I’ve got this all figured out... I don’t know why they haven’t called me yet (maybe this has been mentioned before):
Consider yourself on the board.
1. OU and Texas go to the SEC to give them 16 teams. They are a part of the SEC west with TAMU, Arkansas, Mizzou, LSU, Ole Miss, and Miss St.
2. West Virginia goes to the ACC where they belong, the ACC then adds Cincy or UCF to give them 16 teams/17 teams w/ ND.
3. Okie State, KState, (KU) No, TCU or Houston and Tech go west to form the new Pac 16. They become part of the “East Division” with Arizona, ASU, Colorado, and Utah.
4. Iowa State and Kansas go to the Big Ten (now called the Big 16 AKA B16) (along with Notre Dame) No, to give them 16 teams. West division: ISU, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Northwestern. East Division: Purdue, Ohio State, Michigan, MSU, PSU, (ND) No, Indiana, Maryland, Rutgers
Above changes.
5. Baylor and TCU head down to the Mountain West or AAC. Sorry TCU. Suck it Baylor.
I could see ND staying independent in all of this, I could also see them having a bidding war and going to the ACC (ND already partialy in ACC)(then the ACC adds them instead of Cincy or UCF). In that case, KU goes to the newly formed B16 instead, and TCU their spot in the Pac 16s east division. Baylor can still suck a fat one.
Welcome to the “Power 4” era of college football.
