In 2024, rumors of conference realignment has once again been re-emerged. The rumors; FSU and Clemson are in talks with the BIG 12 about joining the conference.
I want the north east to get a real football conference. This won’t happen ever but Penn State, Pitt, West Virginia, Louisville, Maryland, Syracuse, Rutgers, Cincinnati, Boston College, Temple, and UCONN in a conference would be great
Aaron - How about Cincinnati and Maryland? They're not northeast either. Louisville was just in a northeastern conference for 8 years before the ACC...the Big East. Its happened before.
Pitt football hasn’t done really anything since joining the big east and ACC besides some Decent seasons and a co title with 3 other teams in 2004 and a division title with 5 losses in the ACC but they really haven’t won a conference title. Pitt was better as an independent. However Pitt was trying to be more of a basketball school and got even worse under AD Scott pederson and almost ruined their identity in the late 90s with logo and color Changes and moving out of pitt stadium to Heniz when all they needed was a renovation to Pitt Stadium.
Man, the ACC was the biggest winner by far in this realignment. In less than 20 years, they added Miami, Virginia Tech, Boston College, Pitt and Syracuse (in addition to Florida State in the early 90s). The Pac-12 was a big winner as well (getting Colorado and especially Utah).
The Southwest Conference was the greatest College Football conference in history. They should honestly bring it back and expand it. It had such a rich history and great rivalry traditions that have now gone dormant. The late 20s all the way until 1980 was definitely the golden age of the conference. Honestly it was in the 80s when the conference started to fall apart with the whole SMU situation and then in 1991 Arkansas announcing it would be leaving the conference for the SEC it was the beginning of the end of one of the greatest conferences in all of College Football. I really miss the days of the Southwest Conference.
@@dr.deathstevewilliamsou7678 What? National Champions after 1969: Texas Longhorns: 1970 SMU Mustangs: 1981, 1982 Yes these titles are shared titles, but many championship schools have at least 1 shared title. It also shows how competitive the conference was compared to others. SWC schools on multiple occasions would have 3 or 4 ranked teams and many SWC teams that were #1. Were knocked out of that spot by a team within their own conference. Also there were no top power schools every school at some point was a power school in the SWC. Every school in the SWC won the conference at least once. There are some conferences now a days where schools haven't even won a conference title within the conference they now call home. Which meant most SWC games had you on the edge of your seat. Those were some great times and some great games.
Man_of_Tomorrow I know some teams in the current day SEC still haven’t won a title yet the longest program drought is Vanderbilt with none at all. I know the SEC is hyped up as the best but only have 5 good and historical programs. SWC was more competitive overall in their history than the SEC had been historically.
I've been around a long time and what I remember about the SWC is the 1980's when they were considered the conference most likely to cheat. All the cheating is what doomed the SWC! It was not just SMU, every school in the SWC except for Rice was accused of cheating in the 1980's and most were given probation.

Solid presentation. This helps because I like to track the history of college football to make sense of future college football realignment. Let me hit this subscribe button, 🔥
Florida State turned down the SEC for the ACC while Auburn wants to end a eight years remaining on a Ten Year contract after the 1990 before 1991 season.
I think conferences should be put together better geographically. Like Texas A&M and Missouri should not be in the SEC, and West Virigina should not be in the Big 12. I could go on but it would be to much to type.
That would be nice, but money dictates expansion and what you're seeing from the power 5 is a pattern that chases media markets to strengthen the conference's ability to negotiate lucrative tv contracts. Fortunately within the next 20 or 30 years (possibly sooner) those markets are going to become largely irrelevant.
I disagree on A&M they’ve proven they can compete at the SEC level and have the fan support to call themselves an SEC school same with West Virginia, I’m surprised the SEC didn’t chose them
Honestly, the ACC was brilliant in picking which schools to add. They needed other northeastern teams in addition to Boston College, and in the process added yet ANOTHER basketball powerhouse to their stable. Pitt's done some winning too in football. That Coastal Division title is nothing to snark at. Pac-12 was another big winner.
ASun and WAC are gearing up to be FBS between 3 to 10 years. We might see some former 1A school coming back like West Texas A&M, Chattanooga and Tennessee State.
Never forget that BYU created the MW to get weaker competition (especially to get away from Patterson’s TCU) then after a few years of TCU being in the MW, BYU just shot themselves in the foot and went independent
I don't buy what you are saying. The MWC was formed because the WAC had expanded to 16 teams and travel expenses had become a problem. Most of the MWC members were teams that had been in the WAC before the growth to 16 teams.
2 things I learned: 1. Conferences made much more sense geographically in 1978. 2. The American was an AQ BCS conference in 2013??? Seemed like the Mountain West really made a push for AQ status in 2011/12, adding Fresno State, Nevada, and Utah State. If TCU hadn't left they would probably be AQ.
Adding Nebraska was brilliant though. The other brilliant decisions were the ACC inviting Pitt and Syracuse and the Pac-12 taking Utah and Colorado. Big 12 was by far the biggest loser (although adding TCU and West Virginia helped stabilize them).
Thunderbird 1 adding WVU to the big 12 made absolutely no sense to me they are so out of the main region for the Big 12 and have no rival like they did in the big east with Pitt.
@@robminmonaca Yeah, they should have added another more eastern team to justify West Virginia joining (and they still should). Cincinnati, Memphis or Marshall perhaps?
Thunderbird 1 WVU should have went to big ten or ACC to be more geographically aligned and still maintain old rivals with Pitt and other old big east teams.
and now we find ourselves in a state of realignment that in less than 10 years from 2018, will make the landscape of college football look completely unrecognizable compared to how it was. Super Conferences are the reality we are heading towards, and these final years are the last time traditional (mostly) geographic based conferences will be around.
2019 - No change 2020 - Notre Dame joins the ACC from FBS Independents 2021 - Notre Dame joins back to FBS Independents from ACC 2022 - James Madison joins the Sun Belt from the CAA (FBS) Marshall, Old Dominion, and Southern Miss joins the Sun Belt from C-USA 2023 - Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, North Texas, Rice, UAB, and UTSA joins the American from C-USA BYU joins the Big 12 from FBS Independents Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF joins the Big 12 from American Jacksonville State joins the C-USA from Atlantic Sun (FCS) Sam Houston joins the C-USA from WAC (FCS) Liberty and New Mexico State joins the C-USA from FBS Independents 2024 - California and Stanford joins the ACC from Pac-12 SMU joins the ACC from American Army joins the American from FBS Independents Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah joins the Big 12 from Pac-12 Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington joins the Big Ten from Pac-12 Kennesaw State joins the C-USA from FCS Independents Oklahoma and Texas joins the SEC from Big 12
What they didn't realize at the time was that realignment was just getting started. Now the Pac-12s gone, and some conferences have schools in areas that don't represent their heritage
1. American Athletic Conference: Retain Central Florida, Memphis, South Florida, Southern Methodist, Tulsa and Tulane. Invite Florida Atlantic, North Texas, Rice, UNC-Charlotte, UTSA and UAB. 2. Atlantic Coast Conference: (Pittsburgh and Syracuse to the Big East Conference). 3. Big East Conference: Add Army and Massachusetts. (Independent). Keep Connecticut. (Big East Conference). Invite Cincinnati, East Carolina, Navy and Temple. (American Athletic Conference). Invite West Virginia. (Big XII Conference). Include Pittsburgh and Syracuse. (Atlantic Coast Conference). Invite Rutgers and Penn State. (Big Ten Conference). 4. Big Ten Conference: invite University of Colorado. (Penn State and Rutgers to the Big East Conference). 5. Big XII Conference: invite Arkansas, Houston and Missouri. 6. Pacific 12 Conference: invite Brigham Young University ( Colorado to Big Ten Conference). 7. Southeastern Conference: (Arkansas and Missouri to the Big XII Conference). 8. MAC, MWC and Sun Belt: retain present allotment. 9. C-USA and WAC: unite together. 10. Independent: Notre Dame
Florida State would've join the SEC in 1992 instead joining the Atlantic Coast Conference to win a National Championship. Auburn backs out FSU in the 1990's.
Auburn backing out on FSU had nothing to do with FSU joining the ACC. It was because Auburn fired Bobby Bowden's son. That created a lot of bad blood between the schools.
Updates: 2020: Old Dominion cancels 2020 season UConn cancels 2020 season Notre Dame joins ACC. 2021: UConn joins independents Notre Dame joins independents Old Dominion plays football after missing 2020 Kansas > Texas 2022: James Madison, Marshall, Old Dominion, and Southern Miss to Sun Belt 2023: Cincinnati, BYU, Houston, and UCF to Big 12 Jacksonville St, Liberty, New Mexico State, and Sam Houston St to C-USA Charlotte, FAU, N.Texas, Rice, UAB, and UTSA to American 2024: Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah to Big 12 Army to American Cal, SMU, and Stanford to ACC Kennesaw State to C-USA Oklahoma and Texas to SEC Oregon, UCLA, USC and Washington to Big 10 Oregon State and Washington State to Independents
Cincinnati, Houston, UCF & BYU to Big 12 UAB, Rice, UTSA, North Texas, Charlotte and FAU to AAC Jacksonville State, Liberty, New Mexico State, Sam Houston State to C-USA Southern Miss, Marshall, Old Dominion and James Madison to Sun Belt
The first iteration of the system was established after the 1991 season. There was a clear talent gap at the time between the P6 and the WAC/MAC/Big West, with the Southwest Conference in the middle. By the BCS's establishment the WAC was seen as the #7 conference (the SWC having dissolved in the interim), and the BCS format only allowed for six AQs.
I just got done watching the last snap of every title video (comments are disabled there), why didn’t you show both Michigan and Nebraska’s last snaps in 97? It’s totally fine to think Nebraska won it but Michigan had a valid claim too I still think this channel is awesome fwiw, was just curious
its a list of final snaps in championship games designated by the Bowl Coalition, Bowl Alliance, BCS and CFP. The Rose Bowl was technically not a national championship game that year like the Orange Bowl was. In no way was my intention to claim that Nebraska was the only team that could hold a share of the national title that year
FBS Football: ------------- 1. Eliminate all existing conferences. 2. Restrict the FBS to 120 teams. 3. Establish 6 20-team sub-divisions: (I, II, III, IV, V, VI). 4. Remove the human factor from the BCS ranking algorithm. 5. In late spring/early summer each team schedules 12 games against whomever they can from the 6 sub-divisions. 6. There must be 6 home games and 6 away games. Maybe 1 game per year at a neutral site. 7. At the end of the season: a. Use the modified non-human influenced BCS algorithm to rank all teams within the FBS. b. The top team in each sub-division becomes the “winner” of that sub-division. c. Select the top (8-10-12 ?) teams from sub-division I to participate in the playoffs. d. Populate the other bowl games from the remaining teams in all 6 sub-divisions. 8. Conduct the bowl games and playoff. 9. After all the bowl games and championship game: a. Relegate the bottom 3-4 teams from each sub-division to the sub-division beneath it. b. Promote the top 3-4 teams from each sub-division to the sub-division above it.
Andres trust me I'm all for BSU, I love that program, but they haven't been where they used to be, they used to be in the top 15 like every week, don't get me wrong Bryan Harsin is a great Coach, he's 52-15 but he's not like Christ Peterson, getting to the Fiesta Bowl his first year but they haven't been as good after that
There should be no "Power 5". West Virginia shouldn't be in the Big 12. Miami should be in the SEC. Most importantly the CFP should be expanded to 16 teams.
Best conference alignment presentation ever, made Wikipedia look foolish

Wonderful, can't wait to see about an update in 2023 and beyond. (Oh, as a public service announcement: replay at 0.75 speed.)
We are going to need to update this in a few years. lol
2 things I learned: 1. Conferences made much more sense geographically in 1978. 2. The American was an AQ BCS conference in 2013???
Seemed like the Mountain West really made a push for AQ status in 2011/12, adding Fresno State, Nevada, and Utah State. If TCU hadn't left they would probably be AQ.
What’s the automatic qualifying mean?
@@CrashCarson14 A guaranteed spot in a BCS bowl
Big 10 adding Rutgers still makes no sense to me
Adding Nebraska was brilliant though. The other brilliant decisions were the ACC inviting Pitt and Syracuse and the Pac-12 taking Utah and Colorado. Big 12 was by far the biggest loser (although adding TCU and West Virginia helped stabilize them).
The B1G added Maryland & Rutgers for the NYC & DC TV markets as well as for recruiting and alumni outreach.
Thunderbird 1 adding WVU to the big 12 made absolutely no sense to me they are so out of the main region for the Big 12 and have no rival like they did in the big east with Pitt.
@@robminmonaca Yeah, they should have added another more eastern team to justify West Virginia joining (and they still should). Cincinnati, Memphis or Marshall perhaps?
Thunderbird 1 WVU should have went to big ten or ACC to be more geographically aligned and still maintain old rivals with Pitt and other old big east teams.
and now we find ourselves in a state of realignment that in less than 10 years from 2018, will make the landscape of college football look completely unrecognizable compared to how it was. Super Conferences are the reality we are heading towards, and these final years are the last time traditional (mostly) geographic based conferences will be around.
You missed Florida A&M. They made the move to join FBS for the 2004 season. Then they moved back down. They were provisional at the time.
I think they missed Pacific dropping football aswell
They made the logo dissapear, but I don't see a mention of it
You should make an updated video to 2022.
Imagine if we had a playoff using the conference structure from 1978, with auto bids from each conference and a few at larges!
It's a shame a good chunk of programs back then no longer exist
4:08 look at big 12 in between Texas and Kansas.😂😂
He might need to update this once all the Texas and Oklahoma dust settles
The American Athletic Conference is going to look a lot different as well outside of Houston and Cincinnati leaving for the Big 12
NMSU and BYU should join the MWC
BYU to the Mountain and NMSU to the West
Frank Schaefer no maybe utsa instead of NMSU. NMSU would bring no money!
Yes
@@derekchavez5745 Think about how good NMSU is at basketball, there is also UNM-NMSU and they would be regular contenders in the MWC for basketball

What they didn't realize at the time was that realignment was just getting started. Now the Pac-12s gone, and some conferences have schools in areas that don't represent their heritage
1. American Athletic Conference:
Retain Central Florida, Memphis, South Florida, Southern Methodist, Tulsa and Tulane.
Invite Florida Atlantic, North Texas, Rice, UNC-Charlotte, UTSA and UAB.
2. Atlantic Coast Conference: (Pittsburgh and Syracuse to the Big East Conference).
3. Big East Conference:
Add Army and Massachusetts. (Independent).
Keep Connecticut.
(Big East Conference).
Invite Cincinnati, East Carolina, Navy and Temple. (American Athletic Conference).
Invite West Virginia.
(Big XII Conference).
Include Pittsburgh and Syracuse. (Atlantic Coast Conference).
Invite Rutgers and Penn State.
(Big Ten Conference).
4. Big Ten Conference:
invite University of Colorado.
(Penn State and Rutgers to the Big East Conference).
5. Big XII Conference:
invite Arkansas, Houston and Missouri.
6. Pacific 12 Conference:
invite Brigham Young University
( Colorado to Big Ten Conference).
7. Southeastern Conference: (Arkansas and Missouri to the Big XII Conference).
8. MAC, MWC and Sun Belt: retain present allotment.
9. C-USA and WAC: unite together.
10. Independent: Notre Dame
Florida State would've join the SEC in 1992 instead joining the Atlantic Coast Conference to win a National Championship. Auburn backs out FSU in the 1990's.
Auburn backing out on FSU had nothing to do with FSU joining the ACC. It was because Auburn fired Bobby Bowden's son. That created a lot of bad blood between the schools.
We all know Florida didn't want them to join. They still don't.
Starting in 2015, the middle of the video says SMUT.
AAC got screwed. look at the past 4 years with Memphis, UCF, Cincy, and SMU. great football.
The 2 biggest years of change were 82 and 96.
2013 was also alot of movement

@@WDB2005 Yeah forgot to update
@@WDB2005 Just did
@@someperson3883 it’s all good bro no need to apologize
@@WDB2005 Yeah forgot I made this comment
And now Oklahoma and Texas are joining the SEC
0:40 the Packers are in the NCAA.
Alabama is now ranked 5th
Get ready to update video. Texas and Oklahoma are moving to SEC in 2022…..probably
In 1998. How did "BCS" automatic confrence bids get decided? Why not the old WAC?
The first iteration of the system was established after the 1991 season. There was a clear talent gap at the time between the P6 and the WAC/MAC/Big West, with the Southwest Conference in the middle.
By the BCS's establishment the WAC was seen as the #7 conference (the SWC having dissolved in the interim), and the BCS format only allowed for six AQs.
I just got done watching the last snap of every title video (comments are disabled there), why didn’t you show both Michigan and Nebraska’s last snaps in 97? It’s totally fine to think Nebraska won it but Michigan had a valid claim too
I still think this channel is awesome fwiw, was just curious
its a list of final snaps in championship games designated by the Bowl Coalition, Bowl Alliance, BCS and CFP. The Rose Bowl was technically not a national championship game that year like the Orange Bowl was. In no way was my intention to claim that Nebraska was the only team that could hold a share of the national title that year
CFBin30 that makes sense, thanks
@@cfbin3066 makes total sense, but you have to agree, with that mentality, Nebraska would've Demolished Michigan, though.
What about NDSU [North Dakota State]?
Not in 1-A, they are an FCS team
The SEC is the Greatest Football Conference ever created. We don’t need OU & Texas either.
Next year UConn drops out of AAC, becoming independent.
Time to update
Let’s get an update!!
Yeah. Great! ( Wish I was a speed reader.)
How come Europe doesn't have this?
Needs updated
Hey I'm confused. SIU won the 1-AA National Title in 1983, but you've got the Missouri Valley in 1-A until 1986?
They were a hybrid conference, they had both 1-A and 1-AA members. So only New Mexico, Tulsa, and Wichita State were 1-A and everyone else was 1-AA
Need a update please
Where is UGF and Death Valley state university?
The Dingos are in the Mountain West, duh
Where was South Carolina when it started
independent
FBS Football:
-------------
1. Eliminate all existing conferences.
2. Restrict the FBS to 120 teams.
3. Establish 6 20-team sub-divisions: (I, II, III, IV, V, VI).
4. Remove the human factor from the BCS ranking algorithm.
5. In late spring/early summer each team schedules 12 games against whomever they can from the 6 sub-divisions.
6. There must be 6 home games and 6 away games. Maybe 1 game per year at a neutral site.
7. At the end of the season:
a. Use the modified non-human influenced BCS algorithm to rank all teams within the FBS.
b. The top team in each sub-division becomes the “winner” of that sub-division.
c. Select the top (8-10-12 ?) teams from sub-division I to participate in the playoffs.
d. Populate the other bowl games from the remaining teams in all 6 sub-divisions.
8. Conduct the bowl games and playoff.
9. After all the bowl games and championship game:
a. Relegate the bottom 3-4 teams from each sub-division to the sub-division beneath it.
b. Promote the top 3-4 teams from each sub-division to the sub-division above it.
@Colonel Buck can you show me your 20 teams in your sub divisions?
Lolz BSU is the only team upset....both ways
Southwest conference amost a texas state championship
Uconn is Utah st 2001
Fiu fau 2004
Western Kentucky 2008
App st
Gergia south 2014
Are you my dad?
no
No wonder Miami was so “good.” The Big East was garbage.
BC, Miami, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, W. Virginia, and VA Tech all had ranked teams in the 90s and 00s.
The conferences suck now
Liberty isn’t FBS
John Wright yeah I know now
They must be moving in geuss
Next realignment: Boise State joins Pac 12 or Big 12. That’s the only announcement I care about
Nah not anymore, there football program is till one of the best group of 5 teams but they're not where they used to be
Andres trust me I'm all for BSU, I love that program, but they haven't been where they used to be, they used to be in the top 15 like every week, don't get me wrong Bryan Harsin is a great Coach, he's 52-15 but he's not like Christ Peterson, getting to the Fiesta Bowl his first year but they haven't been as good after that
@@Fiftykingz Uh, they're currently ranked #14 in the country...hard to believe they won't finish in the top ten this year.
@@HistorianOfThings they could lose this weekend... then not be ranked at all. Rankings are harsh for non p5.
There should be no "Power 5". West Virginia shouldn't be in the Big 12. Miami should be in the SEC. Most importantly the CFP should be expanded to 16 teams.
UTEP was a member of the SWC from 78 to 95. Then along with SMU, Rice and TCU moved to the WAC.
UTEP had been in the WAC since 1968. They were never in the SWC, not even as an affiliate.
Notre Dame joined the ACC...
Chandler Vanover Notre Dame is still an independent football program but for other sports they are part of the ACC
@@rixtacarde7333 Notre Dame plays hockey in the The Big Ten
Notre Dame has a 5 game contract per season with ACC (5/8ths football membership) currently until 2037...
