The FBS Realignment Simulator is a free interactive tool for redrawing college football's conference map. Drag any of the 138 FBS programs between conferences and watch every metric recalculate instantly: a 0-100 power rating, estimated annual media-rights distribution per school, local and national TV audience reach, conference travel footprint and time-zone spread, academic (AAU) cohesion, and how many historic rivalries each alignment keeps intact or splits apart.
Build four 16-team superconferences, rebuild the Pac-12, design a breakaway Power 3 of 24 schools, sort the country into regional pods to minimize travel, or preserve as many traditional rivalries as possible. Compare any two conferences head to head, rank conferences by power, revenue, TV reach, or media distribution, and adjust the power-rating formula yourself. View detailed profiles for every program including SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, American, Mountain West, Sun Belt, MAC, Conference USA, Pac-12, and independents like Notre Dame.
Southeastern Conference (SEC), Big Ten, Big 12, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Pac-12, American Athletic Conference, Mountain West, Sun Belt, Mid-American Conference (MAC), Conference USA, and FBS independents. All financial figures, TV markets, and historical alignments are based on compiled public data.
