Can we update the Conferences?

I mean, all of this stuff isn't going into effect for another couple of years, so it's not really a huge deal to have it in the game right now.

It will next year for Utah, Nebraska I think, and possibly Colorado.

this man here is a GENIUS! The only problem will be bowl arrangements though.

+1 I'll be doing this now. I dont really care too much about bowl arrangements.

The proposed division for the Pac-12 so far is North and South....

North
Washington
Washington State
Oregon
Oregon State
Cal
Stanford

South
USC
UCLA
Utah
Colorado
Arizona
Arizona State

Cal and Stanford play both UCLA and USC annually though. There are a couple more arrangements, like 3 divisions if you can believe that, and the zipper style.

East
Washington State
USC
Stanford
Arizona
Oregon
Colorado

West
UCLA
Washington
Cal
Oregon State
Utah
Arizona State

Ok, so if we switch the conferences around...that's great, woo hoo, BUT can we edit and rename them?

What's the point of me moving the Big Ten into the Big XII if I have Ohio State playing in the Big XII...although, technically the two conferences could just switch names since the Big XII only will have 10 teams, etc, lol.

I guess the main issue would be if I put say the Pac Ten into the Big XII...and vice versa...just want it to be somewhat realistic.

I may just switch the Big XII and Big Ten and leave the Pac ten as is, and add the two teams in CU and Utah and drop two weak ones.

I was originally going to swap the big10 and big12 around so that the big 10 would be accurate with the addition of Nebraska while the big12 is close with them having 11 teams (including Colorado).

The biggest problem with this is the bowl affiliations. Not having a big10 team playing in the capital 1 bowl isn't a big deal to me, but having my Michigan squad win the big 10 and not end up in the Rose Bowl would be tough.

I think I'll just Big Ten: Add Nebraska, drop Indiana. Pac Ten: Add Utah and Colorado, drop Washington State and Arizona I guess. Big XII: Drop Colorado and Nebraska, add Notre Dame and Indiana. Mountain West: Drop Utah, add Boise State. WAC: Drop Boise State, add Arizona. Independents: Drop Notre Dame, add Washington State. Sorry Washington State and Arizona but I can only do so much shaking and baking to make this work. Atleast Arizona can become the new Boise and domiante that weak conference lol. Like I said, this is not all realistic...with me adding Notre Dame to the Big XII, with IU, but it is what it is. Is there anyway to change the names of conferences? Like I said, I'd just switch whole conferences around if I can do that...I don't care about bowl matchups being messed up, I just don't wanna see USC as a Big ten team if I move them the Pac ten to the Big ten, etc.

I hear ya jello, plus the names of the conferences will be all messed up. Ill probably just make these changes excapt keep ND as an independent and add TCU to the big 12 instead
