College football looks a lot different this year, with the addition of the new 12-team College Football Playoffs and several teams in new conferences. We’re here to remind you of the latter, because let’s face it, with so much restructuring going on lately, there’s a lot to keep track of.
Among the many changes, teams like Oklahoma and Texas are now in the SEC, a number of West Coast teams are in the Big Ten, Stanford, Cal and SMU are in the ACC, and the Pac-12 (RIP) is essentially defunct with only Washington State and Oregon State remaining.
