 has gotten. Plus, Memphis isn't going anywhere.

This seems well done overall. Good job, shizzle787.

Two minor moves:

I would rank the P6 as follows:

1. Big 12
2. SEC
3. ACC (the league will be back with purpose sooner rather than later)
4. Big Ten
5. Big East
6. Pac

I would likely have C-USA in Tier 3 (perhaps at the top of that tier).
