I could definitely see Super Conferences dictating who gets in more in the future though. If you control all the power and money, why keep the door open for an outsider to win a championship?

ND has rivalries with PAC schools & B1G schools in football and due to their non-football sports being associated with the BigEast and now the ACC for a while they have rivalries with those schools as well. They could go wherever they wanted, but at the end of the day I do think they will go somewhere if this all comes to pass.

Swarbrick and ND have had a seat at the table in all the discussions about the CFP and expansion. With it going to 12, and the fact that a G5 team will get in, they still need to fill out the field with 6 at larges, if ND is deserving I don't see them being left out. The biggest problem, is if it does go full super conference, is that ND might have more difficulty getting a schedule put together. If we get to the point where teams are only playing 1/2 OOC games that makes it tough.

Auburn's historical opponents were always Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Alabama.
Alabama's historical opponents were LSU, Ole Miss, Tenn and Auburn.

The only scenario where Alabama goes to the east is if they move both Auburn and Alabama with the LSU game being Alabama's permanent cross rival. Absolutely nothing else would ever be agreed to and that won't happen because it would way overstack the east and Alabama isn't going to give up a cushy cross rival as they've had it super easy for years playing TN and Vandy unless they have to.

Auburn staying in the West and Alabama moving to the east is absolute non-sense, would never happen and the scenarios in your head are based off the last couple of years and dick to do with historical precedent. Alabama and Oklahoma will not be on top forever and Oklahoma is going to find out how hard it is to win a conference and it's debatable how often they will sniff the SECCG.

I saw 2 ideas. 1 was the pod system, but doesn’t do much for me.
The other was Texas, LSU, OU, A&M, MSU, Ole Miss, ark, and Mizzu in the west.. that seemed to make sense to me, though Mizzu is bit odd in there.. that pretty much keeps all historic rivals together

I think Tech is a reasonable addition for the PAC.

I know the school has been pushing hard to achieve Tier 1 AAU status as well.

The issue is that these other schools and leagues aren't going to ( or shouldn't be ) waiting around to see what happens

Obviously the B10 would rather have KU and ND but if you wait and then don't get ND then what ? If WVU is gone. Tech is gone. OKST is gone. Now what ?

B10 should be proactive here as should the other 8 teams in the B12
 
Heard on the radio that the addition of Oklahoma and Texas would generate $16 million more additional dollars per school in the SEC.

Don't have any idea how they came up with that, so that grain of salt thing.

I think the Big Ten might go after UNC and UVA -- both in that "academic" realm of things.

Yup. That's how it's going to be forced. Teams are oging to have fewer and fewer OOC games until ND is left playing non power teams to fill a schedule.
 
I would think that if this were to happen, all parties involved would want it to happen quickly and not wait for the 2024 GOR.
Would the SEC help out on that if they could bring on Oklahoma/Texas much quicker???

I mean that'd be great but i don't see either of those 2 doing that.

A lot of weird things are going to go down if Texas and OU leave to the SEC.

Maybe . UNC leaving Duke and NC State doesn't seem plausible to me though .
 
UNC and Kansas going to the BIG would be something basketball wise

Yeah, and that really sucks. OOC games are so much better than conference games IMO.

Radio guy said A&M leaked this rumor to get all this started and make Texas look desperate and that A&M won’t let em in...

I could see A&M being the leak if Texas really did approach the SEC. I don't see us just inventing it to make Texas look bad.

If it were just OU, yes. Since Texas is involved, I think there is pushback from at least 3 members.

They had their chance, and let us have a pretty sweet deal. I don't see ND joining anytime soon, if ever.

If the ACC can’t get ND to join, they will be the next Big 12

I think the East shits a brick if you propose sending both Auburn and Alabama into their division. For Auburn it’s no biggie because we play a tougher schedule already but I think Alabama bitches as well because they want recruiting paths into Texas.

I’m not opposed but it could be a fight.

Do you think this is actually happening?

The ACC is fine. They have enough of a football product to compete and they are getting better. Plus they are still king of basketball and probably second in baseball.

The PAC needs to make some major moves to improve their network appeal and time zone issues.
