I originally had CSU in The Big 8, but felt I needed a few more teams in The MWC that had some football history/upside. I left out The AFA initially because I couldn't find slots for Army/Navy. Memphis feels a bit too distant from The Big 8 to fit in to the geographic cohesiveness angle I was going for. Leaving Army aside for a moment, as they have chosen to exclude themselves from conference affiliation, you might be able to sneak Navy into The MWC because of their national following and ties to the west coast. The AAC is already doing this.

Big 8- OU, OSU, UNL, KU, KSU, MU, ISU, CU, CSU, Cincy

MWC- BYU, Utah, BSU, Wyoming, UNM, UNLV, AFA, Navy, SDSU, UH

This version unites CU and CSU as rivals and gives The Husker Fans their extra Denver Area Trip. The MWC can then add in AFA and Navy, giving it a more national appeal, while only sacrificing Fresno State. Navy draws well everywhere it goes, and would have great support playing at both SDSU and UH.
