Good points JRsec. Ultimately I agree/like the idea of a 4 x 18 "P4", which would make for a natural playoff format. I think your point on engaging the entire country/advertisers for the course of an entire college football cannot be overstated...great point. Assuming the Big12 is disbanded and all 10 teams land in conferences (which they would), that only leaves 5 spots open to get to 72 (assuming ND joins ACC full-time). In that event I see plenty of other options happening for the SEC to get to 18 before Cincy gets the call, which would probably include at least 2-3 Big12 programs (WVU for sure, KS State as KU will go B1G, and maybe Baylor and/or TCU). ECU would likely get an invite before Cincy...their seat at the table will be in the ACC.
