Upset with odu's decision,I figured I would give realignment a chance. Here goes nothing. I would have 14 10 team conferences,with 6 being a group of smaller schools that would pick 1 rep from all their conferences. The other 8 would have 1 rep from each conference that would qualify for playoff. Have a 8/9 playoff,winner getting into 8 team playoff.
