I’m willing to say that the endgame is four 16 team conferences for the P5

RE: Realignment Coming?
I really think Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU, and Oklahoma State would block Houston. The greater Houston area has some of the best talent in the nation. Why would those programs want to elevate UH to their level and have an even harder time competing with them for their local talent?

The leftovers in the AAC would have to start a new P7 campaign, while the Big12 tries to convince the rest of the power conferences that they are still a member.

In that battle attrition, there are currently 65 power teams, that leaves to question, who will be the one left out in that scenario?

Boy, wouldn't it be something if it were WVU after all of the dust is settled? If they were number 65?

Notre Dame will stay independent as a gigantic blue blood.

It depends how depleted the MWC would be.

The President and AD who made that decision years ago are retired.

Beggars can’t be choosers.

At that point, they’ll be scrambling for relevance and want to prove they belong in the big stage. Houston gives them that. Memphis, Cincinnati and the Florida twins too.

At that point, it'd be the P4, M1 and G5

I think Notre Dame reluctantly joins the ACC.

They have already been reluctant dance partners for the last few years.

You're going to need to be in a conference to make this new playoff. Nobody's going to respect an independent Notre Dame when you've got monster power conferences battling it out.

Why would C-USA focus on those three? That is a lot of small private schools, with very few fans. Plus under the circumstances, I think it is more likely that the remaining AAC members would just add a program or two and stay at 10. And I think C-USA would have to lose at least 3 programs before we'd even think of adding 1.

None of us know what will happen. I just hope more geographical conferences are the result of this next dominos game.

We may have our answer to the Longhorn Network problem. The tradeoff is totally worth it. The SEC media deal crushes the LHN.

I just hope it decimates the AAC to the point that they are willing to be part of a realignment. An eastern alignment with Temple, ECU, ODU Marshall, UMass, UNCC, App, GSU, WKU sounds good. Maybe consider Army, GaSo, Buffalo too. I’m ready to see the whole thing get destroyed and the whole G5 rebuilt sensibly.

If y’all believe any AAC school is going to realign geographically, you’re kidding yourselves. They’ll work with what’s left over and take their best options from there. They will not disintegrate.

I agree. But I think the B1G could make it very enticing financially for ND to join with them.

Every school should go independent. Play teams your fans want to see.

Agreed. Schools from CUSA and other G5 conferences want to join the AAC, not the other way around. Even if the AAC gets down to six members, they will choose who to invite and any invitee from CUSA will accept it.

If we’re really going to a 12 team playoff that wouldn’t make any sense. Current power schools would be going from 5 autobids to 4.

I'm not sure if we ever see that new playoff format now.
