Iowa State, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Vanderbilt

I also like Option 1 better.
That Northern division is fairly weak, but a guaranteed spot in the conference semis might be enough to give them the shot in the arm they need.
Try this on for size to compliment the SEC listed above:
B1G:
Illinois, Indiana, Northwestern, Ohio State, Purdue
Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Wisconsin
Colorado, Nebraska, Oregon, Utah, Washington
Arizona, California, Cal Los Angeles, Southern Cal, Stanford
ACC:
Maryland, Notre Dame, Penn State, Rutgers, Syracuse
Boston College, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, West Virginia
Duke, North Carolina, N.C. State, Virginia, Wake Forest
Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, T.C.U.
New P4 Conference:
Army, Cincinnati, Connecticut, Navy, Temple
Central Florida, East Carolina, Memphis, South Florida, Tulane
Baylor, Houston, Kansas State, Southern Methodist, Tulsa
Air Force, Arizona State, Oregon State, San Diego State, Washington State
I think the service academies might stick in the upper tier if these schools made up the bulk of their schedules.
