FBS Conference realignment

With all the talk about adding teams to the Big1T1en, I thought maybe the best thing to do would be to realign all the conferences. My criteria was create ten twelve team conferences. Based geographically. This would result in 16 team tournament with the conference champions and 6 at large teams.

Here is my first attempt at the 10 conferences:

  1. M played 7 teams in the Great Lakes conference last year and went 4-3. That's better than they did in the Big T1e1n. So, I'm all for this change.

  2. I've been meaning to use the CFRC comparison to determine the relative strengths of the conferences. Just haven't had time.
