I’d be looking at byu and Boise state as the 2 most likely to jump to the pac 12

They would love TCU, KU, and OSU for media markets.

Pac 12 will definitely go after the top Big 12 schools first. Would not be surprised if they go to 14 and add 4 more schools.

What would be a beautiful wrench right now would be if one of the FAANG companies came in and offered the top 15 bluebloods an obscene amount of money to play games exclusively on their platform.

It would be awesome to watch the big ten and sec commishioners crying and then asking for some kind of regulation.

Its really a matter of does the PAC 12 poach the Big 12 or vice versa.

B1G has reportedly told Oregon and Washington their invites are on hold pending a Notre Dame response. Personally think this is bunk, UW & Oregon are already a done deal. ND decides whether one of Utah, Colarado, or Arizona gets an invite as well.

Anyone else share my opinion that we're headed to only 2 conferences that really matter? B10/SEC.

 

Even if we get into ACC/B12 it will be the same routine until b10/SEC are truly done... which may be never... or until they effectively replace the ncaa.

 

Two that matter. 

I think what we end up with is 4 Super-Conferences but only 2 of them are super.

The SEC and Big20 round themselves out with Miami, FSU, Notre Dame, Washington, Oregon, Clemson, and one or two others.  Maybe even kick out a Mizzou or some po-dunk non TV contributor to the curb.  

Then an East Coast and a West Coast catch-all.  Hopefully they make it regional to create some rivalry.  The eastern and midwest factions of the ACC/Big 12 (West Virginia, UCF, USF?, etc) would hopefully form the East faction and then the Arizona schools, California schools, Colorado (and Colorado State), and the tornado alley schools form the West faction.

Some formerly "safe" schools like Georgia Tech or Baylor now get to look up at what USF has been looking up at in the ACC.  Not great for football in a power sense.  It wouldn't be terrible though if a 16 team playoff emerged and these Power2 schools got a few seats (3-4) at the table with 11-1 and 10-2 records.  Who knows.

If there was ever a time for USF to announce an on-campus stadium it would be in the next week or two.

Stanford seems like the fourth not those three.
