re: For the first time in decades the SEC may be surpassed as the nation's top conference

I don’t think there is any point in 20 because certain teams are not coming without another instate partner in the transition. UVA+VT and UNC+NCST may get forced by their legislatures.

24 teams is the better number anyway. Essentially split up into two 12 team conferences. 4 division winners play in a conference playoff.
