I think the end game is the SEC and B1G expanding their footprints and brands exponentially, creating a massive conference content provider with significant exposure across multiple platforms and distributors (not unlike the NFL, which isn't tied to one network, but shared among several). So, here we go:

SEC adds Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, TCU, Iowa State and West Virginia from the Big 12, and Clemson, Florida State, Louisville, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Miami and NC State from the ACC. That gets them to 28 total teams. I go back and forth, but I do not see Vanderbilt leaving. When they see other programs like Stanford, Northwestern, Notre Dame, etc. staying in, I think they push forward too (especially because no school in their right mind would willingly give up the fees and monies that are projected for years and decades down the road).

The B1G adds Arizona, California, UCLA, Colorado, Oregon, USC, Stanford, Washington and Utah from the PAC, Kansas from the Big 12, and Virginia, North Carolina and Duke from the ACC, and Notre Dame. That get's them to 28 teams as well.

So, who gets left out, unfortunately? Well, that would be Washington State, Oregon State and Arizona State from the PAC-12, Baylor and Kansas State from the Big 12, Boston College, Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Wake Forest from the ACC.

Each Super Conference would be composed of four divisions of seven, with six divisional games and one rotating game from each of the other three divisions, creating a nine-game conference schedule. Divisional champions would meet, followed by a conference semifinal, then the conference championship. The conference champions (SEC/B1G) would then meet in a National Championship game.
