Conference realignment "Rumors" "tweets" "etc"

[Mike Stuben]

I don't think there is P5 any more. 

I think there is a Power 2, the next best league still way behind the P2, is the ACC. The Big 12 is clearly the 4th best league (speaking of the Big 12 after Texas and Oklahoma leave). 

That hypothetical 20 team AAC is the 5th best league.

An embarrassing collection of Fau,

Didn't they just do well in the NCAA tournament and hire a first rate football coach? No more embarrassing than USF. One could argue less so actually.

I don’t think that conference gets P5 status. Maybe if we didn’t lose SMU, Cincy, UCF, Houston AND we had WSU, OSU, SDSU, Fresno, CSU, Boise, UNLV, Nevada.

I don’t get it. So who gets the P5 status now?? AAC already has the P6 status. I would think they move up one after they raid MWC

P5 - P1 = P4 not P*5

There will be the top 6 rated conferences that get the 6 playoff spots with the other 6 going to at large starting in 2024. We shall see how long that last before it gets destroyed like college football

The same will happen to it that happened to the 6 bcs conferences. They'll just drop the number again and it'll be power 4.

 

In reality it's a power 2, a middle 2 and a flaming dumpster.

If Aresco can have P6 logos on the AAC helmets then there is no reason he can’t change those to P5 logos. Yes it is funny because it makes a mockery of how college football got ruined

And I’m being honest, I won’t be watching the P2. I stopped watching their BS years ago. So maybe it is time for college football to shut it all down

It's not a flaming dumpster. 

The new AAC will be better than the old AAC, in my opinion, when you evaluate it on the top. (yes, I'd like to kick a few off the bottom)

If all the constant teams are ignored. 

Loss: UCF, Houston, Cincinnati, SMU (assuming this happans)

Gain: Oregon State, Washington State, San Diego State, UTSA, FAU, Fresno State, Rice + more MWC schools. 

I will argue that was a positive change in pure terms of quality of football / basketball

I agree that losing ucf, Cincy, Houston and smu and replacing with Oregon state, Washington state, sdsu, Fresno would have been an improvement. The issue are those other schools you listed. We are lowering the value of our university by associating it with North Texas, Fau, Charlotte etc.
