The Big XII has already secured 4 on the western flank, now with the ACC being carved up the XII waits for the B1G and SEC to grab what they want. This leaves Pittsburgh and Louisville who have huge rivalries with Cincinnati and West Virginia. Having the Keg of Nails, and Backyard Brawl under the Big XII umbrella would be amazing. A very solid eastern flank, and throw in the budding rivalry with UCF for Cincinnati the Big XII will have a lot of historical rivalries that have been played among the 8 before the new era, and would have a lot of historical rivalries plus a budding one in the expanded era.

If you had 4 out west, Pitt, UL, GT, plus one (Duke, NC st?) would make a nice 20. Would greatly improve travel for the eastern wing.

Assuming Big adds Oregon n W State, VA, and UM would be good adds, SEC could take FSU, Clemson, NC, VT.
