The PAC doesn't expand. Why? Because they don't care about expansion and aren't football crazy. In fact they aren't sports crazy, just politically crazy.

Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to the SEC. Why? They are football crazy and identify more with the South.

The Big 10 adds Kansas pushes for Virginia Tech and settles for Connecticut. Why? Because they still want to pursue the Northeast if it kills them.

The ACC adds Cincinnati and West Virginia as full members and N.D. remains a partial. Why? You need new markets for the network and you will still be sucking up to N.D. at the end of the day.

T.C.U., Baylor, Kansas State and Iowa State join the AAC. Why? Because they nowhere else to go!

ESPN gets everything they care to own and that winds it up for quite sometime to come.

This is boring like when you watch a show after seeing a spoiler lol

This is probably exactly the way it'll be. The SEC will offer big money (the biggest of all) to the two XII gems, little brothers included. The PAC has no real players for expansion that they seem to like. The B1G will take Kansas and Connecticut. The ACC will never get Notre Dame to go all in without the CFP committee essentially saying it must or no championship - so Cincinnati and West Virginia find a home there.

I can easily see Iowa St and Kansas St heading to the AAC but I wouldn't be surprised if TCU and Baylor headed to the MWC. Although, the AAC would likely be a bit more attractive even without Cincinnati and Connecticut.

PAC - same

B1G
West: Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Northwestern, Purdue
East: Indiana, Michigan, Michigan St, Ohio St, Penn St, Maryland, Rutgers, Connecticut

SEC
West: Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Missouri
Central: Arkansas, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi St, Alabama, Auburn
East: Kentucky, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina

ACC
Atlantic: Boston College, Cincinnati, Clemson, Florida St, Louisville, North Carolina St, Syracuse, Wake Forest
Coastal: Duke, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Virginia, Virginia Tech, West Virginia
*Notre Dame partial*

AAC (zipper model - across from annual rival)
Blue: Iowa St, TCU, Baylor, Tulane, Central Florida, Memphis, Temple
Red: Kansas St, SMU, Houston, Tulsa, South Florida, East Carolina, Navy

Uh, no. There are intricacies to the SEC that must be maintained. And then there is Arkansas that would love to be reunited with Texas and have Oklahoma to play.

So it would look like this:

Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas Tech

Alabama, Auburn, Louisiana State, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Texas A&M

Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt

Crossover rivals would have to be maintained.

If A&M was to ever stomach Texas they would need to be in a different division. L.S.U. is an old time rival of A&M. If this move happened these divisions would be needed to maintain the peace.

If TN is to stomach this expansion, we still have to play Bama. Can't eliminate corssover rivals.

There's no doubt about it. Tennesee / Alabama has to be cross divisional so that Tennessee can keep Kentucky and Vanderbilt.

Auburn/Georiga has to be cross divisional so that Georgia can keep Tennessee and Florida.

A&M/Texas would have to be cross divisional so that that rivalry can be renewed.

And there are others.

I totally misread your post. I read "crossover rivals would have to be eliminated" not "maintained."

However, that does create a weird schedule. 5-1-3? It would take eight years to rotate through the 11 teams left over.
