Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

Wow someone got their feelings hurt. You ok?
It’s funny fans like you who can’t be a rationale or objective fan yet scream at the top of your lungs when the team or conference you cheer for gets “slighted”. To suggest the SEC is not the best hands down is just as idiotic as anyone who says the Big 12 in hoops isn’t clearly the best.
I love the whole remove Bama and Georgia thing. Ok so then do it for every other conference. The Big 12 sucks removing OU and I guess Oklahoma State or Baylor? The Big Ten is a walking joke without Ohio State and Michigan. The ACC do I even have to make that case especially since Clemson has come back down to Earth a bit. And the PAC-12…USC is leaving and they have been trash for some time aside from a year here and there and I guess Utah or Oregon would be the others and Utah can’t seem to win the Rose Bowl after winning that crap conference that is the PAC-12.
Meanwhile you take away Bama and Georgia and I do believe LSU just won the national championship just a few seasons ago. They have teams that dip in and out but you can’t say a conference is always top heavy when they’ve had multiple schools rise up to go along with Georgia and Bama in the last 15-20 years. Top heavy is OU and Ohio State winning the conference on repeat for many years.

Great USC is one team from that conference.
Ohio State is one team from that conference
I mean the ACC with Clemson and Florida State so good on them. That is a prime example of top-heavy.
Texas has one for the Big 12 unless you take it back to OU too to get them in there but oh wait those two schools are headed to that “overrated” conference.
What do you think it means? Because then going by you I will say the Big 12 is overrated in hoops (it’s not) because we have KU and Baylor with championships in this great decade window and KU is the equivalent of a Bama or Georgia in football so according to you they don’t count. That leaves Baylor. Let’s toss in the OU and Tech Final Fours just so I can help your case. Well that leaves massive brand and athletic department Texas with nothing to show for despite having some serious talent in the last 15-20 years. Us who can make a Sweet 16 here and there but not Elite 8s (we can include our 2000 one if you want to so it helps you) or Final Fours. Kansas State no Final Fours but a couple of runs in there, Oklahoma State nothing for a long time, etc. We should have half the conference to make a Final Four in the last decade if we are soooo far and away the best.
And you have officially lost the argument since you drop to insults. Move along so I can talk to someone who actually wants to discuss sports.
You clearly do judging by your first grade insults. And yeah I like ESPN and any other company who wants to pay our conference big money so I can watch every Cyclone football game. That sucks. Don’t care in the end what they tried to do to the Big 12 because it was going to happen in this arms race anyway between the Big Ten, ESPN, Fox or the SEC.
They didn’t have to come back with this great deal we have moving forward but ESPN did and we aren’t relegated to G5 levels like so many were sure we would be.
Ha, you are an insecure pud. You just dumbed all my posts. CF is serious business for you.
Not all the posts. Just the dumb ones. Can’t help there are a lot of them. It was not the Urban Meyer Utah team and if you didn’t know that yikes.
I did win a lot of things in my life so far so I feel like a champ most days. Bring your self esteem up and try being positive. May help you out.
@FriendlySpartan Anytime you want to actually have a rational conversation about this stuff I would love that. Someone who is objective about their own conference and college sports is refreshing.
Hahaha feel free to message me. I’ve had plenty of time bashing the SEC love affair and while it is often overstated, you can’t argue the results. Was just kinda stunned to hear the take that the big 12 is close to the SEC. No one is close to the SEC and the Big12 has a massive recruiting problem that makes the difference even more obvious. TCU could certainly keep the momentum going but there is still a massive talent gap they need to fix to keep pace. I really really hope that TCU can keep their coach because I think the playoffs are better with different teams.
OH BROTHER, another thread I was enjoying until a derailment by petty argument. Not surprised, just disappointed.
Yep to everything you said. I do not like the SEC and the nauseating talking about them all year from a football standpoint, but I try and be objective and between the national titles, CFP/BCS appearances and wins coupled with the recruiting and draft picks it’s just not a debate. You have to knock them off the pedestal by beating them in the biggest games. And aside from Clemson for about 5 years nobody else can do it in the CFP enough to crack that armor. Instead we (the Big 12) send OU to get bludgeoned every time or TCU who did the Big 12 proud by beating the Big Ten champ and winning a CFP game but when they got the opportunity to unseat the SEC they didn’t just lose, they did it in record-breaking fashion.
I just laugh because if what the SEC has done (top heavy or not, depending how you see it) any other conference would be touting the same thing that the SEC and media do right now. It’s just not being honest with yourself.
My actual apologies. The thread did get derailed. Should have gone the DM route.
Ok back on track to this realignment stuff. I really am intrigued to see who cracks first in the PAC-12. Kliavkoff has to come up with the goods ASAP or one of those schools will pull the trigger. You get the feeling it’s only a matter of time now.
Great point. It seems like the Big12 wants to add teams quickly with OUT out. I’m assuming teams will be added before the next season (just an announcement not joining) but anyone think it will be in the next couple weeks/months?
