Super Conferences

So all the buzz around college football (other than Miami's illegal receipt of cash, hookers, steaks, abortions, suits, bling and more cash) has been conference realignment. I think we are headed to 4 super-conferences with 16 teams in each and here are my predictions of how it plays out:

Pac 16:
1. Washington
2. Washington St.
3. Oregon
4. Oregon St.
5. Stanford
6. Cal
7. UCLA
8. USC
9. Arizona
10. Arizona St.
11. Utah
12. Colorado
13. Texas
14. Oklahoma
15. Oklahoma St.
16. Texas Tech

SEC:
1. Arkansas
2. Mississippi St.
3. Mississippi
4. Alabama
5. Auburn
6. Tennessee
7. Georgia
8. Florida
9. South Carolina
10. Vanderbilt
11. Kentucky
12. LSU
13. Texas A&M
14. Florida St.
15. Miami
16. Clemson

BIG TEN:
1. Wisconsin
2. Illinois
3. Indiana
4. Ohio State
5. Penn State
6. Purdue
7. Michigan State
8. Iowa
9. Michigan
10. Minnesota
11. Nebraska
12. Northwestern
13. Missouri
14. Rutgers
15. Pittsburgh
16. Notre Dame

ACC:
1. Boston College
2. South Florida
3. Louisville
4. Maryland
5. North Carolina St.
6. Wake Forest
7. Georgia Tech
8. Duke
9. West Virginia
10. North Carolina
11. Virginia
12. Virginia Tech
13. Connecticut
14. TCU
15. Kansas
16. Syracuse

With the contraction of the Big 12 the biggest losers of realignment will be Baylor, Kansas St., Cincinatti, BYU, Boise St., Iowa St., Houston and Air Force, but I don't see where they can fit in.

If I were the Mtn. West I think I would go to 16 teams to try and compete and try to obtain some sort of chance to get a team into the inevitable playoff. I would probably go with:

1. Boise St.
2. Tulsa
3. Colorado St.
4. Air Force
5. San Diego St.
6. Fresno St.
7. Hawaii
8. New Mexico
9. Baylor
10. Kansas St.
11. Iowa St.
12. Cincinatti
13. Houston
14. BYU
15. UNLV
16. Nevada
