Ggippo, looks like your SEC might not be the dominant conference in college football anymore.

Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, OK St., USC, Oregon, UCLA, Oregon St., Cal, Washington, Arizona and Stanford in the same conference?!?

Just Wow.

Why did they all change conferences so suddenly?? I dont understand this.

Don't think it matters, Alabama, Florida, LSU, Georgia, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Auburn still trump USC, Oregon, Texas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. SEC could be expanding and they would be picking from Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, Virginia Tech, Clemson, West Virginia, Texas AM, and maybe Missouri.

Because the Big Ten wants Notre Dame and they are threatening to destroy the Big East if they don't get them.

How does this whole conference thing work?

Like whats the difference between playing in the Pac 10 or the SEC or the Big 12 or wahtever

The difference is money and revenue sharing. Every school has a TV market. The bigger the TV market the bigger the advertising revenue. The bigger the game the bigger advertising revenue. The more schools in a conference the more markets are covered.

What the Pac 10 will do is split up into two divisions. They will expect two BCS bids for each division winner. The 12 team conferences have big money conference championship games. The Big 10 can now have a conference championship game and will hold off adding four more teams till they see what Notre Dame does.

IMO there will be five 16 team conferences with 10 division winners being seeded into 5 BCS games and then a plus one national championship.

Could look something like this

USC / Texas
Oregon / Oklahoma
Oregon St / Oklahoma St
Stanford / Arizona
Cal / Arizona St.
UCLA / Colorado
Washington / Texas AM
Wash St / Texas Tech

Iowa / Ohio St
Wisconsin / Michigan
Nebraska / Notre Dame
Purdue / Penn St
Illinois / Michigan St
Minnesota / Rutgers
Indiana / Syracuse
Northwestern / Boston College

Florida / Alabama
Georgia / LSU
Tennessee / Misssissippi
Florida St / West Virginia
Georgia Tech / Arkansas
Kentucky / Auburn
South Carolina / Missouri
Vanderbilt / Misssissippi St

Clemson / Virginia Tech
Cincinnati / Miami
Pittsburgh / North Carolina
Wake Forest / Uconn
NC State / USF
Maryland / Virginia
Louisville / Duke
Memphis / UCF

Kansas / Boise St
TCU / BYU
Kansas St / Utah
Houston / Nevada
Air Force / Wyoming
Iowa St / San Diego St
Baylor / Colorado St
New Mexico / UNLV

Tech sucks, OSU sucks, USC will suck, Oregon is ok, Oregon St sucks, Washington is beyond suck, Arizona is average and so is Stanford....what's your point?

They have consistently been ranked the last few years...Not sure where all the hate is coming from?
