RE: If the SEC did expand again and did so from the Big 12 who should we take and why?
An expansion that includes Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas is the PAC's best possible move. And it would give the PAC a nice border with the SEC and B1G.
If UT, OU, and KU stick together and head to the PAC or SEC, would Nebraska (or Missouri) consider to join them?
If UT, OU, and KU head to the PAC, the B1G and SEC could pick the best of the ACC and then the ACC and Big 12 leftovers merge - and we end up with a P4. Restructure the P4 conference divisions and get Conference Championship TOURNAMENTS and you could have a de-facto playoff first and second rounds that spills into the 4-team CFP - with de-facto bids for the P4 champs.
