New conference. Start with a base of Florida schools. USF, UCF, FIU, FAU, then add 6 teams located in the SE. Limit travel expenses for the teams and fans, create some out of close proximity rivalries.

That would be terrible.

Why? It's a wild ass idea, but why do you think that it would be terrible? Are we '"above" anyone else that would be in that conference?

As Databull said, from a TV perspective it has zero appeal. I would also add that the on field quality wouldn't be appealing either. It is certainly not "SEC lite" as someone said. I think there are much better schools out there to form a conference with or build the Big East with. U of Ohio, Tulsa to name 2. Not great names, but quality has been strong over the past couple of years.

I'm not saying wild, unique ideas aren't needed, but putting USF in the class of FIU and FAU is a big disservice to us. I think the quality of our department is far superior to theirs.

Fair enough.

At this point, I think an undefeated MAC team would get into the playoff before an undefeated Big East team.

Nothing we can do about it, but piss and moan. Luckily, that is what we do best.

This conference fiasco doesn't help CWT with recruiting. I hope this isn't another distraction for our football program.

Wouldn't it be great if our BB team had another great season and led the charge into a new conference.

I'm thinking ditch the west and create the Big Mac Conference. This conference would be stronger than the MWC currently is.

This could also screw Boise leaving them on the outside looking in most of the time.

yep, it's actually a pretty good conference, not where we want to be obviously it will have to do.

Didn't the MAC have three teams ranked in final BCS? They had at least two. This may be a wild card idea, the MAC has always been a fun brand to watch. Plus, if NIU beats FSU tonite, it could spark something!!!

I say to hell with it, and invite some MAC teams!!! We already added one, and lost to it. And I love the name too!! The BIG MAC Conference. I co-sign!

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
