SEC:
Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M
Alabama, Louisiana State, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, West Virginia

Even though this would make the "ultimate" football conference, I have several concerns with the scenario:

First, I was under the impression that OSU and OU were a couple and that the OK state legislature mandates the situation - so, if you want OU you have to take OSU.

Second, the LHN - how would you incorporate that into the SEC network? I find it hard to believe UT would just give it up.

Third, it's easier for UT and OU to win the Big12 than the SEC, thereby providing an easier path to the Final Four.

Last, I don't think there's enough money to lure UT and OU away. They're also the power brokers of the Big12 - I don't see them giving that up.

1. It's no so much that OU and OKST have to be taken as a pair, just that the Cowboys have to have a safe landing spot. In reality I think it's more about appeasing T. Boone Pickens. I'm not saying I know his mind but if OU goes to the SEC I don't think there would be an acceptable alternative.

2. The LHN network is an ESPN property, thus that a renegotiate at as they see fit if the goal is for Texas to join the SEC. But the Longhorn dreams of somehow or another being unique wouldn't continue.

3. This is a sticky wicket, but if the conferences are reduced down to a P4, the every CCG winner is essentially guaranteed a spot. Thus the real fight becomes internal to the conference.

4. This is the real insurmountable hurdle.

I really wouldn't want what I'm about to suggest but a move to 20 by the SEC would kill it. Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas, and West Virginia and whoever Texas wanted as the last school would do it. I just don't think that given the remaining timeline it will be necessary. You could get it done with just Texas, OU, OSU and Kansas. The ACC would likely take the Eers.
