Designing a P4 (18 teams in each conference) - Expansion
So I've done P4's with 16 in a conference and 14 in a conference. But for you fans of non power football teams, I'm sure you want in! So here's your chance.
The goal is four Power conferences but this time with 18 teams per conference so there's 72 seats at the table. The Power conferences now have to add at least seven new schools (again, reality is an R-word at this board)! Also, you are still free to cut current P5 schools if you wish to add more that seven schools.
Big Ten:
Penn State, Pittsburgh, Temple*, Rutgers, Ohio State, Cincinnati*, Michigan, Michigan State, Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame, Illinois, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Iowa State, Missouri
ACC:
Boston College, Syracuse, Maryland, Virginia, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, North Carolina, Duke, NC State, Wake Forest, South Carolina, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Central Florida*
SEC:
Kentucky, Louisville, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Memphis*, Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi, Mississippi State, LSU, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M, TCU, Baylor, Houston*
Pac 18:
UCLA, USC, California, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, BYU*, Colorado, Boise State*, Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, Texas Tech
* New to Power Conferences. I'll assume football only otherwise Connecticut would be in somewhere.
If you add BYU and Boise State, the Pac 18 still only has room for four Central Time Zone members.
Agree with these seven? Post who should be added instead or would you cut a current Power member to add another G5/non ND indy.
