Here is my 2 cents on the BCS Conferences:
Pac 10-Great scheduling, everyone plays each other. What they need to improve on is getting their own network. Fox Sports is a mediocre cable network at best, and ABC is filled with the other conferences. If they could get the Fox Network to carry their games (They did a decent job this past Bowl season) it could lift this conference in a big way.
Big 10-SCHEDULE OPEN DATES!!!!!!!! Want to know why USC, Florida and the like have whupped you good lately? Your season ends in Mid November. The SEC, Pac 10 and Big 12 end in December. If you schedule 2 open dates, you can have Ohio St v Michigan on Dec 1, the same date as the other guys conference championship games, and the conclusion of the Pac 10 season as well. The chance of a 12th team joining is unlikely.
Big East-Add Notre Dame to football. Yes, they have their own network in NBC, and they are looking to grow. Since ND is in the other sports in the Big East, this could give them a lift. ND played West Virginia for the Title in 1989 (Fiesta Bowl on Jan of that year for the 1988 season). It would be a good rivalry. It might end the Irish playing Michigan, Mich St and maybe USC, but would make the conference interesting
Big 12-From a scheduling standpoint, perfect. Just settle on a permanent home for the Conference Championship Game and you are set.
SEC-Adopt a scheduling component like the Big 12. So what if Alabama and Tennessee are rivals? They are in seperate divisions and can play every other year. The 'permanent rivalries' are total bullshit. How fair is it for Ole Miss to get Vandy, while LSU gets Florida? Or Arkansas gets South Carolina and Auburn gets Georgia? Ditch em!
ACC-Strange to have Florida St and Miami in competing divisions, but it makes sense. Playing the championship game in J'ville is good, but this conference needs to show it can step out on its own.
Notre Dame-Join the Big East already!
