New teams and New conferences in Division 1A football

• redfalcon

  

  With all this talk of the Bog Ten expanding, and the moratorium on new teams up in 2 years, there is most likely going to have to be a new conference. Redrawing them would exactly hurt, either.
  
  How is this:
  
  ACC:
  EAST:
  North Carolina
  North Carolina State
  Duke
  Wake Forest
  South Carolina
  Clemson
  
  WEST:
  Georgia
  Georgia Tech
  Tennessee
  Vanderbilt
  Kentucky
  Louisville
  
  
  Big East:
  NORTH:
  Boston College
  Massachusetts
  UConn
  Syracuse
  Buffalo
  Rutgers
  
  SOUTH:
  Temple (lets try it again)
  Maryland
  Virginia
  Virginia Tech
  Marshall
  Appalachian State
  
  
  Big Ten:
  EAST:
  Penn State
  Pittsburgh
  Ohio State
  West Virginia
  Michigan
  Michigan State
  Cincinnati
  
  WEST:

  Northwestern
  Wisconsin
  Minnesota
  Illinois
  
  Big Twelve:
  NORTH:
  Iowa
  Iowa State
  Nebraska
  Missouri

  Kansas State
  
  SOUTH:

  Texas Tech
  Houston
  
  SEC:

  MWC (Now a BCS conference)
  Boise State
  Utah
  BYU
  Nevada
  Colorado
  Colorado State
  Air Force
  Wyoming (If I had to cut one, I would cut this one, but it helps even up the numbers between MWC and WAC)
  TCU (these two don't quite fit in geographically, but it helps the conference strength)
  Hawaii (these two don't quite fit in geographically, but it helps the conference strength)
  
  WAC:
  NORTH:
  Montana
  North Dakota State
  Idaho
  Utah State

  130 total teams in 11 conferences, 7 of which are BCS conferences. 10 new 1A football teams.
  I think I got all the teams.

  I had Saturday School this morning and had to do something for 4 hours while I watched the students.
  
  As for the Big Ten Divisions, It is pretty much like it is now, except for Iowa, but Notre Dame is stronger anyway. That still puts Notre Dame, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota in the same division, not a cakewalk.

  Looks good but FYI Houston is in the Big 12 and C-USA. Not sure if ECU should be in the Sun Belt but if thats all I have to complain about I think you did a good job.

  Whoops, I wanted to have them in Big 12. I wonder if I am forgetting a team then?

  That is the one thing I don't like about this alignment. Originally I set out to rebuild the Big East by combining it with the ACC and creating a EAC, an Eastern American Conference, much like the MAC and the WAC. When I looked at it, though, there just aren't enough teams to make it work. So I set up the Big East much like it is now, the sole conference in the northeast.
  
  EAC would probably look something like this:
  
  Temple
  Syracuse
  Rutgers
  Buffalo
  Uconn
  Massachusetts
  Army
  Navy
  
  Give Georgia and Georgia Tech to the SEC and give Virginia Tech, Virginia, Maryland, and Boston College to the ACC, and put App state and Marshall in C-USA or something.
  
  But there goes the Big East.
