I just think the time zone thing is a little over rated.


To me personally, it appears unnatural to see Texas A&M playing conference games in places like Columbia, SC, Athens, GA, Knoxville, TN, and Lexington, KY. Having Missouri in the SEC East is even weirder. WVU in the Big 12 is ridiculous too. I just don't see division and conference arrangements like those working out well in the long run. Power 5 survival motivated those conference arrangements, not common sense. I know that this is where we are in college football in 2016, but I was always a fan of regionalism which naturally brought out the best rivalries.
