Fast Hard Finish
regionally it makes sense but Sun Belt being the 10th of 10 conference and SEC typically 1 or 2 out of 10 doesnt make any sense.Don't know about realignments but I would love to see a third tier in college football and "floating conference members" Group of Five competes for their own national championship but they also compete for a spot at the big boy table. While bottom of the barrel Power 5 teams must compete to keep their spot.
Example with this year: Western Michigan (MAC) trades spots with Rutgers (B1G)
Western Kentucky (CUSA) swaps with Virginia (ACC)
San Diego St (MW) trades with Arizona (PAC)
Temple (AAC) switches with Kansas (B12)
Appalachian St (Sun Belt) switches with Missouri (SEC)
This would of course require college football to be placed into its own little bubble. Obviously schools couldn't be completely lose membership based on a football game. Would make those G5 championship games very exciting and even add a little more zest to those end/middle year matchups between Rutgers and Indiana or Kansas and Iowa State.
Disclaimer: I know this will never happen
I would do AAC/ACC and CUSA/Big 12 because while Western Kentucky for Virginia Makes sense, most of the West division would not. UTEP in the ACC? North Texas? UTSA?
or course thats assuming its a partnership between 2 conferences.
