Clemson is an SEC school living in ACC country. Them and Florida State make a whole lot of sense. Texas to the SEC broke the idea that the SEC wouldn't take an in-state rival. 

Clemson and Florida State to SEC. That's 18.  Duke / UNC to Big Ten along with USC & UCLA to get to 18.  Is anyone major left out at that point?

B12 should've been patient

Yeah, it may still happen but there would have been much better Pac 12 options than the teams they added.

They can add Pittsburgh and Colorado. Fun times. 

I bet it goes the other way and the P12 kills the B12 now

SEC may need to be proactive and look at FSU, Miami, Clemson, UNC, Duke, NC State, UVA, and VaTech before the B1G does. Though still no idea how you have a conference with 24 fucking members.

The only way that works is when the SEC and B1G breakaway and create a 48-team super-DIV1 and make the AFC and NFC.  Then they can stage their own sides of the playoff bracket and meet in the College Super Bowl.

If they're looking west I bet UW and UO are on the list. Will 20 become the new magic number? Who would SEC want after FSU and Clemson?

Miami too?  That gets you to 19.  As someone with best friends who are OSU grads, part of me would love to see OSU sneak in as 20th team.  Maintain OU/Texas rivalries and makes as much sense geographically as anyone else.

That's my secret wish too. If not Miami, maybe they'd take OSU and KU for the western flank. Reunite Bedlam and the Border War and provide a regular OSU-Arky matchup with has rivalry potential.

It could but I'm not sure. 

Pac 12 schools like Oregon are going to be looking to bail. Do you join a conference where the top schools are still looking to get out?

I could see Virginia Tech, Clemson, Florida State and Miami to the SEC.

If I'm the P12 I'd invite Tech, OSU BYU, ISU, KU and KState

I think that is where I would lean as well. Allows them to keep a semi-regional, allows Tech to stay in one division and the rest in the other

Something like:

Stanford, Oregon, OSU, Cal, WU, WSU, Zona and ASU

Utah, Colorado, one of Baylor/UH/?,  OSU BYU, ISU, KU and KState

This is going to make this season's Rose Bowl pretty awkward. 

A Pac 12 and Big 12 merger almost has to happen. 

I don't know how it goes down but it's the only way both conferences can maybe survive. 

WVU to the ACC as their 16th

P12 takes Tech, OSU, KSU, KU, ISU and BYU

Then you have your four 16 team conferences.

I feel like Oregon and Washington jump next. 

If UCLA were tethered, I don't think things would be this far down the road.  

The interesting thing to me is whether the Big Ten stops at taking two or not.  The Big 12 could probably make a real run at Arizona, Utah, etc., now, too.  Maybe SDSU gets a look as a tagalong.

I would hope UCF, WVU, and Cincy are left out, geography would be fucked. Leave BU out too because rape is bad, and BYU because fuck them too.

Should have happened a decade or so ago imo

Baylor getting screwed would be delicious.

So this assumes Notre Dame becomes full time ACC?  I'm behind... would they willingly give up indy status in this world of 4 16 team conferences?

Same. That's why I wouldn't bail if I'm a Big 12 school. 

The top Pac 12 schools are still looking to get out but the Pac and Big 12 have to find some way to make this work. 

Welcome to the job, Commissioner Yormark, lol.

No choices anymore. They're in the conference for all intents and purposes already.

Let the new Big XII commissioner be in charge too, the PAC guy sucked and failed in his attempt to mimic the Big 10.

No, Notre Dame will still stay on the sidelines with the thought that their brand will get them in the playoff. With an expanded playoff, they'll have a seat if they win 10 games. 

 

Lots of people coming to the conclusion that the B12 is about to have some serious buyers remorse

That's why this piecemeal shit is infuriating. If you sit still you die. If you wait for the next domino it might never fall. Sit down and work this out holistically already.

Without Oregon how much value does the Pac 12 have? 

Zero. But really how much value does Oregon bring without Nike's money? But yes, if Oregon is there, you go ahead and take them.

Or maybe the Big 12 is stupid and that's why Texas and OU left? 

I think the Big 10 takes a few more Pac 12 schools and the Big 12 takes the best of the rest.

While I can fault the Big 12 for panicking, it was an eat or be eaten situation when we pulled the pin on the grenade.

Pac 12 probably calls up Boise and San Diego State.

Poor leadership drove off the Big 12's revenue producers and now their desire to backfill to the extent they did may be what finally kills them.

Easier for the remaining P12 teams to kill off the B12 imo

Only one way to settle this.   Best pac 12 team plays the best big 12 team.   Winner becomes the incumbent conference

Depends on if UO and UW get the call or not. They already had worse viewership than the new B12 and taking away the top 4 makes that exponentially worse.

The 6 schools I listed going to the P12 makes more money than adding a few schools from the P12 to the bastardized B12.

If I'm a bigger name brand in the B12 I'd much rather be associated with the schools in the west than who the B12 added.

Who are the "bigger name brands" worth poaching in the Big 12?

KU, OSU, and Tech?
