Since the Catholic 7 would be a group that's been playing in a conference together of more then 5 teams in the same conference, they would retain their automatic bid, even if they dissolved the Big East. What I see happening - they dissolve the Big East (since they are 7 out of 10 full voting...

Fresno State, San Diego State, Nevada, and New Mexico, of course.

The closest location is probably the one in Huntsville... the Huntsville alumni watch the games at Charley's Wing Shak in Madison, AL. The location is on County Line Road. http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/168/1613075/restaurant/Huntsville/Charleys-Wing-Shak-Madison I'm in Huntsville, but too far...

What I really like about a potential ND-Texas addition is the potential death of Legends and Leaders. With the addition of Texas as an anchor in the West, it's very possible to have this alignment: Big Ten East: Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame Big...

Aggie Yell has their front page saying "So Long, Big XII..." So, something's going down, or they got hacked. http://tamu.rivals.com/

BTW, this also shows how balanced the top of the conference would be in a purely geographic sense. Penn State has only the #4 record in the Big Ten in the past 10 years, and is easily balanced out by Iowa and Wisconsin.

OK, I'm going to get scientific on this now. I'll use conference records only because of eliminating the Glen Mason factor (scheduling 4 patsies to boost total winning percentage). If we break down the conference by conference record (Big XII for Nebraska, Big Ten for all others) over the past...

See, the way I see it is that you'd do geographic balance (which isn't too far off in competitive, as you'd have Ohio State - Michigan - Penn State fighting for the East, and Nebraska - Iowa - Wisconsin fighting for the West) and then if Texas and Notre Dame are added, you'd put Texas in the...

I would think not... since the Pac-10 already plays a 9-game conference schedule (and fortuitously, Colorado/Utah as well as Colorado/Cal are already scheduled to play each other in future years), they can afford to do a 5+2+2 schedule- 5 permanent divisional matchups, 2 protected...

In other news... Utah has been invited to the Pac-10. Will be in South division. Presser tomorrow at 1 PM MDT. Pac-10 invites Utah; source says Utes to accept - ESPN Pac-10 North: Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, Cal, Stanford Pac-10 South: USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona...

While splitting up the conference into divisions matters, I think that we also have to look into scheduling issues. Does the new Big Ten adopt the Big XII schedule (5 division games + 3 home-and-home other division games) or does it adopt the SEC schedule (5 division games + 2 home-and-home...

When I moved down to Alabama four years ago, I was surprised to see how many PPV games that SEC schools have as well. Alabama will play games on PPV every year (generally against Joe Blow FCS school) and charge $30 a pop. And people will buy it. These types of games would never be on PPV in...

The Texas fans that I met that were at the game in '05 were pretty nice to us. Then again, I was in a conspicuous uniform the entire time and pretty much had to be nice. I was swearing up a storm on the way home, though... gave the entire "good game" speech to everyone and then wondered what...

If Nebraska joins before ND, then we'll be pushing hard for Texas and A&M, and they'd both get invites, and let them decide whether to go Pac-16 or Big 10. The ONLY way that the Big 10 stops at 12 is if Notre Dame joins the conference. Otherwise, we're looking at 16. If the Big 10 can pull...

Hopefully Ohio State gets another Iggy boy. Those have worked out pretty well in the past at tOSU... LeCharles Bentley and Anthony Gonzalez come to mind, as well as other good core players throughout the years.

This injury has taken DA from a first and third rounder last year to a fifth this year. I don't think we'll get any more for him, and he's too expensive to keep. Hell, we may even have to cut him. All I can hope for is that the Browns fire RAC, ditch DA, and draft either Malaluga, Laurinitis...

You know, I really don't have a problem with this. I have a very strong attachment to Ohio State, but I'd expect other alums have a certain attachment to their own institutions. I know that Braylon Edwards will always root for Michigan. I know that Kellen Winslow will root for Miami in...

As odd as it feels to talk about it, the Brownies are most likely going to the playoffs this season. I wanted to gauge other people's opinions on which seeding they think the Browns would get and the opening round playoff game. Also, which seeding do you thing that the Browns would best be...

Yeah, that wasn't the best idea. The thing is... that show got amazing responses from the crowd at the Michigan game that year, and since it was a band favorite, it was voted (the band votes for the bowl show) as what we were going to play. In years past, the final show was Star Wars (classic...

11-2 if the refs count the forceout, Dawson hits the FG against the Raiders and Dawson hits the FG against the Steelers and win in overtime... In all reality, this is far better then what I expected... if we beat Buffalo, we'll be nearly guaranteed a wildcard berth.
