So I take it the Big 12 would no longer be considered a power conference then, right? Sure BYU and to some degree K-State add pedigree, in addition to fellow former BCS AQ members ISU, UCONN, USF, and Temple (in lesser capacity). But this conference has no where near the strength of the rest of the power conferences. It's a tweener just as the AAC is in our reality.

You got it. I think the Big 12 here is better off than the AAC of our timeline, but still not a power conference.

Big 10 was thinking of going to 22 teams. They could go to 24 teams.

West:
Oklahoma
Kansas
Texas
Nebraska
Iowa
Minnesota

Central:
Illinois
Wisconsin
Northwestern
Michigan
Michigan State
Indiana

East:
Purdue
Notre Dame
Penn State
Ohio State
Rutgers
Maryland

Southeast:
Florida State
Georgia Tech
Clemson
North Carolina
Virginia
Vanderbilt


I do not know if SEC could compete with that lineup for viewerships.
