College Football Relegation - 2015

This is the tenth and penultimate entry in my series on relegation in college football.

The year Al Golden met his maker. Deliverance.

Relegations:

ACC- UCF

Big 10- Syracuse

Big 12 - Kansas

PAC 12- Oregon State

SEC - Louisiana Tech

Some interesting names here, including UCF, winless and statistically one of the worst teams in the history of college football. Syracuse and Kansas, 2 great basketball powers, find themselves back in the Suck, and Louisiana Tech finds its stay in the SEC to be a short one.

Promotions:

Conference USA - Western Kentucky

MAC - Bowling Green

Mountain West - San Diego State

Sun Belt - USF

At-large - Cal (also in the mix: Memphis, Minnesota, Appalachian State)

Big time to be a football fan in Northern Kentucky / Southern Ohio. Big ups! Also a warm welcome back to USF and the Tampa market, or as we like to call it in my household, America's UTI.

The SEC gets Tampa into its footprint, while the dregs are divvied up as follows: Western Kentucky to the ACC, Cal to the PAC 12, Bowling Green to the Big 10 and San Diego State to the Big 12. Hard luck for both SDSU and the Big 12...in any other year SDSU would have gotten its dream birth in the PAC 12, while the Big 12 is spread even further out, adding a small media market when the preference would have been USF.
