RE: Pac-16 Play-by-Play: How would realignment have shaken out in a Pac-16 scenario?

Had both parties been patient and the Big 12 schools explained that TAMU was out I think they would have come to terms with Kansas as #16.
The next moves depend on the disposition of the Big Ten and SEC. If there is a knee jerk reaction and both of them feel they have to match that 16 number things could get crazy.
If there is less knee jerk and more of a methodical approach Missouri goes to the SEC with TAMU in 2011. Nebraska joins the Big Ten at the same time.
I can see the ACC also going ahead and trying to pick up Pitt and Cuse, maybe in 2011, but they could wait a year or 2 more.
The Big Ten still ends up a little slow to the party with the Maryland/Rutgers pick up, and WVU gets a life line out of the Big East to replace Maryland in the ACC.
With 9 schools wanting out of the Big 12 in 2011, Iowa St, K St, and Baylor are all in a bit of a bind. I think the Big East takes them in for 2011, and they grab TCU for 12 (CCG). Pitt, Cuse, Rutgers, and WVU puts them back down to 8. At that point UCF, Memphis, ECU, and Navy round our your 12. (That is of course, unless you’re able to rig up something to get Utah, BYU, Boise St, and San Diego St to come over as fb only schools—if they could keep an AQ in the BCS/Playoff they might stand a chance at doing it)
PAC 16 West: Wash, Wash St, Ore, Ore St, Cal, Stanford, USC, UCLA
PAC 16 East: Ariz, Ariz St, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, OK St, Texas, TTU
Big 10: same as now
SEC: same as now
ACC Atlantic: BC, Cuse, WVU, NC St, WF, Clemson, FSU
ACC Coastal: Pitt, VT, UVA, UNC, Duke, GT, Miami
AAC East: UConn, Navy, UCF, USF, Cincinnati, ECU
AAC West: Louisville, Memphis, Iowa St, K St, TCU, Baylor
MWC Mountain: UNM, Colorado St, AFA, Wyoming, BYU, Utah
MWC West: Boise St, UNLV, Nevada, San Diego St, Fresno St, Hawaii
C-USA East: Marshall, UAB, USM, Charlotte, ODU, FIU
C-USA West: Tulane, Tulsa, Houston, SMU, Rice, UTEP
SBC: FAU, GA St, WKU, MTSU, Troy, USA, ULL, ULM, Ark St, UNT
WAC: Idaho, San Jose St, Utah St, NMSU, UTSA, Texas St, LA Tech
Flip FAU and FIU and put LaTech in CUSA instead of Charlotte and this makes sense.
