A Sea Of Red

Maryland and Rutgers are in negotiations with the Big 10 conference. If this happens the ACC will most likely invite UConn to join to fill the void of Maryland. This leaves holes in the big east who will likely invite some teams out west and possibly some more teams from conference USA, etc. Where does everyone see Liberty in all of this? I'm not really familiar with what other FCS teams are trying to make the jump.

We have 70 pages on this in another area

We have a good shot at the Pac 12 maybe

I'm trying not to... I swear...

But I give johansen a pass of course since he's not here often.

I just hate the shape that college football has become and all this conference shifting...its getting ridiculous.

haha my 100th post had to be something sarcastic.

You are right, I'm not on here that often, but I am trying to become more frequent. Appreciate the free pass fellas. Go Flames

Don't let the razzing bother you. They are referring to this thread. Head to the last couple of pages for the latest info. Or you could settle in for the entire Thanksgiving break and read it post by post.

I was very polite

I was only referring to my constant jokes about realignment which I try my best not to do as much as I once did.

ACC may expand to Oxford....It makes sense. Atlantic Coast Conference....

oxford, UK...

your attempts at backpedaling are fail...

haha i would say the schools name, ole miss...if i meant them and no smart sec team would leave the sec.

If I were John Swofford (ACC Commissioner), I'd be pursuing Vanderbilt. They're a much better fit with the ACC in Basketball and Academics and would be much more competitive in Football. It would take quite a bit persuasion to get them out of the SEC, but Vanderbilt would have won the ACC coastal this year and been a top three team in the Atlantic. I don't think Vanderbilt is a likely ACC add, but I didn't think Notre Dame coming to the ACC without football was likely. There's also a chance that Notre Dame comes to the ACC as a full member after its current TV contract runs out, but I don't think Notre Dame joins a conference until they see a 1 or 2 loss Conference Champion go to the 4 team playoff over a 1 or 2 loss Notre Dame team.

Notre Dame is relevant again and in the mix for a national title. They may lose their #1 ranking, but their television viewership is back. If they leave football independence, it will be kicking and screaming.
