2013 Line up, if The BE makes WV, Pitt & Syracuse stay until after the end of the 2013 FB season .
(I used CBS Sports Top 120 Rankings)
Possible Alignment for one year:
West Division
Boise State #4
Houston #14
West Virginia #26
San Diego State #46
SMU #61
*Navy #79
U of Central Florida #82
East Division
Rutgirls #38
Louisville #45
Pittsburgh #63
*Air Force #71
USF #74
UCONN #81
Syracuse #85
Possible Additions *
If not possible Temple #52
---------------------------------------
Most Likely 2014 Line up
West Division
Boise State #4
Houston #14
San Diego State #46
SMU #61
*Navy #79
U of Central Florida #82
East Division
Cincinnati #32
Rutgirls #38
Louisville #45
*Air Force #71
USF #74
UCONN #81
Possible Additions *
If not then likely Temple #52
Overall I think this makes the BE stronger. As long as Boise remains a top 25 team because thats about all they bring ie they don't travel well. And I like Houston, San Diego, SMU and UCF for their TV markets. Also FYI in 2010 UCF was ranked #10 I believe!
With this line up there are 3 or 4 legit top 25 teams and a total of 10 possible top 50 teams.
I think Marinate told them that together that the BE with those teams would make alot more $$$ in TV rights. And I think it's true. Should be interesting if the BE gets that CBS deal their angling for! Imagine if the 3 BE defectors and TCU had stuck around!
Anyway I would not be surprised if when the new teams come in, the 3 BE teams WV, Cuse & Pitt are released from the league. Hopefully everybody sticks around for a while!
