I think OU/tu to the SEC is still definitely not a done deal, and everything is just conjecture at this point. However, outside of the immediate ramifications in the SEC, how would it affect other conferences? Would other conferences actually risk diluting their distributions to becoming a Super conference as well? Would being a super conference even be beneficial for making the CFP, especially when there are 6 guaranteed autobids for the highest ranked conference champions?

I speculate it would look something like this:

-SEC West
Texas A&M
Texas
Oklahoma
Arkansas
Missouri
LSU
Ole Miss
Mississippi State

-SEC East
Alabama
Auburn
Georgia
Florida
Kentucky
South Carolina
Tennessee
Vanderbilt

-ACC South
Miami
FSU
Clemson
Georgia Tech
Duke
UNC
NC State
Wake Forest

-ACC North
Notre Dame
Boston College
Syracuse
Louisville
Pittsburgh
Virginia
Virginia Tech
West Virginia

-B1G East
Maryland
Rutgers
Penn State
Ohio State
Michigan
Michigan State
Indiana
Purdue

-B1G West
Illinois
Northwestern
Wisconsin
Oklahoma State
Iowa
Iowa State
Nebraska
Minnesota

-Pac 12 North
Oregon
Oregon State
Washington
Washington State
Utah
Colorado
Kansas
Kansas State

-Pac 12
Cal
Stanford
UCLA
USC
Arizona
ASU
Baylor???
TCU???

I could see Tech being left out and in the AAC due to their irrelevance in football the past decade and the fact that Pac12 teams probably don't want to go to Lubbock. I get could see either of the Baylols getting left out instead though. UH, SMU, and Boise St could also make a move to get picked up by the Pac 12. But i think the Pac12 takes one Texas school regardless. Maybe the B1G too. But it all comes down to how much dilution there is. Just me spitballing though.

Think smaller, say SEC steals the top 4 from each conference and makes a new college football league that pays players.

Boise State to Pac12 makes more sense than Baylol.

Kansas is going to the Big 10.

I'm not sure where to put them, though their basketball program is their redeeming factor. I don't know if they're tied at the hip with KSU. And if the the B1G would pass over OSU and ISU, which are currently the better football programs, for the Kansas schools.

Writers put stuff like this together becomes human beings like symmetry such as 4 conferences of 16 teams each but there won't be symmetry because the mere fact that adding OU and tu may make the SEC more money does not mean adding Taco Tech and Billy Bob's Dental Academy makes the ACC more money.

Yeah I acknowledged that in my post. Hence the multiple references to dilution. But adding ND would be a no-brainer for the ACC if NBC can no longer pay ND enough to be independent.

The entire college football world is about to be turned upside down.

It wouldn't surprise me to see a realignment that is very similar to the NFL in structure.

It's all about money now. Just like the NFL.

College Football, in the classical model, will soon be non-existent.

The SEC doesn't need to race to get to 16 teams. The SEC doesn't need to worry about super conferences. The SEC IS the super conference.

Texas and OU could join any other conference and that wouldn't change the fact that the SEC is the dominant conference. Period.

Why so many assuming the sips' wet dream will happen?
