Auburn just needs to find a group of five conference or move to the ACC.

ACC?

I wouldn’t be completely opposed to moving to the ACC, actually. It could be a better fit culturally with some of the finest universities in the South such as Virginia, Duke, UNC, Georgia Tech, etc.

However,

A) Notre Dame would have to join the ACC 100% (this would be a requirement)
B) No major ACC football power would be allowed to replace Auburn in the SEC (Clemson)
C) Iron Bowl is protected

Football: Dividing ACC into ACC North (dominated by Notre Dame) and ACC South (dominated by Auburn and Clemson) could be beneficial longterm, esp since an inevitable clash between Texas and Alabama will likely destroy or at least destabilize the SEC anyways (worst case). Best case and still undesirable: Texas eventually becomes Alabama-West and these two programs (Texas and Alabama) will largely dictate SEC politics in the future.
