All this movement and it just seems like the Pac 12 will implode and the Big 12 will just end up a slightly better Conference USA. Who will be the Big 12's top football power at the end of the day? TCU... Oklahoma St? No one near blue blood status there.

Pretty clear we're headed to 2 major super conferences like the NFC and AFC in the NFL. I don't like it at all, but the SEC will have to react if for nothing else than to protect the home turf. That's why bringing in FSU, UNC, UVA and either Clemson or NC State makes sense. Geography matters to me, but apparently not to TPB. But I'd still like the SEC to stay rational with geographic footprint...unlike the Big Ten.

If Utah goes, then I think it's quite likely that the Utes end up on top.

I think Arizona State's is a place with a lot of undeveloped potential.
