For human teams, this is where they will be:

Rice moves up from MWC to Big 12
Indiana moves up from MAC to MWC
Duke moves up from C-USA to ACC
USC moves from Big 12 over to PAC (due to their Western pod)
Buffalo stays in MAC
South Florida stays on same tier, but now is in ACC (due to their Southeast pod)

Revisiting this.. I miss this league more and more every day. Modern NCAA games just don't have the same feel or anything close to it. NCAA 14 was incredible and our games against each other were some of the most tense and hard fought games I have ever played with anyone online.

They were great fun for sure. In the years that have intervened, my stick skills have really slipped. Still trying to get myself back to some level of competence in the current game. I throw a lot of interceptions.
