College football looks a lot different this year between the new 12-team College Football Playoff and several teams in new conferences. We're here to remind you about the latter because, let's face it, it's a lot to keep track of with so many recent realignment moves.

Among the many changes, teams like Oklahoma and Texas are in the SEC; a bunch of West Coast teams are part of the Big Ten; Stanford, Cal and SMU are in the ACC; and the Pac-12 (RIP) is basically no more with just Washington State and Oregon State left.
