They should have gone with Big East Lame and Big East Suck.

Just rename the entire conference to “The High School Conference” as that’s all the teams are in both divisions. The Big East, MWC and WAC should all be eliminated as they are an embarrassment to college football.

I know the Big East seems to want one more western team to be #14, but I almost think an eastern school makes more sense. Divisions in 2015 and beyond could then be:

East: UConn, Rutgers, Temple, Navy, UCF, USF, Team #14

West: Boise, SDSU, SMU, Houston, Memphis, Louisville, Cincinnati.

The best division name suggestion I saw some time ago, depending on how the division structure ends up for 2015 and beyond, was Colonial and Frontier.

How about “Premississippian” and Semipostmississippian”?

How about losers and irrelevant. More fitting than just east and west.

Temple being in the West is like the Atlanta Braves being stuck in the NL West years ago.

@mdac – price they pay for being the newer kid on the block. And besides, this is for two seasons. The plan after that, once Navy and team #14 join, is to go to a non-geographic alignment.

@whoisedgy – you are underestimating just how bad the MWC TV deal is. The Big Easts worst case scenario in their upcoming discussions is probably still 3X better than the MWC’s current deal.

With the Big East officially being relegated to the kiddie table (Group of Five?!) and the financial and image hit that goes with it, doesn’t it make sense now that SDSU and Boise stay in Mountain West? The highest ranked champion of the Group of Five gets the auto bid. Boise can continue to dominate MWC and be ranked higher than anyone from Big East. If I were Boise, I would make sure my bean-counters did the math very carefully!

I hope Louisville can get out out quick!

Not that I really even care that much, but how is Temple in the West and Cincy in the East?

Not a team in either division worth anything.
