Conference Re-alignment discussion Topic

I have begun realistically building a layout for real conference re-alignment in HD. Now across this path I've had to make a few tough decisions on teams and am bringing this thread up to help make better decisions everyone will be happy about. Now the preface I will say is that ALL conferences I kept under the guideline of being 12 team conferences. Some teams got bumped into wierd places. So far I have focused ONLY on the big six and here is where I am... I will keep updating this as people provide feedback... ALSO IGNORE THE TOP 25 RANKINGS AS THEY WERE COPY AND PASTED WHEN I MADE MY SPREADSHEET, Thanks!

ACC
#13 UNC
#6 Miami (FL)
Georgia Tech
#23 Duke
Virginia
Virginia Tech
North





South
#1 Boston College
#3 Florida St.
#5 Clemson
#21 N. Carolina St.
Wake Forest
#24 Louisville
I like the ACC as it sits, This has some slight adjustments bringing Louisville, the biggest ACC problem is in Real NCAA it has upwards of 15 teams...

Big 12
#2 Kansas
Notre Dame
W. Virginia
Iowa St.
Kansas St.
Missouri
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Texas Christian
#8 Texas
Oklahoma St.
#22 Texas A&M
Baylor
Oklahoma
The big12 has been the hardest to manipulate because it lost so much and to me became the fallout where some teams didnt fit the only place I could stick them was here in the big12, the biggest example of that is Notre Dame... I dont consider this conference finished at all....

Big East
Butler
Syracuse
Villanova
St. Johns
Seton Hall
Georgetown







Pittsburgh
Providence
Xavier
Marquette
Creighton
DePaul
The Big-East was the first conference I re-aligned and really like the way it sits, I don't feel much else is needed here. Some of the ACC fallout ended here with syracuse and pitt as they just fit here instead... The addition of Marq/Butler/Depaul might make this a really fun conference to be in.
Big 10
#9 Wisconsin
#17 Michigan St.
Michigan
Minnesota
Nebraska
Iowa
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
#10 Penn St.
#19 Illinois
#25 Northwestern
Indiana
Ohio St.
Purdue
The big 10 was pretty hard to choose between Maryland/rut/nebraska... In the end I chose Nebraska because they switched first and shaking up the other 11 would be very hard to do just to add in the 2 other teams.... Nebraska also fits the shape of the big10 where as Rut and Maryland are very far in comparison... 

Pac-10
#4 Oregon St.
Washington
Utah
#11 Colorado
Oregon
Washington St.







#14 Stanford
#15 UCLA
Arizona St.
USC
Arizona
Cal

Not much to change in the Pac-10 because in Real NCAA it is now the Pac-12 so I just adopted the actual 12 teams within the real conference... Real easy, main addition is Colorado now which really adds strength and balance to the Pac-10.
SEC
#12 Kentucky
Tennessee
Georgia
Florida
S. Carolina
Vanderbilt
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
#20 Louisiana St.
#7 Alabama
Arkansas
Auburn
Mississippi
Mississippi St.
The SEC really didn't need anything and really was fairly on point to the real conference. The only team I considered bouncing to help balance was Vandy but opted to keep the conference as is...

Now the real discussion starts... Some BIG teams are missing here Maryland/Rutgers/ Cinncy/UCONN... Looking at the rest of the landscape the Conf-USA is broken and the American Conf where Cinncy and Uconn sit doesn't exist. Now this brings up a big argument. What does everyone think of combining these teams into the new American conf and potentially adding another big time conf to fight with the big6? I'm stuck here.... The only other conf I feel I have finished is the MWC which stands at 
MWC
Texas Tech
Colorado St.
Utah St.
New Mexico
BYU
Denver







UNLV
Fresno St.
Boise St.
San Diego St.
Wyoming
Air Force

I put together a realignment scenario several months ago... feel free to work from it, just give me a tip of the hat at some point. :o)

https://www.whatifsports.com/forums/Posts.aspx?TopicID=483055&TopicsTimeframe=30


In this proposed realignment at the bottom of the linked page above:
There would be 29 Div-1 conferences (up from 27 HD conferences currently).
There would be 348 Div-1 teams (up from 324 HD teams currently).
308 teams would be in their correct real life conference.
40 teams would NOT be in their current, real life conference, though many have historic ties to them (Syracuse and Pitt in Big East, Rutgers in A-10, Notre Dame in the Horizon, Seattle in WCC, Maryland in the ACC, etc)... these teams are shown in CAPS.

1 team would be eliminated from HD Div-1 (Morris Brown).
25 new teams would be added to HD Div-1 (this includes St Mary’s (of the WCC), which wasn't included in the original HD, as well as a number of Div-2 schools that moved up to Div-1 in real life (Incarnate Word, Bryant, etc).
So a net gain of 24 schools in Div-1.

NJIT and UMass-Lowell are not accounted for.
There may be other things that have been overlooked.

Personally I feel like this is never going to really work out but applaud the effort. It's always going to have several weird things going on right?

But my 2 cents is that you can't possibly leave Maryland out of the ACC if you're not including them in the B10. No way Miami, VA tech or especially Louisville should be in over one of the charter members of the conf (I think they were a charter member at least).
9/1/2015 4:43 AM
I agree, benis. Louisville's been in several conferences. Keeping Maryland over Louisville makes sense.

At this point it is too hard to realign without updating prestige and the schedule to fit the different sizes of conferences, I've looked at it a bunch and tried doing it as well with just 12 teams per conf this is what I got:

Thought I had them in the a10 with BC, I'll edit and switch VT with an A10 team since they don't deserve to be dropped that far.

I guess La Salle is the worst team I had left in the A10 I'll switch when I'm not on mobile

Thanks kevo,

Here are some bullet points from that original thread, describing my thought process:

The key I think is because conferences have to stay at 12, just put:
(this was the order they were placed)
Maryland back in the ACC,
Rutgers back to its A-10 roots,
Louisville stays in the American,
Mizzou and aTm return to the Big-12,
Syracuse and Pitt return to the Big East.
Notre Dame goes way back to the Horizon.
The WCC gets Seattle and Denver, which will probably happen anyway.
New Mexico State to the Mountain West,
Then it was basically filling in empty spaces, like the Valley gets Chicago and KC schools...
Those are the main ones.

Possibly make the American a major conference?, since they'd have Louisville, UConn, Cincinnati, Temple and Memphis, plus historic power Houston.
Rutgers gets downgraded a notch to the A-10, which is strong anyway, but Rutgers in real life has been a huge disappointment.
Notre Dame gets downgraded 2 notches to the Horizon, their olympic sports home in their pre-Big East years.

NPB - just a quick note. You may be working off a more up to date list of current D1 teams (and my apologies if you are) but by my accounting you appear to be missing someone. Your numbers reflect 350 D1 teams and last season there were 351 teams (www.kenpom.com or www.sports-reference.com/cbb/ among others). I'm not sure who is missing, and again you may be working off a list updated after the end of last season but If not I wanted to make sure you were aware.
9/1/2015 12:35 PM
Updated mine and moved VT actually to the Big East and Rugters to the A10 and La Salle is down to the CAA.

All the conferences are the same names and have 12 teams each, I didn't attempt to make divisions.

Thanks possum,
Weird, I can't find that missing team yet.    Hopefully it's a team that just moved up from Div-2, and not a big-name school?

Can anyone identify the team?

Hey the0nlyis,

Couple of things.    As a Big East fan, I think the new real life 10-team group should stay together, plus add 2 more logical schools with them.    So I'd hate to see Seton Hall sent to the Horizon, while Va Tech goes back to the Big East.   Historically, Va Tech hoops only spent 4 years in the Big East.   Also, a team like St Bonaventure should probably be kept in the A-10, because they've been there since at least 1980.    Meanwhile, Boston College has never been in the A-10.   Just my two cents.

And really, how can my realignment listing be improved upon.   It's perfect.   Just kidding.

I was trying to also balance in team performance in my decision to drop VT from the ACC to the Big East and dropping Seton Hall to the CAA, so that the ACC could add one of the teams like Notre Dame, and the A-10 I dropped St. Bon was dropped for performance so that VCU could be added.  Boston College wasn't really dropped for performance even though they were on the bad end, I just decided to go with adding Louisville over keeping BC.

My point was try and make sure all the top teams are as close as they can be to their real life conference and drop the worse performing teams from those conferences if there wasn't room.

Yeh it sucks for fans of VT/BC to not be in a big 6 conference, but it sucks more imo for a fan of Louisville or VCU for their better performing real life team be relageted to either crap status or in the wrong conference.  Yes I assume a lot fo Louisville fans are still very positive about being in the Big East and like those rivalries, but I went with what it actually is now.

I just had chick-fil-a I'm too full to steal any popcorn.
