I agree with that reasoning. But am I overlooking something, or is USC also not listed in your PAC? I see 18 teams, including "California" which I take to be Cal-Berkeley, and "Cal Los Angeles" which I take to be UCLA, but no USC. If you were pondering moving them to the Private group and then didn't put them back in the PAC, adding them back could bump Nevada.

I think your larger SEC makes sense - my point (albeit not well articulated) was that you did not feel the need to shoehorn everything into the same size bucket, but allowed for some flexibility to create an overall structure that makes sense. I think in many of these exercises people feel the need to make everything match perfectly, and allowing for some customization makes it easier to come up with groupings that are logical.
