Why do people think that the Big 12 would be a superconference over the ACC? I hate the ACC but they have more members and they have a bigger geographic footprint. It would also make more sense geographically for the Pac 12 to poach four teams from the Big 12, the SEC and BIG to take two each, and the ACC to take whatever is leftover.

Personally I want UNC and Virginia Tech for the SEC.

The biggest question is whether or not ND joins a conference. If they do, they join the BIG, which then adds one more team to get to 16. Then the SEC follows suit, followed by the other conferences.

If the four super conferences are the Pac 12, BIG, SEC and Big 12, the Pac 12 would have to find four random western teams to add and the Big 12 would go from the plains over SEC and BIG territory to the coast. This might work for the big 12 if there was a east/west concept, but 9/10 teams are in the west with only WV in the east. They would have to kick out a team or just screw one over by putting it in the east.

I think it would look like one of these two options:

BIG- current 14 members + UVA + ND or Duke/UNC
SEC- current 14 members + Virginia Tech + UNC/NCST
Big 12- current 10 members + FSU + Miami + Clemson + leftover NC member (excluding WF) + Georgia Tech + 2nd NC member (including WF) or Pitt/Syracuse
Pac 12- current 12 members + Boise St. + BYU + San Diego St + UNLV
(Cool idea: Big 12 gives TCU to Pac 12 and then adds another ACC team for equal 8 team east/west divisions)

OR

SEC- Current 14 members + Oklahoma + Texas (if aTm allows it)
BIG- Current 14 members + OK ST + ND/Kansas
Pac 12- Current 12 members + TCU + KSU + 2/4 of Kansas/Baylor/Texas Tech/Iowa State
ACC- Current 14 + West Virginia + Cincy or Uconn
