Baylor and Colorado State are more worthy of Power 4 status than Boise State.

Assuming the 3 militar schools stay independent, I wonder what he would do with the other 64ish I-A schools.

I'm guessing this conference alignment idea was specific to football and no consideration was made for the rest of the athletic department. Thats the only way I can make sense of him adding Boise & UCF and getting rid of Baylor Rutgers and Wake. Specific to Baylor, its pretty wild that a school in the national title conversation for football (marginally, but still), Men's BB, and Women's BB, all in the most recent year would be dumped out of the entire power conference alignment.


I legit think the guy who proposed this just forgot about Baylor. If it’s football only, then Baylor is DEFINITELY in. They have 1 losing record this decade, a 1-11 season in the wake of scandal. They also have four 10-win seasons, two conference titles, 3 BCS/NY6 bowl appearances.

Without looking, I’d assume that makes them a top 3 team in the conference over the decade, OU and TCU being better.

If you factor in their hoops (M and W) and baseball programs, it only makes them better. While their baseball team isn’t a powerhouse, they’ve made the tourney 6 times in 10 years, won a regular season and conference tourney title, and advanced to a Super one year.

I mean you wouldn’t have to expand the playoffs if you just had the East Champion play the West champion in every conference and then that team goes to the playoff.

Also I love those conferences. LSU about to rattle off 10 division titles in a row

Great premise but not getting to play Alabama, auburn and Florida would hurt.


Those are our three best games.

The SEC will not drop Mizzou, they're part of the conference and will be until agreements are made. The SEC will not give up control of its conference

I checked his twitter, he's got texas and A&M imagery and doubled down when questioned about Baylor's omission, I think it's fair to say he was trolling Baylor fans as no less than a secondary objective.

Well...the B16 logo actually works better than anything else they have tried...so they will probably be in.
