Conf. Realignment for Season 2 of OD?

[rustymuffler]

Thank you Scott! Is the Mountain West and Conference USA merger for football a finalized deal and does that mean they will be a 20 plus team conference with a championship game?

Thank you for the help Scott. I realigned the conferences yesterday for season 2 of my OD. This was perfect for my goal of trying to predict changes based upon the most current ones going forward.

No problem, glad I could help. Would be good if we could have added teams like Texas St, UTSA into the WAC.

So it's not possible to get rid of a conference, but can you move all the independent schools to other conferences and just drop that?

I don't think the independent conference can be deleted either. Someone would need to confirm.

You have to have at least one team remain independent.

And take note that some of Scott's conferences up there do not reflect what the landscape will look like in real life next year.
