Then the SEC jump in and grab Oklahoma St. and Kansas. It gets you a solid group of 60 schools + ND and UCONN in a P4 alignment that'll at least give fans a chance of seeing traditional rivalries restored (especially in the ACC). Of course this Big 12 wouldn't kill off the Big 12, and I'm sure they'll be able to pick off 2-8 teams from the AAC and MWC to stay P5, but they may be perceived as a lesser P5 by that point (maybe like C-USA grabbing a bunch of FCS schools to stay G5) making it seem like there is only a P4.
Teams left out from XII: Baylor, BYU, Central Florida, Houston, Iowa St, Kansas St, TCU, Texas Tech
What’s wild to me is every school that fell under the Big East football banner makes it in except South Florida and Temple. Both of whom could join Memphis and SMU for a solid new XII.
PAC / B1G stay as-is.
