Sort of a spin off of the bad team fit thread.

I wish the original Big East conference existed with a legitimate football component.

Penn State
Pitt
West Virginia
Syracuse
Boston College
Rutgers
UConn
Maryland
(Basketball only)
Georgetown
Villanova
St. John's
Seton Hall
Providence

They might need to invest in some infrastructure.

A super national football only conference. It would be too pricey for travel for non revenue sports, but great for football.

16 team power conference: 4 pods

Texas
Texas A&M
Oklahoma
Arkansas

Ole Miss
LSU
Alabama
Auburn

Georgia
Florida
Tennessee
South Carolina

Florida St
Clemson
Georgia Tech
Miami

Ill come back and revise this with the permanent opponents in other pods.

But the general gist is UGA plays UF, Ten, and SC, locked in to Auburn and Tech, rotates with the other teams. UF plays FSU and LSU, etc.

That'd be miles better than the Big East that existed when I was a kid

Give me back the old Big East for basketball. They killed some of the best rivalries in the sport.

LSU would never leave the SEC but I agree it does make sense.
