I figure this will be an interesting experiment.

Simply list who you root for and who you'd like see them play, in order. This should be interesting to see who is off their rocker and what has been lost in realignment so far.

To keep the thread compact, don't go entering everything on a new line, just put it all on one line with commas like so:

Georgia Tech: U(sic)GA, Clemson, Auburn, Duke, Tennessee, Florida State, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Tulane

USC Upstate: Wofford, Furman, Winthrop, UNC-A, UNC-C, Kennesaw State, CofC, Radford, ETSU, UNC-W, Campbell

Root for: Georgia Southern

Want to see: GT*, UGA*, Tennessee, Clemson*, South Carolina, UF*, FSU, Miami, Alabama*, Auburn*, Ole Miss*

Realistically: Ga State*, App State*, MTSU, Marshall, ODU, WKU, Ark State*, ULL*, Southern Miss, Troy*, UAB

* = have recently played or will play

South Carolina. Organized into tiers

Clemson
Georgia
Florida
Tennessee
Vandy/Missouri/Kentucky
Pretty much all West teams are interchangeable

ACC Powers (FSU/VT/GT)
Big 12 Powers (UT/WVU/Ok/OK State, others)
ECU
Regional ACC schools

Contrary to perception I don’t really have any desire to play the N.C. ACC schools, particularly when it’s in Charlotte. This is shared among many younger alumni and I thinks it’s a reason you would never see any interest in rejoining the ACC

Auburn: 1.Alabama, 2. Georgia, 3. Georgia Tech, 4. Florida, 5. Tennessee, 6. Clemson, 7. L.S.U., 8. Mississippi State, 9. Florida State, 10. Texas A&M, 11. South Carolina, 12. Tulane (they were in the conference until the mid 60's and they hold a winning record over us that needs to be rectified and they would be a better rest game on the schedule than Vanderbilt).

ODU: Pretty content with our current OOC football schedules but would like to play UVA and VT in basketball

NIU FB
Northwestern, Illinois, Toledo, Marshall, Iowa, CMU, Bowling Green, Wisconsin, Purdue, Iowa State, Nebraska, Miami, WMU, EMU, Ball St, Ohio, Kent St, Akron

NIU BB (wish we were in MVC)
ISU, Loyola, DePaul, Illinois, Northwestern, Bradley, SIU, UNI, UIC, Green Bay, WIU, EIU, Milwaukee

Chicago State
All in-state schools
12-team Horizon League (renamed MCC) with UWGB, UWM, UIC, IUPUI, Fort Wayne, Detroit Mercy, Oakland, Cleveland St, Youngstown, Wright St, NKU

Clemson: South Carolina, Georgia, Georgia Tech, FSU, Auburn, Miami, Virginia Tech, Tennessee. Alabama

Boise St: Washington, Oregon, Washington St, Oregon St, Utah, BYU, USC, UCLA, Stanford, California, Arizona, Arizona St

Limited to 12 opponents. I wouldn't necessarily equate wanting to play someone with "being off the rocker" - if that was the intended equivalence. Every schools wants to be a power school, except for perhaps the Ivy League institutions or service academies. If the prompt were more about being realistic then lists for non-power schools would likely change dramatically.

NC State: Me personally - UNC, Duke, VT, UVa, Penn State, Notre Dame, Navy, GT, Ohio State, Georgia, Miami, and Tulane


NC State: Institutionally - UNC, Duke, WF, UVa, VT, GT, FSU, Penn State, Clemson, South Carolina, ECU, and a direction NC school to ensure a 7th home game.

ECU: NC State, UNC, Virginia Tech, South Carolina, West Virginia, Clemson, Duke, UVA

Ole Miss: Alabama, LSU, Georgia, MSU, Tennessee, Florida, Texas, Michigan

Georgetown: Syracuse, Nova, St. John's, UNC, Duke, Kentucky, UCLA, Indiana

Auburn: I want to go back to doing home and home games. I love going to other college towns, not just Atlanta every other season. Basketball, I want Auburn playing blue bloods every season...even if it means setting up a 2 for 1 with Duke.
UAB: Football, would love for them to have a consistent rotation of home and home series set up with AAC programs. Basketball, I would love home and home against every other mid major with brand recognition. SDSU, GCU, NMSU, St. Mary's, UNLV, UNM, Mercer, Murray State, Charleston, FGCU, etc. etc.

Iowa:
Every year: Wisc, Minn, ISU, ILL, Mich, Oh St, Mich St, PennSt
Every other year: Notre Dame, Neb, Mizzou, Kan, KanSt, Pur, Ok, Tex

NIU Football

OOC
A) Illinois, Northwestern, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
B) Illinois State, Eastern Illinois, Western Illinois, Southern Illinois
C) Other BigTen, some Big 12, maybe Mountain West
D) Whatever, just not FCS. Unless it's NDSU or James Madison

MAC
1. Toledo, BGSU, WMU, CMU
2. Buffalo, Miami, Ohio
3. Ball State, Akron, EMU, Kent

Rice: Texas, aTm, LSU, Houston, Texas Tech, Arkansas, SMU, TCU, other national privates, service academies

Although it won't happen, I'd be good with a regional 12 game schedule of mostly Texas programs.

North Texas: Rice, UTEP, UTSA, Houston, Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Texas A&M, Texas, and Oklahoma

UC Santa Barbara: UNLV, Fresno State, USD (San Diego), NMSU, Washington, Memphis, Akron, FGCU.

New coach, new recruiting philosophy. A series with Memphis would be fun. We should be playing UNLV at least three times a decade.

Root for: Western Michigan


OOC: Minnesota(Pummel fleck), UCF, Boise St, Iowa st

Conf: Toledo, CMU, NIU, Ohio, Buffalo, Miami, BGSU

Syracuse- Miami, BC, VT, Pitt, Penn State, Louisville, FSU, Cincy, ND, Uconn, Army, Cornell

Basketball_ Georgetown, Uconn, Nova, St Johns, Duke, UNC, Miami, Virginia, Louisville, Cincy

Cant believe I forgot about Rutgers both in fb and bb

Houston: Georgia tech...

UA: 1) Tennessee, 2) Auburn, 3) LSU, 4) Florida, 5) Georgia, 6) Ole Miss, 7) Arkansas, 8) Miss State, 9) South Carolina, 10) FSU

I should point out that being from Louisiana I could easily trade number 1 and 3.
