If OU came (alone), it seems logical that they would be in the Western Division (assuming we didn't go to 4 pods) and someone would need to be added to the East.

Dislike Dabo, but (and it would likely never happen for many reasons) Clemson would seem to be an obvious choice. Also wouldn't happen, but Florida State would be a natural.

Not sure why people keep throwing out ACC schools. With the new ACC deal, no ACC school will be able to afford to leave now. That ship past in the night last week. No VT, NC State, UNC, Clemson or FSU. This new Grant of Rights locks them in.

IF the SEC expands, it will pretty much have to be west and don't be surprised if the new Big 12 deal doesn't include GORs.

I think we stay at 14 until major changes happen across the NCAA.

16 teams practically GUARANTEES pods.

Oklahoma and Oklahoma State would be added to the West, Bama and Auburn would move to the East. That would make the traditional rival games TSIO and Au/UGA remain annual because they would become divisional match-ups.

Divisions:

East
Alabama
Auburn
Florida
Georgia
Kentucky
South Carolina
Tennessee
Vanderbilt

West
Arkansas
LSU
Mississippi State
Missouri
Oklahoma
Oklahoma St.
Ole Miss
Texas a&M

ETA...this would also involve moving Missouri to the West...where they fit better geographically... Thanks to Herman for pointing out that Missouri does actually exist, and Auburn can't be in both divisions.
