This scenario is most likely not going to happen, or at least not to this scale!
But, I thought it would be fun to play around with what conferences might look like if there were to become a new division in college football. This thread is not about the possibility of that happening, or why it will or will not work to have a new division.

Here are the Rules:
1) Geography must be a factor ( No coast to coast conferences )
2) Size and scope of the schools needs to be as similar as possible
3) You can pick schools FBS, FCS, and DII to form your conferences.
