Seems to me it's becoming more and more common to dispense with the geographical leanings and look at what revenue a prospective school (football program) could bring to the conference.
I think the days of alignment based on where you're located are gone.

Yes. And I’ll miss it.

Another gem from the Texas State legislature:


Texas state senator Charles Perry, from Lubbock and Texas Tech, invokes Christmas Vacation to UT’s president:

“I feel bad for the SEC. Cousin Eddie's coming home and he don't leave until he’s wrecked the whole house."

I still prefer an 8-team playoff over 4 or 12, so I like the idea of it being made up of the four Superconference Champions plus four at-large bids consisting of the next four highest-ranked teams regardless of conference.

This.

I like 6 Super Conferences and 2 at large...Or 4 wild Card

You want there to be six Super Conferences, or you're saying six teams from four Super Conferences? I don't believe there are enough super teams to make six SC's.

I'd have 6 Conferences and force the rest into FCS.
72 - 96 Teams.

I'd bring back the old SWC...SEC, BIG, PAC, ACC, PSC ( PLAINS STATES)

NO Non- Conference Games...except Exhibition

So to get to six you're elevating the Great Plains Athletic Conference, featuring powerhouses such as Dakota Wesleyan, Briar Cliff and the College of St. Mary, to a super conference? Now hold on a second there, buddy. I thought you said you don't drink??

Or maybe I'm the one who's drunk. I just imagined I saw the Italian team win the men's 4x100m Olympic relay. Hahahahahahaha! As if that could ever happen. And the US team didn't even make the final in this hallucination! Damn, I must be wAstEd!!

GGG:

It's you so I'll let it pass.

So what about schools like UCF, USF, Bowling Green, LA, Notre Dame, East Carolina, Akron, SD...And did I say 6 × 16?

There is almost enough Texas Schools and Florida schools to have their own conferences.

I'm just saying what they have now is a mess.
