Dream alignment and play off
OK this will never happen but with Idaho dropping to FCS and Liberty Moving up to FBS I noticed a nice geographic split

West: HI, CA, OR, WA, ID, NV, AZ, NM, CO, UT, WY = 26 teams
SW: TX, OK, LA, KS, NE, MO, AR = 26 teams
SE: MS, TN, KY, AL, GA, SC, FL (North) = 26 teams
Atlantic: MA, CT, PA, NY, NJ, VA, MD, NC, FL (South) = 26 teams
Midwest: IA, MN, WI, MI, IL, IN, OH, WV = 26 teams

We can then assign conferences

West: PAC & MWC
SW: B12 & CUSA
SE: SEC & SBC
Atlantic: ACC & AAC
Midwest B1G & MAC

West:
PAC N: UO, OSU, UW, WSU, Stanford, Cal, Boise
PAC S: UA, ASU, USC, UCLA, Colorado, Utah, BYU

MWC W: Hawaii, SDSU, SJSU, Fresno, Nevada, UNLV
MWC M: Wyoming, Utah State, UNM, NMSU, CSU, AFA

SW:
B12 S: UT, TAMU, TTU, TCU, Baylor, Houston, LSU
B12 N: Arkansas, OU, OSU, KU, KSU, Nebraska, Mizzou

CUSA W: UNT, SMU, UTSA, UTEP, TSU, Rice
CUSA E: ULL, ULM, LA Tech, Tulane, Tulsa, ASU

SE:
SEC National: UK, UTn, Ole Miss, Bama, UGa, USC-e, UF
SEC American: Louisville, Vandy, MS ST, Auburn, GT, Clemson, FSU

SBC N: WKU, MTSU, Memphis, GA State, GA Southern, Coastal Carolina
SBC S: USM, Troy, USA, UAB, UCF, USF

Atlantic:
ACC N: BC, UConn, Syracuse, Rutgers, Penn State, Pitt, UMiami
ACC S: UVa, VT, UNC, NCSU, WF, Duke, UMd

AAC N: UMass, Buffalo, Army, Temple, FAU, FIU
AAC S: Charlotte, ECU, App State, Liberty, ODU, Navy

Midwest:
B1G N: Wisky, Minnie, UM, MSU, OSU, Cincinnati, WV
B1G S: Iowa, ISU, Illi, Northwestern, Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame

MAC W: NIU, Ball St, EMU, WMU, CMU, Toldeo
MAC E: BGSU, Akron, Kent St, Miami-OH, Ohio U, Marshall


Play off
P5 conference winners go into quarter finals
P5 runners up (either CCG loser or highest ranked team) plus highest ranked G5 team into first round
G5 plays away to P5 from same region
Other P5 play home according to ranking
Orange, Peach, Cotton, Fiesta are QF
ACC, SEC, Big XII, PAC winner gets one of above respectively
Big Ten plays against lowest ranked P5 so can move QF bowls
Rose and Sugar are SF
Based on who gets through, so a PAC SF will always get Rose
You can't play anyone from your conference until NC

Example

Round One:
Western Michigan @ Michigan
Oklahoma State @ Clemson
Virginia Tech @ Stanford

Round Two:
Orange: NC State vs Clemson
Peach: Alabama vs Stanford
Cotton: Oklahoma vs Ohio State
Fiesta: Oregon vs Michigan

Semis:
Rose: Oregon vs Clemson
Sugar: Alabama vs Ohio State

Blue, I like your setup a lot. To avoid breaking up Florida, here's a potential variant. Miami, FAU, and FIU are moved to the Southeast region while Clemson, South Carolina, and Coastal Carolina are moved to the Atlantic region. Then the divisions are mixed around a little.

ATLANTIC

ACC
North: Boston College, Connecticut, Maryland, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse
South: Clemson, Duke, NC State, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech

American
North: Army, Buffalo, Liberty, Massachusetts, Navy, Temple
South: Appalachian State, Charlotte, Coastal Carolina, East Carolina, Old Dominion, Wake Forest

MIDWEST

Big Ten
East: Cincinnati, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Purdue, West Virginia
West: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Iowa State, Minnesota, Northwestern, Wisconsin
Protected crossover: Indiana/Purdue

MAC
East: Akron, Bowling Green, Kent State, Marshall, Miami (OH), Ohio
West: Ball State, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinois, Toledo, Western Michigan
Protected crossover: Bowling Green/Toledo

SOUTHEAST

SEC
East: Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Miami (FL), South Florida
West: Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
Protected crossovers: Auburn/Georgia, Kentucky/Louisville

Sun Belt
East: Central Florida, FAU, FIU, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Western Kentucky
West: Memphis, Middle Tennessee, South Alabama, Southern Miss, Troy, UAB

SOUTHWEST

Big 14
North: Arkansas, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State
South: Baylor, Houston, LSU, TCU, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech
Protected crossover: Oklahoma/Texas

C-USA
East: Arkansas State, Louisiana Tech, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, Tulane, Tulsa
West: North Texas, Rice, SMU, Texas State, UTEP, UTSA

WEST

Pac-14
North: Boise State, California, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, Washington, Washington State
South: Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, Colorado, UCLA, USC, Utah
Protected crossovers: California/UCLA, California/USC, Stanford/UCLA, Stanford/USC

MWC
Mountain: Air Force, Colorado State, New Mexico, New Mexico State, Utah State, Wyoming
West: Fresno State, Hawaii, Nevada, San Diego State, San Jose State, UNLV

What do you think?

RE: Dream alignment and play off
I did think of something like that, but it moves Wake down to G5, I wanted to keep all Current P5 teams.

Also everyone's says Miami has more in common with north east.

But yes I like it

You got too much Carolina and too much Alabama. Plus, why didn't you take a look at moving Vandy down to the G5? I'll have to come up with something later when I have more time.

RE: Dream alignment and play off
I don't think if P5 stays at 5 anyone would move down.

In mine Boise, BYU, Houston, UConn & Cincinnati move up.

Maybe Houston makes it too much Texas, but they've been talked about in recent realignment

Maybe keep UConn in the American and leave Wake Forest in the ACC? This would split up the Virginias, but that's what protected crossovers are for.

Gulf: New Mexico St, Texas St, UTSA, North Texas, Arkansas St, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe

Big 8: Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Kansas, Kansas St, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, Iowa St

B1G: Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Northwestern, Indiana, Purdue, Michigan, Michigan St, Ohio St

MAC: Northern Illinois, Ball St, Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan, Ohio, Miami OH, Toledo, Bowling Green St, Akron, Kent St

Wouldn't work, with the protected crossovers. That means that the North (Oregon State, Oregon, Washington, Washington State, and Boise State) would play Southern California (USC/UCLA) a total of 2 times every 5 years, and would only play down in Southern California once every 5 years.

USC would literally need a 10-year rotation to rotate through a home-and-home with the other 5 teams there. That's just structurally.

So, you'd have 6 divisional games, and 2 protected cross-overs. That would leave one game to play to play the other northern schools. This is the reason why the PAC-12 won't expand without having another pull of another big state.

That's not to mention that the two teams you brought on would literally be the last 2 that the PAC-12 would realistically consider. Boise State doesn't have the market and doesn't have the academics. At best, they'd be another Utah without a big market to draw their base from. BYU has other problems such as the religious fellowship. The PAC-12 would not bring on either of those schools any time soon.

Fair enough, but I don't think the alignment is meant to be realistic to begin with, though. 04-cheers

Under this scenario I think ODU would just as soon go independent. If it's all the same with you.

West: Fresno State, Hawaii, Nevada, San Diego State, San Jose State, UNLV

What do you think?

Clemson and South Carolina don't agree on much but we would band together to fight that alignment tooth and nail. We want to go south, not north. That alignment isolates both schools from our key recruiting grounds in GA and FL.

North- Oregon, OSU, Washington, WSU, Boise St.

ACC:

East- NC St, Duke, WF, ECU, Navy

West- Louisville, Cincy, Memphis, Baylor, SMU

South- Miami, GT, Clemson, UCF, USF

North- BC, Pitt, Cuse, Temple, Army

There's one aspect of this that I really like.

The only downside I can see is that the Wolfpack would be pretty busy. Maybe Duke, Wake and ECU can pitch in and take some of their SEC games? It would be worth it.

West: HI, CA, OR, WA, ID, NV, AZ, NM, CO, UT, WY = 26 teams
SW: TX, OK, LA, KS, NE, MO, AR = 26 teams
SE: MS, TN, KY, AL, GA, SC, FL (North) = 26 teams
Atlantic: MA, CT, PA, NY, NJ, VA, MD, NC, FL (South) = 26 teams
Midwest: IA, MN, WI, MI, IL, IN, OH, WV = 26 teams

We can then assign conferences

West: PAC & MWC
SW: B12 & CUSA
SE: SEC & SBC
Atlantic: ACC & AAC
Midwest B1G & MAC

West:
PAC N: UO, OSU, UW, WSU, Stanford, Cal, Boise
PAC S: UA, ASU, USC, UCLA, Colorado, Utah, BYU

MWC W: Hawaii, SDSU, SJSU, Fresno, Nevada, UNLV
MWC M: Wyoming, Utah State, UNM, NMSU, CSU, AFA

SW:
B12 S: UT, TAMU, TTU, TCU, Baylor, Houston, LSU
B12 N: Arkansas, OU, OSU, KU, KSU, Nebraska, Mizzou

CUSA W: UNT, SMU, UTSA, UTEP, TSU, Rice
CUSA E: ULL, ULM, LA Tech, Tulane, Tulsa, ASU

SE:
SEC National: UK, UTn, Ole Miss, Bama, UGa, USC-e, UF
SEC American: Louisville, Vandy, MS ST, Auburn, GT, Clemson, FSU

SBC N: WKU, MTSU, Memphis, GA State, GA Southern, Coastal Carolina
SBC S: USM, Troy, USA, UAB, UCF, USF

Atlantic:
ACC N: BC, UConn, Syracuse, Rutgers, Penn State, Pitt, UMiami
ACC S: UVa, VT, UNC, NCSU, WF, Duke, UMd

AAC N: UMass, Buffalo, Army, Temple, FAU, FIU
AAC S: Charlotte, ECU, App State, Liberty, ODU, Navy

Midwest:
B1G N: Wisky, Minnie, UM, MSU, OSU, Cincinnati, WV
B1G S: Iowa, ISU, Illi, Northwestern, Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame

MAC W: NIU, Ball St, EMU, WMU, CMU, Toldeo
MAC E: BGSU, Akron, Kent St, Miami-OH, Ohio U, Marshall


Play off
P5 conference winners go into quarter finals
P5 runners up (either CCG loser or highest ranked team) plus highest ranked G5 team into first round
G5 plays away to P5 from same region
Other P5 play home according to ranking
Orange, Peach, Cotton, Fiesta are QF
ACC, SEC, Big XII, PAC winner gets one of above respectively
Big Ten plays against lowest ranked P5 so can move QF bowls
Rose and Sugar are SF
Based on who gets through, so a PAC SF will always get Rose
You can't play anyone from your conference until NC

Example

Round One:
Western Michigan @ Michigan
Oklahoma State @ Clemson
Virginia Tech @ Stanford

Round Two:
Orange: NC State vs Clemson
Peach: Alabama vs Stanford
Cotton: Oklahoma vs Ohio State
Fiesta: Oregon vs Michigan

Semis:
Rose: Oregon vs Clemson
Sugar: Alabama vs Ohio State

West Virginia is not the Midwest.

I know, that was what I was least happy with, but they are more Mid West than Big XII

This isn't bad, but I don't think that Michigan/OSU would be in different divisions. They tried the protected crossover with that already (before you joined) and it didn't work. Switch OSU and NW and you have it, at least from a Big10 point of view.
