With apologies to Northwestern & Colorado State getting dropped out, and the West getting stretched out a little bit, this would work from a GEOGRAPHY point of view quite well. I'm sure I've forgotten or left out someone, but it's all in fun & not a reality. Divide them into divisions or pods and PLAYOFFS!!

I debated Duke & Wake a little

Duke got the pass because of hoops & I'll fix my GT mistake by sending WF to the 'minors'...they only have about 1500 students anyway.

True, they would need to join the Big East Basketball League

They are a very small school as well, bigger than WF, 6k undergrad & 8k grad students...weird.

Who gets the boot to fix Stanford: Cal or Boise State?

Might cause a little debate on the BSU issue once again? A 'one sport wonder' versus Cal who I'd call barely average at most sports doesn't bring a whole lot either.

A minor suggestion:

Add two teams to each division, bringing the total to 68.
Depending on the sport, different teams will be in the bottom of their respective divisions, and therefore would not be a factor in any sort of playoff.
For example, your Southern Division of 18 could include GTech and someone like So. Miss or ECU or whoever.
The West would pick up Stanford and San Diego State or Hawaii.
The Northeast needs to be renamed anyway, with Vanderbilt and Midwest teams int here. Make it the Mutant Division and include a couple of otherwise castoffs.
The only issue comes in conference scheduling for football. But if each division is further split, you get 9-team splits, which makes things easier.
