Wasn't Baylor oh so close to playing for a championship last year too? Then they got UCF and shit the bed. lol I hope they are paired up with Boise St. so they can cry ( and lose ) again

Most of the B1G West should be pretty happy with it. Teams like Minnesota, Northwestern, and Iowa (lol Ferentz) would probably never have a realistic shot at getting in the title game if they were in the East, but they do in the West.
So the same stupid logic as Legends/Leaders, basically. That makes sense.
You heard it here first, I hate college football!

SEC was built with the idea the big rivalry games Bama/Tennessee or UGA/Auburn would play occasionally too. Has never happen.
Edit: LOL no one is going to watch/go to the Orange bowl

That's only part of it. They also travel less to Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, which inhibits recruiting, and they host those teams less often, which inhibits ticket sales (revenue).
That's basically the ACC's problem (it's not a big problem for now, but it could become one). The new teams would like to both go to and get visits from other teams more often.
WOOOOOO.

There's TCU's big OOC win!

Mississippi State moved over Michigan State?
That hosed the ACC a bit. The expectation last week was for a Sparty/Chop Block matchup in the Orange that would have opened a slot for the ACC in the Citrus. With the SEC in the Orange, that puts the Big Ten back into the Citrus (and no ACC team).

Sparty please beat the shit out of Baylor so we never have to listen to Art Briles whine again.
They're kinda salty of not being to able to sell visits on the Shoe and the Big House. But yeah Michigan and Ohio State made out like bandits in the new realignment, get to NYC and Washington DC with all their alumni base being there, and still have the key games retained for them.
Wonder if Baylor will do better than that 2010 Alabama Michigan State game...

they are both wearing their Big 12 championship hats
Lets not act like the Atlantic division has been carrying the weight of the ACC for all these years. FSU was trash towards the end of the Bowden era and Clemson was not any better. Lets not forget Wake Forest won the conference in 06. VT was the most consistently successful team up to until 5 years ago

Oh, that's definitely true. Virginia Tech was carrying the conference during the latter half of the last decade, no doubt about that. They filled the role carved out for Miami and covered for Florida State, to an extent, though the league itself fared poorly in the BCS games.

The Joe's Chicken, Waffles, and Appliance Repair Bowl will be announced in a couple of hours, I think.

At least the big ten names made it plain that the alignment was stupid.

Atlantic and Coastal. The ACC isn't exactly trying to fool anyone.
They should go to 3 divisions, the Atlantic, Coastal, and Conference. (The three-way CCG would be highly entertaining.)

I see the Fiesta bowl got its normal trash matchup.
I'd be fine with this. State should be playing Duke every year.

As they deserve.
How did "Bo Pelini" get a vote? How did Mike Riley vote as OSUw's coach?
Screw that. The world waits anxiously to see which titans of the gridiron will compete in the Popeye's Bahamas Bowl*.

Bama's good for sure but they also barely beat Arkansas and needed OT against LSU who barely beat Wisconsin. Everyone plays some games closer than they should like OSU against Penn State. I'm expecting a good game.
