Probably the Big 10. They've added two great historical programs. ACC would be a close second.

The thing with the ACC is that a lot of ACC folks don't like how the conference culture has changed or the way the divisions are aligned. At all.

They're almost as bad as the Pac fans who are still bitching about expanding with the Arizona schools in the 1970s and losing the historic Pac-8.

With the Big 10, they went to 11 teams for a long time and that's an unworkable number. Now they brought us "Legends" and "Leaders". They're successful in spite of how badly they handle things. They did add two great football programs, though. No doubt.

I'll give it to the SEC. Their success proves how well they did with realignment.

Problem with the SEC is that Arkansas and South Carolina haven't had much success, just basing it off of the list you posted. The Big 10 (regardless of how ****** the names are) added NU and PSU, both of which are great football schools. FSU was a very, very good team in the 1990's but fell off in the 2000's and Va Tech can't win Big games.
 
I voted Big 10. The ACC actually had the right idea with football powers FSU, Miami, and VT but the problem is by the time Miami joined they were on their downside, and FSU hasn't been a power for the last decade either. The SEC has done well also with Arkansas and while South Carolina hasn't done much they have the great fan support. I just laugh when I hear radio voices around here say that SCar made a mistake by leaving the ACC for the SEC. Gimme a break you ****ing idiots.
 
Hate ACC expansion. Ruined basketball. The pre-expansion ACC bball round-robin gauntlet was great. Adding BC was just ****ing foolish

The BC addition hasn't worked anywhere near as close as they had hoped. Their thought was it would get them into the large New England market but not only is there almost no passion for college football up there, they couldn't care less about all these other conference schools along the mid-Atlantic and the South. The Boston market is completely dominated by pro sports.

On another note, I think it's well past time Swofford moves on

What about those of us who think the Big7 should have never added Okie Light in 1962? **** that.
 
I went Pac-12 figuring in great Scott's leadership with legendary tv and conference network contracts.
 
PAC12 for getting up to speed by adding enough teams for a conference title game....&of course cause 1 of those schools is Colorado
 
Big 10. Not too hard to see they added two national powers with huge followings to their already strong league.


plus they already have their TV network.

Big 10 wins
 
Big 10 did it right, patiently waiting and each time adding a team with big national championship history and capacity-crowd fanbase. Where they screwed up was in aligning the divisions. And NAMING THEM.
