I'm salivating over the hairbrained idea of the sec as follows:
West: OK, UT, A&M, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Alabama, Auburn
East: Ark, UGA, FLA, Tenn, Vandy, USC, Kentucky, FSU
If 16 team conferences are inevitable, I can't be the only one who prefer it look like the following:
Big 16
PAC 16
SEC (16)
ACC/Big East hybrid (16) **would likely need CUSA teams**
MWC/WAC/B12 hybrid (16)
MAC/CUSA hybrid (16)
Leftover teams from Sun Belt, CUSA, MAC, MWC, WAC (16)
Notre Dame and the service academies (3)
That would mean a few teams would have to move down to 1-aa, but I'm fine with that. Or just add 8 more teams (I think) to go to eight 16 team conferences.
