Custom Conference / Realignment

[seanpatin]

Trying to revert back to a bit more balance and looking for some input to maintain the majority of rivalries, geographical sense, and competitiveness.

Any thoughts of who seems misplaced, what “big” rivalries might be negatively impacted, or other changes that I might be overlooking before running this?

You could swap Iowa State with Nebraska. Then you could have the Cy-Hawk (Iowa/Iowa State) and the Colorado/Nebraska rivals in the same conference.

[Zgable]

I always put BYU in the Pac with Utah

[SethMurphy]

I'd have BYU in the Pac12 over Nevada for sure
