The ACC will divide the 15 full members into three pods. When conference tournaments are approved the winner of each of the pods will play along with the highest ranked remaining team that will include partials (Texas and Notre Dame) to decide the conference champ. This puts both of those teams into the process of playing for a conference championship as a qualifier for the national championship tournament.
Those pods will be :
North: Boston College, Syracuse, Pitt, West Virginia and Louisville
Central: UVa, Carolina, Dook, Georgia Tech and Miami
South: Virginia Tech, NCSU, Wake Forest, Clemson, and Florida State
Texas and Notre Dame will each play 5 ACC games per year.

The B1G and the SEC can fight it out for Oklahoma and Kansas.

ESPN gets their east coast conference, Notre Dame gets to stay independent and Texas can continue to play almost all of their games within the state of Texas.

That's actually a creative and sweet set up. I approve and applaud.

Creative as in completely imaginary because it is saying that this could possibly happen without the placement of every Big 12 program.

It seems you are all about creativity despite a lack of possibility these days JR.

Shotgun method?

That is our long term plan.
1-conference tournaments are coming
2-it gives the now two independents a path to the national championship from within a conference so that they can't leapfrog any of the 4 champions into the tournament. This means that neither Texas nor Notre Dame will ever take the spot that belongs to the B1G, PAC or SEC.
3-the ACC will have accounted for 17 of the 65 teams. How you guys divide up the last 48 between the B1G, SEC and PAC is up to you. Were done here.
