I'm sure you all know what sister cities are.

Which FBS conferences are your favorite FCS conference's sisters (2011 only)? Please dismiss potential FBS conference mergers at this point! Please also keep the BCS designation in mind. And yes, I know there are unequal numbers here...double it up.

Choices (Bold = FBS, Italic = FCS)

SEC, ACC, Big East, Big 12, Pac-12, Big Ten

C-USA, MAC, Mountain West, WAC, Sun Belt


Big Sky, Big South, CAA, Great West, Ivy, MEAC

Missouri Valley, NEC, OVC, Pioneer League, Patriot League

Southern, Southland, SWAC

Here's my 2011 Attempt:


CAA = SEC ... A lot of the stronger teams are not playing all that well (CAA = Villanova, William & Mary and SEC = Georgia, Ole Miss), but there is still a lot of strength and potential to win the title (CAA = Delaware, UNH, Richmond, JMU and SEC = Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, LSU)

Big Sky = Pac-12 .... This shouldn't be too controversial given the Sac State-Oregon State result earlier. You have strong team likes Montana & Montana State (Oregon & Stanford).

SOCON = ACC ..... (Florida State & VT & Miami & UNC = App State & Wofford & Ga. Southern & Chattanooga)

Great West = Big East ... (WV = Southern Utah & Cincinnati = South Dakota)

Missouri Valley = Big Ten (NDSU = Wisconsin, UNI = Nebraska)

Ohio Valley Conference = Big-12 (Texas A&M = Jacksonville State & Missouri = Tenn. Tech)

MEAC = Mountain West (Never getting any respect are you South Carolina State?)

NEC = C-USA (A total inferiority complex Central Connecticut = Houston)

Patriot League = MAC (Lehigh = Toledo, Colgate = Bowling Green)

Pioneer League = Sun Belt (the proverbial butt of the joke, will never get respect regardless)

SWAC = WAC (Plus S) .... (Membership issues, APR hits hard as Boise State leaving)
