Maybe now that Cincy is Power 5 they’ll start playing again. (Probably not.)

Yea. I know about that one. But Cincy had a big rivalry game that they lost too.
I do like the 3 pods of 4 teams or 4 pods of 3 teams as long as the top 2 teams play in the conference championship game. You could have 2 undefeated teams play in the CCG therefore a one loss and a undefeated may have a chance to get in a 12 team playoff.
SEC 4
B1G 2
B12 2
ACC 1
PAC 1
G5 1
ND 1
The one that I saw that made the most sense split the opposite direction. I saw a NE to SW that I liked. It had:
East -
UCF
WVU
Cincy
Iowa St
Baylor
UH
West -
TCU
Tech
OSU
BYU
Kansas
KSU
Which Pearland? There’s 2. (Right now).
NO. Look at the distances UH would have to travel. Only one drivable game in the whole division. Non, non, et non.

Any indication yet on how divisions would break down? I guess there is plenty of time to figure that out if they want.
Swap Iowa State and Oklahoma State and its workable.

I’d bet it all that UH is going to end up in the west (Mountain) division with Texas Tech, OSU, Colorado, BYU, Arizona, Arizona state, and Utah. I wouldnt even be mad, seeing as the astros are already in the west coast market and that has greatly increased their fanship (and rivals).
Then UCF and cinci can stay on the east (coastal) division with TCU, Baylor, Iowa state, Kansas, Kansas state, West Virgina.
Any objections?
We have paved roads and even interstate highways in West Virginia, you will know that, when while driving on one you cant go more than 55 MPH because some dumbass driver from ohio doesnt grasp the purpose for the left lane.

I think that by 2035 the “Big 12” will have absorbed the leftovers of the PAC and ACC, added a handful of high level current G5’s and becomes a league with its own classification and a national championship. It will split into 3 geographically sound “conferences”. The EAST will be WVU, Cincinnati, UCF, Louisville, Pitt, Syracuse, Boston College, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Miami, USF, and one of a school like Temple, East Carolina, or UAB. The MIDWEST “conference” would be Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Kansas, Iowa State, Houston, Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor, BYU, Utah, SMU, and Memphis. And then the WEST “conference” would be Oregon, Washington State, Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon State, Washington, Stanford, Cal, Colorado, San Diego State, Boise State, and Colorado State.

It’s pretty remarkable how, between the Pac-12, Big 12, and ACC, you have a geographically very sensible distribution of four divisions of nine-ish teams. You could even drill further into eight pods of 4 or 5 teams.
That said, it gets big enough we can start talking about fun things like promotion/relegation in scheduling. Each team’s schedule is a combination of geography and performance tier, with the latter affecting conference money distribution.
