RE: 3 Conferences of 20 Schools Each With the PAC Being Divided by the B12 & B10:
The XII becomes the hodge podge power conference. The Cali-4 market themselves as a package deal. Notre Dame remains independent. A tweener AAC with 24 schools emerges.
I would go divisionless with 3-5 permanent rivals:
B1G
California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan St, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Ohio St, Oregon, Penn St, Purdue, Rutgers, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Washington, Wisconsin
SEC
Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Clemson, Duke, Florida, Florida St, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi St, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Virginia
XII
Arizona, Arizona St, Baylor, Boston College, Colorado, Iowa St, Kansas, Kansas St, Miami, North Carolina St, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech, Utah, Virginia Tech, West Virginia
AAC
Air Force, Army, Boise St, BYU, Central Florida, Cincinnati, Colorado St, Connecticut, East Carolina, Houston, Louisville, Memphis, Navy, New Mexico, Oregon St, San Diego St, SMU, South Florida, Temple, Tulane, Tulsa, UNLV, Wake Forest, Washington St
