My Custom Conferences - Geographic Base

Re: My Custom Conferences - Geographic Base

Well, it's different. I'll give you that. My complaint is that it destroys a lot of existing rivalries (LSU/Bama, Auburn/Bama, OU/Texas). The damage to SEC rivalries is huge.

But, as Bob Ross would say, it's your world. How you set it up is entirely up to you.

I've messed with the conferences myself, but what I did was put them back to the way they were years ago. Colorado, Nebraska, and Mizzou back in the Big12. Rutgers, Penn State, Maryland out of the Big10. Texas A/M out of the SEC. I miss the ol' days of Nebraska/OU football in the Big 8.

Re: My Custom Conferences - Geographic Base

You can do it geographically well enough, but you have to trim the fat off of D-I football. Drop the borderline programs and tighten it up the conferences. I'm of the opinion every team in every conference needs to play each other every year.

Re: My Custom Conferences - Geographic Base

BlueBelly - I understand Hawaii being moved to the PAC 12 by WTF did you put the NORTH ?? That makes no sense

Unless you PROTECT them as I do

I've done this with Mizzou & Nebraska nut the others either remain the same or have been reassigned to the conferences as indicated above

Re: My Custom Conferences - Geographic Base

bluebelly83 - You have Virginia Tech and Virginia listed in two different conferences.

I arranged mine somewhat geographically, but I didn't put more than 10 in any conference except for one and they have two 8 team divisions. Pretty cool with no conference championship games and everyone playing everyone during the regular season.

Sorry about that. They are in the Big East, not the ACC. Thanks for catching that.
