College Football 2024 Conference Realignment *PREDICTIONS*

Discussing the ACC, Big Ten, SEC, Mountain West, Florida State, Clemson, and more

[mondorhymes]

Cal and Stanford 2700 miles to travel to the ACC seems crazy to me. This whole conference realignment will be a wild thing to watch this season.

I'm an FSU fan and to date, as far as YouTube goes, you're the only guy on YouTube that's pushing an FSU to the SEC narrative. Virtually everyone thinks FSU to the B1G is a done deal. I'm not sure if you're informed on FSU's history, but FSU and the SEC have a VERY strained relationship stemming from the SEC declining FSU for two decades, then getting upset when they finally came around to giving FSU an invite and FSU spurning them for the ACC. The SEC was so butthurt that aside from the Gators, the SEC refused to schedule FSU for a decade.

Lets also not forget how horrible the relationship between FSU and ESPN and the State of Florida and Disney is.

I'd love to see FSU in the SEC, but it's not going to happen.

[blacksportsguru]

Florida state is going to the Big. It's a done deal

[georgebad]

I really want a wac situation where the size makes the conference implode on itself

[dion]

If the Big12 could snag VT, NC State, GT & Pitt oh man that makes for a very fun conference.

[VanLifeStorytelling]

My man, FSU is NOT going to the SEC. They are going to the Big10.

I think adding memphis makes a lot of sense. They have made a NY6 game recently, won more games on football than aby ither AAC team that left for the Big12, have had 2 #1 recruiting classes in basketball. Those are good things for even a power conference team. They have a higher upside than any other group of five team in my opinion. What they haven't done is take advantage of their opportunities. They should have been in at least two more NY6 games, Missing two field goals on the last play of the game That would have either put them in one or put them in position to be in one. They only had one tournament win with those two number one classes. Regardless of this, There is much more potential there than any other G5 team available. Given some resources and a better conference, They may be a school that benefits greatly from a change of scenery.

North Carolina is a far better fit, and provides much more value for the Big Ten then Miami and Georgia Tech does, and it’s not even close. Doesn’t mean that is going to happen though.

[sumdude]

B1G wants Virginia, NC and FSU is my understanding. They might would take Miami to round it out but idk. For B1G its about academics too. Being part of the research association.

[Fred_JMZ]

Big 12: Miami, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Duke
Big 10: FSU, Clemson
SEC: NC State, Virginia Tech, Virginia, North Carolina
ACC: SMU, CAL, Stanford, Washington State, Oregon State, Memphis, Tulane, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Syracuse, Boston College, Norte Dame, UNLV, San Diego State, APP State, Boise State

[henrymoore]

Don't be naive, the ACC will blow up. Besides FSU and Clemson, the Big 10 expands to 24 teams. Invites Georgia Tech for the Atlanta TV market, TCU for the 5th largest TV market and Arizona for the PHX market. It's all about TV not butts in the stands.

[glennruess]

How is UNC better than NC State in football? UNC has lost the last 3 times they played State & NCSU is 7-3 in their last 10 games against each other.

[coreysalter]

Any chance ACC grabs Oregon St & Wash St, to balance out the west wing? (If they lose 2 -5)

[Frank-Biddle]

The only way the SEC would take FSU is for defensive purposes against the BIG10.

[scottyking]

Good to see Memphis get some love from somebody

[hurricanehaze]

When the 2 major Conferences get to 24 teams they each will hold a playoff for the conference championships

[ramspencer]

I keep hearing rumors from people claiming to know inside info that Florida State would be going the Big 10... Not the SEC...

[Ckellertwin]

I think Oregon State and Washington State should have been more of suggested add to ACC then your suggested Top 7 options you ranked....
If you think they are gonna be stubborn to rebuild the Pac-? then your even crazier to think your top 7 ranked minus Memphis/South Florida is involved in your ACC expansion candidates...
Just looking at geographical superiority..

[joshsalmons]

Geographically I thought VT would be a great fit in the BIG. They already complete with Penn State in recruiting.
