RE: Could This Year's CFP Speed Up Realignment?
Should the B1G, PAC, and XII get passed over for SEC #1, SEC #2, ACC #1, and Notre Dame...
The B1G and PAC will want to maximize "firepower" which, essentially, means Oklahoma. Texas will add money but the best opportunity for the CFP and football championships is Oklahoma.
The B1G offers Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Connecticut. This breathes a little life into football, basketball, academics, markets, etc.
The PAC looks to central time zone schools and offers TCU, Houston, Texas Tech, Oklahoma St, Kansas St, and Iowa St. This looks a little bit like patchwork realignment but it gets the job done.
West Virginia goes independent. The ACC and SEC keep tabs on the Mountaineers.
B1G
West: Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois
North: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Indiana, Purdue, Michigan St
East: Michigan, Ohio St, Penn St, Maryland, Rutgers, Connecticut
PAC
North: Washington, Washington St, Oregon, Oregon St, California, Stanford
South: USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona St, Utah, Colorado
Central: Texas Tech, TCU, Houston, Oklahoma St, Kansas St, Iowa St
