BUT, the Big12 is too west and southwest to be dispersed east, so the SEC, ACC, and B1G would have to do some team swapping for this to geographically make sense.

ACC needs 2.
B1G needs 2
SEC needs 2.
PAC 12 needs 4.

I highly doubt the ACC or B1G would take WVU.

If Notre Dame isn't in one of the 16 team conferences, what's the point of going from P5 to P4?

If ND wants to be left out of a P4 to preserve their independence, that's their prerogative. The conferences don't need to do anything to accommodate ND.
