Big East did it right:

VT, WVU, PSU, Temple, BC, Pitt, Cuse, Rutgers. Miami

Clem, Fsu, GT, UNC , State, UVa, Wake , Duke, MD

Vandy, UT, Bama, Auburn, LSU, South Carolina, GA, Fla, KY, Miss, MSU

Texas, Ark, A and M, Baylor, Tex Tech, Houston, Smu, Rice, TCU (BOY THE CHEATING in this one)

Mizzou, OU, NEB, Colo, ISU, KU, KSU, Ok State

AZ, ASU, USC, UCLA, Stanford, Cal, WSU, UW, OSU, Oregon

BYU, Utah, New Mexico, Boise, Wyoming, Sdsu, Unlv Air Force, CSU

The other would be leftover INDY. ND included.

Best of each above makes the quarterfinals first week December (home venues0. From then on use bowls and neutral sites.

For Example
#1 Bama vs # 8 BYU
#2 OSU vs #7 Oregon
#3 Clemson Vs #6 Texas A and M
#4 ND VS #5 OU

Mind you we are past any of the above. I also know VT in ACC is better than Big East. But this was what if we never got in ACC situation. Many a rivalry is saved. Money could have been more fairly issued out. See what greed did? KILLED or killing the great sport. I like this scenario in one big way. ND is truly their desire. They live or die on their own, Their other sports also live or die on their own thinking. I like it because only the round robin champs get in . THe season means everything. Each week is huge. Just a dream people. We have went past the point of no return.
