Conf. Realignment for Season 2 of OD?

[rustymuffler]

In 2013 the Big East will have SDSU, Boise St and other schools. Those following the real life changes will make this change after season 2 in your OD. Does anyone know if they will have divisions and a conf champ game?

Also, the current BCS conference alignment is up in 2013 so there may be changes to automatic bids. The Big East is adding these teams with the hope that they will keep their BCS tie-in. Nothing is locked in though so you can decide if you feel they'll be able to keep it or not. I may take it away from them since I'm going to slowly progress towards 4 super conferences just like many head coaches and ADs predict will occur at some point. The goal is to leave the NCAA and supervise from the conference level. Sadly we don't have that much detailed control in this game. I'd love to set up a superconference that allows schools to pay for players and have another that doesn't, also vary rules such as recruiting violations based upon the conference.

Have there been other conference changes for 2012 and beyond since Scott's posts?

The Big East situation depends on what they decide to do about Pitt, Syracuse and West Virginia. If they let them leave early, they will have 13 schools for the year before dropping back down to 10. Navy and Either Air Force or Temple won't be joining for a few more years due to scheduling conflicts.

Scott has changes in place that aren't currently happening in real life.

The Big 12 will only have 10 teams...BYU and Louisville aren't going anywhere.

Navy, Temple and ECU are not joining the Big East. Temple and Navy might down the road. (Temple if Air Force does not).

The MAC will continue on as is.

The MW will only have 7 teams since TCU, Boise St. and SDSU are leaving.

C-USA will have 9 teams with Houston, SMU and UCF going Big East.

The WAC will only have 5 teams since you can't add in the teams that are joining D1.

Nothing is changing with the Sun Belt.

Divisional alignments for the ACC have yet to be determined.
