UCLA, USC, Oregon, and Washington are half a country away from most of the B1G. At least the SEC teams all border conference share a border with at least one of their rivals. There needs to be some talk about regionally or semi- regional alignment for conferences.  It seems the SEC is the onlky conference that actually cares about regional rivalries with border surrounding border states. The rest of the power conferences have multiple teams on islands from rest of the conference. If the ACC or Big12 add Tulane and Memphis they could have
