Here's my mock conference outlook based partially on info that's floating around and partially what might happen as a result...

Pac 16 W
WSU, UW, Ore, OrSt, Stan, Cal, Ucla, USC
Pac 16 E
Ariz, ArizSt, OkSt, Okla, Tex, TTU, Bay, TAM

Super 16
Neb, Minn, Iowa, IowaSt, Kan, KSU, Illin, Wisc, Mizz, Mich, MichSt, Ind, OhioSt, PennSt, NW, Pur

ACC
BC, Miami, UNC, Duke, NCSt, WF, Mary, UVA

SEC W
Ala, Miss, Aub, LSU, MissSt, Ark, Louisville, FSU, Van

SEC E
UT, UF, UGA, SoCar, UK, VT, GT, Clem, WVU

Colorado would join the Mountain West (along with Boise State)

I, like most SEC fans, would love it if the Big 12 South joined the SEC, but this mock is based on the most prevalent info (misinfo) out there right now. The Big 10 would become the Super 16 and I would have no clue how to configure their divisions because an east-west setup would likely put Mich, OhioSt, and PennSt in one division. Basically the ACC would go back to being a Basketball conference. I KNOW IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN LIKE THIS. It's just my opinion, that said, fire away.

I don't think Clemson, Ga Tech or Louisville would help the SEC financially.

SECW all the sudden looks like the easy conf. Not sure about Louisville joining the SEC. It will be very interesting to see how all this plays out.

I did like the idea of the SEC 16 with Texas, FSU, Texas Tech and Clemson. It worked out where our schedule would remain the same for the most part and would make the SEC even more powerful

To much speculation floating around to narrow it down to anything right now. The first team to actually make a move will signal the feeding frenzy and the conferences will realign quickly.

I don't get why anyone would want Texas, Oklahoma, VT, FSU, etc. in the SEC if you're a UT fan. We're already struggling as it is with UF, Bama, LSU, UGA, and Auburn. I don't want to add anymore powerhouses.

I personally don't understand why UF and Bama would want this either. I understand the money deal, but it's going to get real old when we just don't have a chance every year.

I want the SEC to stay exactly the way it is! I dont like the idea of super conferences at all (16 teams, two 8 team divisions). The SEC is perfect right now, and if it aint broke dont fix it! I agree with the big ten adding 1 team, so they can have 2 divisions and have a championship game, and the PAC ten adding 2. Whatever maybe im just a traditionalist.

No way Va Tech or Louisville get invites to the SEC. Any four among FSU, Texas, A&M, WVU and Clemson make sense to me. UNC would be nice too, but it won't happen.

I especially like any combination that includes FSU and Clemson, as they are easily the two biggest football fan bases in the ACC, and losing them would destroy ACC football (especially regarding bowl tie-ins)

If the other super conferences are built with powerhouses and the SEC 16 is built with second tier programs, the SEC will then have little chance at a NC similar to the way Boise State and TCU had virtually no shot at a NC last season.

I agree with you, but if the Big 10 and/or Pac 10 decide to jump to 16, the SEC better not stay as is or it will be left behind and become broken beyond repair.

Tell me when Bama, LSU, Florida, and Georgia become TCU.

When there are two other super conferences at 16 built with Powerhouses and the SEC remains at 12.

It won't happen though. The SEC will react and add the best available teams when/if the other conferences goto 16.

I don't get the logic there. As long as the SEC keeps Bama, Florida, LSU, Georgia, UT, and Auburn, we'll remain in the national championship conversation every year.

Regardless, if you're a UT fan and we expand to include teams like Texas, Oklahoma, FSU, and VT, it is going to be a long, bad road for Tennessee.

I don't see WV coming on board because of the lower academic standards at WV. We know most kids who cant make it academically end up making it in at WV.

If the SEC expands I would relly prefer 14 at the most....I don't want to lose Bama on our sched every year.

Explain to me the difference between LSU academics and WVU academics... and then explain how said academic standards are relevant to playing sports?
