RE: If the SEC did expand again and did so from the Big 12 who should we take and why?

Looks like they can pick up all of the tier 3 content out of the FOX merger
6 team playoff with each of the 5 conference champions plus a wild card.
PAC
Arizona, ASU, USC, UCLA, Cal, Stanford, Oregon, OSU, Washington, WSU, Utah, and BYU (football only)
Big 12
Nebraska, Colorado, ISU, KSU, Kansas, Oklahoma, OSU, Texas, TTU, Baylor, TCU, Louisville
SEC
Missouri, Arkansas, LSU, A&M, Ole Miss, MSU, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Tenn, Vandy, Kentucky, South Carolina
ACC
BC, Syracuse, West Virginia, Maryland, UVa, VT, NCSU, Wake Forest, Duke, Carolina, Clemson Georgia Tech, Miami, Florida State
B1G
Rutgers, Penn State, Pitt, OSU, MSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Purdue, Indiana, Illinois, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Minn., Iowa
I don't think that happens, but if it did why in the heck would the Big 12 want Louisville if they have given up W.V.U.? With that lineup B.Y.U. makes a lot more sense. Especially since I don't see the Cali schools changing their position on the Cougars.
Why not just regionalize:
ACC/SEC
Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Virginia Tech
Clemson, Duke, North Carolina, N.C. State, South Carolina, Wake Forest
Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Miami
Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana State, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Texas A&M
B1G
Boston College, Notre Dame, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Rutgers
Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Purdue, Ohio State
Iowa, Iowa State, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin
PAC
Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas
Arizona, Arizona State, Cal Los Angeles, Southern Cal, Texas Tech, Utah
California, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, Washington, Washington State
G5 Promotion to P5 Conference
Baylor, Houston, Kansas State, T.C.U., S.M.U.
Central Florida, East Carolina, Memphis, South Florida, Tulane
Cincinnati, Connecticut, Louisville, Temple, West Virginia
Boise State, Brigham Young, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State
This way nobody really violates their conference standards, the regions are emphasized while increasing the PAC's market. The Big 10 gets the Northeast / New England area. The ACC & SEC keep their cores together and tighten the regions together, and a new conference is promoted giving us the extra games we need to help keep the win/loss bell curve in order.
That's 80 schools which accounts for most of those who might have a beef about being left out.
