As recently as a year ago I'd have said I wouldn't like turning college football into a junior-NFL. Given what's happened since then, and what's likely to come, now I think it might be the best thing that could happen to the sport. Did some back-of-envelope pondering of how the seven 10-team divisions could be aligned, both to make geographic sense and preserve as many rivalries as possible (and even revive several that have gone dormant). I even restored some old conference names.

Big Ten: Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, Northwestern, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota

Pac 10: Arizona, Arizona State, UCLA, USC, Cal, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State

SEC: Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, LSU, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Kentucky

ACC: Georgia Tech, Clemson, South Carolina, UNC, NC State, Duke, Wake Forest, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Maryland

Big East: Miami, Florida State, West Virginia, Pitt, Penn State, Rutgers, Syracuse, Boston College, UCF, Notre Dame

SWC: Texas, Texas A&M, Houston, TCU, SMU, Baylor, Arkansas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State

Big Eight+: Utah, BYU, Colorado, Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa State, Cincinnati, Louisville

Instead of lip balm, the Trailtankers should be handing out Preparation H for fan appreciation night to offer some relief from the way they've been screwing them the last several years.
