RE: Design Your Dream Conference(s) - IHAVETRIED - 02-21-2020 08:58 AM NEW METRO CONFERENCE (all East of Mississippi River Schools (exc one) named for their City or Town) 5 Privates; 5 Publics 10 States Boston College Syracuse Miami Pittsburgh Cincinnati Louisville Memphis Auburn Clemson Houston RE: Design Your Dream Conference(s) - DavidSt - 02-21-2020 09:22 AM (02-17-2020 05:59 PM)schmolik Wrote:(02-17-2020 05:51 PM)Bronco14 Wrote: Ohio I am kinda wishing that the 1978 and 1982 rules that actually split conferences up that hurt schools like West Texas A&M, Wichita State, Lamar, McNeese State, Hardin-Simmons and UTA. Some downgraded while a couple dropped football. West Texas A&M was West Texas State when they were 1A/FBS beginning in 1978 part of MVC with schools like Tulsa and New Mexico State. If they stayed in D1 for several more years? Would the SWC still a FBS conference with them coming on board? They would pair nicely with UTEP when UTEP are really on an island.

(Given instant Power Conference status in all sports. Because reasons.) Thanks. The whole point was to have a conference where at least half the members belonged to a Power conference at some point in their history. I think I achieved that here. That said. I'll make a compromise SWC where I substitute Lamar, North Texas, and UTSA for the following teams: Tulsa, Kansas, and Kansas State. Therefore, they could be divided into North and South divisions, and the layout gets expanded north into Kansas. SWC (with Kansas Big 12 teams and Tulsa): North Arkansas Arkansas State Kansas Kansas State Memphis Oklahoma State Tulsa South Houston Louisiana-Lafayette Louisiana Tech Rice SMU Texas State Tulane Makes for a good football-first conference with some good hoops, too. (Besides, I just can't separate the teams that were at one point members of the SWC during its existence. Only Oklahoma State had moved on by the time Houston joined the league, but most of the other actual SWC schools included in this dream conference played each other for at least thirteen years. So I couldn't split them up. And furthermore, the basis of the first iteration of my new SWC came from this fake news thread I wrote last year. I feel like I could've won the contest if I had made it a little more realistic, i guess. lol) RE: Design Your Dream Conference(s) - Kit-Cat - 02-23-2020 08:17 PM MAC-12 plus 4 for basketball: Saint Louis Illinois Chicago Milwaukee IUPUI Good academics and with 16 in basketball the MAC would have A10 type saturation for the sport in the Midwest. Play a 18 game basketball schedule. Every team 1 time for a total of 15 games then break the conference into quads for the round robin opponent. 1-4 5-8 9-12 13-16 This way if a program does a VCU finishing in the Top 4 every year they get a SOS boost only going double round robin within the Top 4. It would hurt the bottom 4 of the league but the trade off at the top is worth it.

RE: Design Your Dream Conference(s) - schmolik - 02-26-2020 06:22 AM This is the "Power 64" if college basketball was king instead of college football. The criteria is # of NCAA Tournament wins 2000-2019 with exception that "First Four" wins don't count (why reward those?) The "Mendoza" Line was 5 wins but because 65 teams had 5 or more wins, one team had to be bumped out so that team was Tulsa since they had the fewest number of NCAA appearances in those 20 years. 8 divisions of 8. Number of wins listed after each team. Big Ten Michigan State 46 Wisconsin 33 Ohio State 22 Michigan 19 Purdue 19 Illinois 17 Indiana 14 Notre Dame 13 Total 183 SEC Kentucky 45 Florida 38 Louisville 28 Memphis 16 Tennessee 15 Florida State 9 Auburn 8 Alabama 6 Total 165 ACC North Carolina 50 Duke 49 Maryland 21 Virginia 14 NC State 9 Georgia Tech 7 Miami, Fla 7 Wake Forest 6 Total 163 Pacific Gonzaga 31 Arizona 30 UCLA 27 Oregon 20 Stanford 11 Washington 9 USC 7 San Diego State 6 Total 141 Big East: Connecticut 33 Syracuse 30 Villanova 28 Pittsburgh 16 Georgetown 11 Temple 6 Boston College 6 St. Joseph's 5 Total 135 Big 12 Kansas 50 Wichita State 11 Iowa State 11 LSU 9 Missouri 9 Kansas State 9 Vanderbilt 5 S. Illinois 5 Total 109 Atlantic 10 (lack of a better name) Butler 22 Xavier 22 West Virginia 18 Marquette 13 Cincinnati 12 Va. Commonwealth 8 George Mason 5 Dayton 5 Total 105 SWC Oklahoma 20 Texas 19 Oklahoma State 11 Texas Tech 11 Baylor 11 Texas A&M 10 Utah 7 Nevada 6 Total 95 There were a few oddball placements to keep 8 balanced divisions. North Carolina and Duke are in the same division but the Big Ten is the top division based on wins as all eight teams have at least 13 wins. The SEC looks a lot better without the deadweight (plus Louisville was added). The Pacific didn't do as bad as I would expect, they actually outdid the Big East. The "A-10" mainly became a leftover division as was the SWC division. I wanted to put the Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas schools together but there were too many. This will show you which of the current P5 teams are dead weight in college basketball. Hey, you had 20 years to win 5 NCAA Tournament games. If you had to do 16's, ACC-Big Ten, Big East-A-10, SEC-Big 12, Pacific-SWC.

That Ohio River contingent is an underrated hotbed and was a strong force in the 2005-2012 Big East both on the field and with TV ratings. Rutgers, Syracuse, UConn certainly makes sense as well.
