This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Lots of rising from the ashes. by ck2_nd

West is the old Pac 8/Pac 12
Southwest is the old SWC
Plains is the old Big 8
Midwest is the old Big 10
North East is the old Traditional Independents
South East is the old ACC
and South is the Old SEC.

If you start with that you get some movement.

Were it up to me I would hae BYU and Utah go into the SW, and the two oklahoma schools go to Plains.

Have Midwest just be the old Big 10, (Grab Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin)

Missouri is an old Big 8 School.

Probably move former independents Cincinnati and Louisville to the Plains,

I will let the ACC and SEC folks figure out the South and South East.

Preserves some historical rivalries, also you then have 3 out of division games. I would let the old independents (not North East) have fewer in division and more out of division games.
