RE: Hypothetical: Teams Leaving the SEC?
Was thinking about this and had this alignment come to mind. I don't think any school today would willingly leave the SEC unless: 1) they were offered the same or more money, 2) had a better chance of making the CFP, and/or 3) joined a conference with their academic, geographic, and institutional peers.
South Carolina regularly comes up as a school to head out and rejoin the ACC. I know Gamecocks fans hate this idea but it is an idea that comes up enough to consider. Missouri, likewise, openly verbalized their desire to be in the B1G. While there might be some hurt feelings there, I would think they'd still be interested.
What if...
SEC > South Carolina > ACC
ACC > Florida St, Georgia Tech, Louisville > SEC
SEC > Missouri > B1G
B1G > Penn St, Maryland, Rutgers > ACC
XII > Baylor > SEC
XII > West Virginia > ACC
