University of Utah. The fame of this division is due to the fact that most of the "big" quarterbacks and other players tend to come out of the schools that are part of this conference. In addition, these schools, within these conferences, are mostly private institutions or with little government support.

Now that Clemson is struggling, guess what? An ordinary Tigers team combined with the eternal muddle of the Coastal Division, plus Florida State finding new depths, is not a good look.
There is some optimism in a few Atlantic Division locales, though. Overall nonconference record: 27—11,. Power 5 opponents: 5—8,. Group of 5 opponents: 12—2,. FCS opponents: 10—1,. Home record: 22—6,. Best home win: Louisville over UCF. Worst home loss: Florida State to Jacksonville State.

Road record: 9—11,. The conference needed a tenth member while the Mountaineers were trying to jump off a sinking ship called the Big East. Geographically it made no sense, but both sides needed to link up to survive. Nearly a decade after the ACC and Big East clashed over-expansion, the two leagues were at odds again In , both Syracuse and Pittsburgh applied for admission to the ACC the league immediately accepted which put the Big East on life support.
Syracuse was ready to join the ACC in but politics or the league's side and pleading on the university's side kept that from happening then. Now, the ACC expanded its geographic footprint in the northeast and added the New York and western Pennsylvania markets and their decade-long raid of the Big East was ready to break up that league more on that in a bit. Their agreement was that the Fighting Irish will play five games against ACC schools each year, giving the league some high-profile games built into their schedule.
It also formed an agreement that if Notre Dame were to join a conference for football, it would have to be the ACC. In fact, the Irish would join the ACC for the football season due to the global pandemic. When the Big East became a football conference in , it was already a sore subject throughout the league.
What was once a compilation of east coast basketball programs now became a loose partnership where the basketball schools felt as if the football schools were making all the league's decisions. It wasn't the tight-knit atmosphere of the s as the Big East turned too The league grew to a team behemoth in basketball and a subpar product in football. When Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, and, eventually, Louisville announced they were leaving for the ACC, that began a spiraling of trying to keep the football league alive.
This created a huge schism within the conference. The basketball-only schools Instead of the Big East as it once was, now you were asking Georgetown and St. John's to travel to East Carolina and Tulane? The Catholic 7 Georgetown, St. What a wild few years for Louisville! Louisville would become a contender in the league and have their first Heisman trophy winner in Lamar Jackson.
Not only was this a wild decade for Louisville, but for the ACC as well. If there is anything that points to recent conference realignment being more about money than sport, look no further than the Big Ten gobbling up Maryland and Rutgers.
Meanwhile, Maryland and Rutgers get an infusion of cash that both schools and athletic departments desperately needed. Maryland was slashing athletic programs while Rutgers was hemorrhaging money and living in the volatile Big East, and both wanted in on the money that the Big Ten's television contracts would provide.
None of it was about football or any other sport for that matter. Rutgers has gone in conference play since joining the Big Ten and has been downright embarrassing at times. Maryland hasn't fared much better, going in the Big Ten, and would be a cellar dweller in the East Division if it wasn't for Rutgers already living there.
To many on the outside, this was a very sore issue in regards to conference realignment. The AAC, who lost three schools to the Big 12, initially tried to lure a few Mountain West schools to their league but those schools balked.
When all is said and done, the AAC will have 14 members This move was a major hit for the C-USA, marking nine schools leaving all at once with limited options to replace them.
It has shown a lot of cards among the Group of 5 -- the AAC is still trying to retain its status as the top league in that Group, the Mountain West fancies itself as the same, the Sun Belt is coming on strong as a very good league with passionate fanbases, while the MAC prefers its insular geographic ties.
When Oklahoma and Texas stunned the college football world by announcing they'd be moving to the SEC more on that in a bit , the Big 12 was on the verge of collapse.
Would more teams leave for the other Power 5 leagues or could the league regroup and fortify its future. The league did a great job extracting four programs who not only have been successful recently, but operate in four big markets. BYU leaves their independent status for a ticket at the Power 5 table. Cincinnati had a brief taste of major conference life before the Big East dissolved. When the news broke that Texas and Oklahoma were trying to get into the Southeastern Conference, it was earth-shattering.
Texas is one of the biggest brands in college athletics and Oklahoma has been dominating the Big 12 for a decade and filling the NFL with quarterbacks. The fact that these two left a conference that they basically ran to join up with the league that has won 11 of the last 15 national championships turned a lot of heads. The news also got everything thinking about this being the beginning of the end of college football as we know it.
Is the SEC planning world domination?
