re: What do Northwestern and Vandy have in common?

Gotta admit, I like Rockets a lot more now than I used to.

Was wondering where he was at.

thread doesnt mention ND,, maybe he not seeing any reason to look

PAC 10 would seek to expand ( utah and BYU my guess or MAYBE Colorado

They've already said they don't want to because the media markets that are readily avalible (Boise and Salt Lake City) aren't big enough. Kind of sucks because adding two teams would be good for the conference as a whole

yeah,, BUT

if the big 10 expands and ads a conference championship game ,,which would be inevitable. I think the PAC 10 would be "forced" to follow
after all when all is said and done its about $$$$

no one can predict what will happen and when,, but you can predict $$$ will be THE factor in what happens and when.

And that why I included Colorado as a maybe( Denver)

then the Big 12 would grab TCU

as for who the PAC -10 12 would grab,, I didn't include Boise because small media and BYU /Utah are obvious and I bet the State Gov would demand the BOTH go.

Big East doesn't have a conference championship game for football don't forget either.

I don't know if there are enough good teams left for the Big East to get to 12 if ND goes to the Big10

truthfully IMO big east is a non factor in college football,

SEC, BIG 12,PAC 10,BIG 10, even ACC are better top to bottom,, but regardless if ND makes the move to the big 10 and the PAC 10 expands and add conference championship games,, the bug would follow

Again after all is said and done its about the $$$$$$

the conference championships games MIGHT put the wrong team in the BCS bowl,,but they make $$ and don't change the $$$ made from the BSC bowl

Agreed. Plus one of the reasons no one was at the ACC title game was why would people from BC and VT want to drive to fricking northern Florida? At least if the game was in Charlotte people could have traveled.

That conference is hurting right now to be sure. Once DickRod left WVU and Petrino left Louisville it all fell apart...and I don't see it getting better TBH.

right,, which gets us to another topic a WAYYYY off the OP thread


I think we all agree the SEC,BIG12,Pac 10(12),Big 10,11(12) and ACC would be legit IF and after expansion comparable to what Ive mentioned previously.


the big east?? not so much. Meanwhile some decent programs out WEST will need somewhere to go

TCU, BOISE St. UTAH, BYU,Fresno St. ( any of those not gobbled up by expansion/realighnment)

you cant have a conference that goes from West Virginia to Fresno,, to build a 6th legit BCS conference

so what to do?

JUST drop the big east and add a extra at large is the easiest,, but improbable when you consider some heavy hitters in the big east.

I think it would be interesting if you had the big 5. Then 2 at large picks that would be required to come from the remaining Big east Mountain West, C-USA,MAC, etc conferences.
say the two top Ranked from those conferences.

Then the remaining at large teams to come from wherever,similar to what it is now.

and of course if all this did happen ( not holding my breath) they would be an additional BCS game ( as has been discussed) prolly the Cotton Bowl played at jerry's new digs.

IF that occurred then there would be room for 10 teams meaning the BIG BCS conferences dont lose any representation.

the conferences will choose to have a conference championship game because of the $$$. and if a top 4 ranked team loses in that game,, then there is still room for them in a BCS game.

until the playoffs of course
