Pat Forde's Massive College Realignment Proposal
https://www.si.com/college/2020/06/29/nc...ealignment

To his credit, he acknowledges it will never happen, but interesting nonetheless.

Count me in if this could ever happen.

I like it overall. The Yankee and Mid Atlantic conferences would be absolute jokes for PSU and Clemson, respectively. But I love the tight knit geography of the conferences, and think something like this would eventually lead to a real CFP playoff. 10 conference champs and 6 at large

The strength of the Southwest, Sunbelt and Great Midwest conferences would be insane. The Deep South would be really good too.

Fun fact... looks like Houston would be stuck with Tulsa again....Teh Rivalry lives on!

Wow, where to even start? This could never even begin to think about happen. This is as far from happen as east is from west. Further than Trump from Pelosi. Although not as far as ECU is from Clemson.

Oh I know. I was simply referring to their on field performance and how woeful it would be lol. To be in a conference with all of their friends from Texas and Oklahoma would obviously be a dream come true

Honestly, that would be a dream come true for quite a few teams in the Texas / OK region. The only significant loss would be KSU football and KU basketball from the Big 12 but you would A&M as well as some above average mid majors in UH, SMU, NT, and Tulsa.

I'm too young to remember the SWC, but I honestly figured its members were very similar if not the exact same teams listed here; so I assumed everyone in that conference would enjoy being together even if just for the nostalgia. Looked it up and saw this scenario replaces Arkansas with a couple smaller schools, which isn't a bad trade-off.
