A pretty
entertaining read, all the way around. And pretty dead-on, I think. I loved this paragraph:

But in a world where TCU can play South Florida in a Big East game, regional affiliations don't seem to matter. But they do. In time, people will see that. Heck, in a weird way, all this realignment actually reflects the regional biases of this country. The Big 10 is located in manufacturing states, which are union territory, and so the Big 10 has a one-for-all, equal-pay-for-equal-work feel to it. Texas is all about small government and letting the rich get richer if they are smart enough to do so. The South thinks it is the real America and wouldn't mind seceding again. The West Coast doesn't mind being grossly overpopulated as long as the sun is out and there is money to be made.

That may be the best characterization of the major conferences that I've ever heard. It's also why OU-to-PAC12, Texas-to-ACC makes no sense. It's like everyone in CFB has gone insane.
In some ways it makes me glad BYU is independent and doesn't have to be included in all this crap. In other ways, it makes me sick and want to shut off CFB altogether.
