Conferences Realignments Announced

RUTS headquarters announced the conference realignments for RUTS4, Season 1. In what Commissioner Haag called "one of the most competitive, rivalry-filled alignments in history," RUTS4 will utilize revamped versions of the Southeastern Conference and the Pac 12 Conference.

"With the exception of Michigan, every RUTS-coached team has a natural rival who is also being coached by a RUTS coach," Haag said. "This should make for some great conference match ups and create even more drama in these storied rivalries." 

Each conference will be split into 2 divisions, as shown below...RUTS teams are bolded:


NORTH
Oregon, Michigan, Washington, Oregon State, Stanford, California

(Michigan replaces Washington State, who moves to the Mountain West Conference. Notre Dame moves to the Big 10 to replace Michigan.)

SOUTH
USC, Oklahoma, Texas, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State

(Oklahoma & Texas replace Colorado and Utah, who move to the Big 12)

Location of conference title game is To Be Determined!






EAST
Tennessee, Florida State, Miami, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky

(FSU and Miami replace South Carolina and Vandy, who will move to the ACC like they were in RUTS3)

WEST
