Go back to the 2010 power conference alignments, and then…
Add BYU and Utah to the Pac-10.
Add Notre Dame to the Big Ten.
Add TCU, SMU, Houston, and UCF to the eight teams that were in the Big East. For a refresher, that was USF, Louisville, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Rutgers, and Connecticut.
The G5s stay the same as they are today with the exception of the American losing SMU and USF, whom they could replace with Army and UMass.
Six power conferences with 12 teams each. Every conference has a championship game. Geographical alignments make sense. No more independents. Easy peasy.
If you want to put Louisville and TCU in the Big 12 and add some combination of Memphis, Tulane, Temple, and/or Rice to the Big East, go for it.
Zero chance of happening, but it’s perfect.
