College Football Realignment

Apparently with 17 teams they're saying it's mathematically impossible for everyone to play 9 conference games. One possible solution is to count the games against ND as a conference game.
That's an easy solution for everyone, I honestly can't believe it's even a question. Duh, do that.
 
I think it’ll be more than 2 teams but assuming it’s some combination of UNC, Miami, Virginia, Utah, Kansas, and Colorado since McMurphy says AAU is going to be important. FSU gets included for them if they get AAU status. Of course, Stanford/Cal should probably be mentioned as possibilities but if ND is truly never joining a conference, not sure if Stanford really matters.

The SEC would then probably need to also add to get to 20 so that would mean at least a total of 6 from that group, plus Clemson, GT, TTU, TCU, and VT. I actually think when it’s all said and done, it’ll be closer to 24 per conference.

Feels like as long as CU maintains the institutional commitment to football we’ll have a good shot at being included in that kind of format

SEC will never add TTU or TCU - SEC already has the two brands that matter in the state. TTU/ TCU have to hope the B1G wants to take a gamble in order to get into Texas (incredibly unlikely)
 
I fear Kansas and Utah are ahead of CU at the moment.
These next 3 to 4 years are important for Colorado to win consistently and take over the Big12 showing either of the Big10 or SEC that they belong.
