Good question, if it comes to a total implosion, I could see Oregon and Washington going to one of the two remaining conferences and possibly Cal and Stanford as well. Say the four join the Big 10 that would be interesting. I saw one guy say why not Oregon to the SEC. Who knows what's going to happen.

No offense, but I hope you guys don’t come to the SEC. You guys would bring a great value and brand, but it would just be wrong . You couldn’t get more opposite of the Southeastern Conference than Oregon and Washington.

The SEC got two markets with a rabid nationwide following. BIG got two big markets with a luke warm following.


The markets matter but the SEC's move garnered many more viewers.... Not potential viewers, but viewers.

Not true. The most game with the most viewers last year was, 1. Ohio State vs Michigan, 2. Alabama vs Georgia (SEC championship), 3. Michigan vs Iowa (Big Ten championship, 4. Auburn vs Alabama, 5. Michigan vs Michigan State,

I think the SEC will pick up Notre Dame , Clemson , Miami and FSU to get to 20 even teams cause the ACC will be done and the rest of the ACC teams will go to the big ten. There will be only two super conferences in a decade.

And the winners of each conference play for the NC.

I don't see how this is related to my statement of getting more actual viewers by adding Texas and OK than BIG adding LA teams. LA is notorious for their luke warm following.

The rest of the Top 10 all featured Southern teams, so I'm not sure that your point holds up.

Imagine never being a program that’s part of the big boys and have to be rivals with directional schools and other midmajor riff raff that can’t even draw a crowd of 70k 😂😂😂

This is 2010 logic, cable subscribers isn't a thing teams arr planning for. The future of media is streaming so it jusy matters that yeams have large fan bases. No, this is all about NIL.

The issue for the SEC is if the Big 10 wants to expand south it would be for recruiting. The SEC doesn't need FSU or Clemson but do they want Ohio State playing in Tallahassee every year or Michigan playing in Clemson where an Atlanta recruit can make a day trip? Georgia Tech almost went to the Big Ten several years ago and the reason was the Big Ten wanted a southern pipeline so a Penn State could have recruits come see them when they play GT in Atlanta.

The SEC may not need these teams but they may not want the Big Ten to have them either. And at some point does the SEC cast off teams? Does MS State or Mizzou really bring anything?

Agree but I think SEC will at least try to add FSU and Miami to keep the B1G from expanding into Florida.

I think inevitably the SEC will get Clemson, FSU , Miami, UNC, NC ST, Virginia and Va. Tech and Louisville, Duke and Georgia Tech. The rest of the ACC will go to the big Ten. That would give the SEC 24 teams. The divisions will stay as the East and West with 12 teams in them and everyone will play 10 conference games.

Well while we're having fun realigning the universe of college athletics... How about this, the ACC and PAC-12 merge with maybe Okla St, Baylor, BYU, Iowa St, Kansas or some other universities balancing out the West.

I think that Duke, UNC, Ga Tech and UVA could end up in the B1G. I think they would be a better cultural fit in the B1G than the SEC. The amount of smug between those 4 should be an automatic qualifier (this coming from a Duke fan mind you) . I’ve always thought of Clemson, FSU, Va Tech and even NC State as a good fit culturally for the SEC. I have no idea where Miami fits though. Maybe the AFC East? If Duke and UNC end up in the B1G that is NC States only hope of being included in the expansion. If UNC and Duke are a package deal and somehow get pulled into the SEC, State will be on the outside looking in and sharing a conference division with ECU, Charlotte, App and Coastal.

I think the Big 10 is going after ND big time at this very moment. Wouldn't be surprised to see something before the end of today.

They should be. I grew up on Tobacco Road, I’m pretty well versed in the ACC. I’ve never thought Notre Dame should be a member of the ACC. Other than academics it never made sense. Everything about the big 10 makes more sense . Geographically, rivals, academics fit as well. Now with USC it makes even more sense.

UNC and NC St and Duke have to be a package deal. Do you think the SEC will pick up Oklahoma St? It doesn’t feel right that Oklahoma and OSU won’t be in the same conference. I would hate to see the Bedlam game go away.

B1G won't get Duke or Georgia Tech. Not worth it. UNC and UVA is a possibility but I think SEC ends up with UNC in the long run.

I would love for the SEC to get Okie State. Probably a minority POV, but I’m all for keeping rivalries alive. I would like to see OU and Ok State continue to play and have Bedlam be a part of the New SEC.

You’re probably right, but I think the Big 10 getting a team in the heart of SEC country in Atlanta could matter. Duke and Northwestern could get along together. They already play every year it seems like . In terms of TV, Duke would bring basketball eyeballs, plus probably a bigger draw in the Northeast than Rutgers (not joking about this).
