I posted on another thread, I think the SEC grabs Clemson and Fla State. I think the SEC wants 24 teams- three 8 team "subconferences"- stretching in a geographic continuity from Texas to the South Atlantic.

We have 16 teams with Texas and OU. That leaves 8 more spots, and you can bring in the heart of the ACC with those 8-
Clemson, Fla State, UNC, NC State, Duke, Virginia, and 2 of: Va Tech, Miami, Georgia Tech, maybe Wake Forest.

That gives you anywhere from 4 six team groups, 3 eight team groups, or 2 twelve team groups. Those groups would basically be the same as the East/West divisions we had, but adding one (or 2). Almost their own conferences, but still under the SEC flag and administration.

It would lock up the South for major college football (the elite talent base), and still maintain a lot of natural rivalries so those groups would be fun. And like Scrooster says in the other thread, it would also give the SEC the NC/Va market for TV viewers.

I don't necessarily think the SEC desired this to happen, but the Big 10 is pushing huge changes in the CFB landscape, with their raid on the Pac 12. Let's remember, that was their longtime business partner, those two conferences were very close, tied together with the Rose Bowl, and would vote in unison (2 of the P5 conferences, meaning they had the advantage in almost every P5 vote). If the Big 10 would stab the Pac in the back, I don't think any other conference, particularly the SEC, can trust them. So I think the SEC is preemptively going to lock up the Southern part of the country.
