Alright gentlemen, I have advanced to the next stage...conference realignment. I made a few changes that have come into play in real life. They are as follows:
I created an "East" and "West" division in the Big East with a championship game being held at Heinz Field. I added the following teams per real life moves:
1. Central Florida
2. Cincinnati
3. UConn
4. Louisville
5. South Florida
6. Boise State
7. Houston
8. Memphis
9. San Diego State
10. SMU
11. Temple
12. UMass (not a real move, but they were in the MAC. What's up with that? Plus, I needed a team since Rutgers is leaving to balance the number.)
Big Ten:
1. Maryland
2. Rutgers
Now, this leaves me with two spots in the Big 12 to once again get it back to 12 teams (I'm kinda OCD like that). I did have SMU and Houston in there, but they got stolen by the Big East. I would like to move Rice in there (Texas team, makes sense), and I would love to extend an invite to Tulsa since it also makes great geographical sense and would be AWESOME (Odywon, me and Alamo in the same conference). But, I wanted to ask you first Alamo...what say ye!?"
Please let me know and I will get this part wrapped up and we'll be on to next season. Thanks!
