The travel out there isn't that bad when you realize you're flying into Salt Lake City which has a good sized airport.
We won't take BYU. The Big 12 does NOT recognize BYU as a P5 Opponent....though they are an Independent. We won't take them football only. They won't play on Sundays, which is huge for the minor sports. If we are going to fly we will be more likely to take UCONN which gives WVU an opponent in the same time zone. Doubt that we go back west and stretch things to 3 time zones.
Doubt that the ACC implodes. Just won't happen IMO. So you are likely left with choices from the AAC. Take your pick from those and you are left with Cinci, UCONN, Memphis.
Cinci is probably a lock. And when you take Cinci, you have decided the direction you will go.....which is East. Now do you take Memphis.....or UCONN. Both would jump at the chance.
In any case you would have a North Division of the 2 Kansas schools, Iowa State, WVU and the 2 new schools in one division. South Division would be 4 Texas schools and 2 Oklahoma schools.
If we have learned anything, it is that having a weak division really means nothing when it comes to the CFP. It is entirely possible that from the North Division a team will be in the Championship game that could be undefeated or only have 1 loss and maybe 2 losses. And with that kind of record they will be rated. That is the reality and the absurdity of the CFP. Having a team like a UCONN in football doesn't really hurt. Look at Rutgers of the B1G.
UCF has also been talked about as a possibility.
