Best Guess to the near term outcome

[zls44]

But the question I pose is are those school's football programs improving each year and if so how long before a few of them(or half of them) knock off enough non conference opponents to be ranked in the top 25?

How about "for--ever"?

Come on.. Buffalo, ECU and Memphis are only new coaches and 85 much better players away from beating anyone.

What I'm asking is .... are there enough schools like UConn on the rise to make a new conference East of the Mississippi? Do we "have" to join an established conference or is there potential to start a new Eastern football conference to replace the Big East and eventually the ACC?

To zls44: How long do you think it will take UConn to crack the top 25 on a fairly regular basis?

No.

I'll answer for him. If UConn isn't in a legitimate BCS league - it will take longer than it will take for the sun to burn out.
