****The Official NEW new new conference realignment & shit talk thread****

Let's do it.

Wow, I just noticed this. Both South Carolina and Missouri got to skip Auburn, Alabama and LSU this season in football. The three best teams in the West.

No wonder they have such inflated rankings.

Let's try and keep our discussions to the modern age like I said "the last 5 years".

MU & aTm changed leagues but wanted to continue their series' w/ Tx & KU OOC. Both of those schools we/are mad that they left & did the only thing they could do which was refuse to play.

And there's nothing wrong w/ that. They don't have to play & them being mad is understandable. I get it.

But the reality is that the loser in all this is the fans of all schools involved. All of our various sports seasons would be more fun w/ the series' continuance. Hopefully some day cooler heads prevail but until then meh, that's life.

I'm sure the KU AD didn't like seeing Arrowhead 70-30 Mizzou fans either. And that's with Kansas City being a "KU town", to boot. Oh the humanity.

Imbalanced scheduling is unavoidable w/ these big leagues. But even then if you keep winning you eventually run into a heavy if you happened to miss 'em in the regular season just as Mizzou will tomorrow where we'll find out how good the Tigers really are one way or the other.

Louisville and Cincy have agreed to keep playing.

Ya KU football trying to rebuild definitely doesn't need that game right now. I would guess that's not a factor but merely a fringe benefit. They aren't doing anything Texas isn't.

Is that right? I was watching that last night & I thought they actually nothing was scheduled moving forward?

Cincinnati will do everything they can to stay connected the major conferences.

KU0MU is a very different situation. Neither of the schools need each other.

Keep moving those goalposts. What happened to your earlier comment about Big 12 BCS bowl winners not losing to FCS schools, btw? Going to own that one?

I didn't say they've scheduled anything. I said they have agreed to schedule each other. It's going to be a couple of years before they can make it happen, though.

If I was MU, I would try to get a series with Nebraska in Kansas City. That would be even a bigger **** you to the Big 12. SEC/Big Ten game in Kansas City.

KU plays a 9 game conference schedule in the only conference that decides a true Champion.

Next year they have an ACC Championship Game participant on the schedule. There's nothing to gain by playing MU.

It's been the position since MU left and has never changed.

No ****ing way. Let Nebraska wither away in their shitty recruiting territory. I'm not inviting them into KC.

Who lost to an FCS? Florida did. Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, TCU, WVU, Oklahoma State all beat their FCS opponent.
