STANDING PAT: BIG 10 (14), SEC (14), ACC (14), MAC (12), SUNBELT (10)

I have a question why go into Houston for the Big 12 when you could double up in Florida with USF? Surely the Big 12 had Houston already covered. I would see the Mountain West try to go back to 12. In your Scenario are they wanting to see how Dixie State does in the FCS? Could the Mountain West pick up any California FCS team from the Big West? Would San Diego be willing to add scholarships and move to the MWC?

I could see the Sun Belt also move back to 14. Maybe a Southland team for the west and a Big South team for the east.
