"Which school would be the sixth team in the new "western" dvision? If what Iliana Limon of the Orlando Sentinel is hearing is correct, it could be UCF. According to her source, Louisville and Cincinnati do not want to be in the same division with the teams from the west."

That makes no sense!

Well, at least they gave us "sooner rather than later" instead of some BS about it being done by the end of the week.

Kind of makes sense with UCF. They would play Houston and SMU each year just like they do now so UL and UC could play the remaining BE schools every year just like they do now. So UCF might have to travel really west only 1 or 2 times per season compared to the proposed east schools that would only go far west maybe once every other year. They would also be our annual "crossover" game just like AF-Navy if those 2 work out.

I would go with 14 for football. add two more Western schools

No reason for anyone other than UCF or Navy to go into the western division. UL, UC, and USF have seniority. They wont be sent out west unless they want to, which I cant imagine any of them do.

Navy might want to, but if they dont, I'd expect they would be above UCF in the decision pecking order, so I'd expect to see UCF out west at this point. It makes the most sense.

This.

I like the idea of having the Florida schools in different divisions.
