Message: [QUOTE="shizzle787, post: 4015216, member: 6581"] Assuming Texas and Oklahoma migrate to the SEC and the SEC does not expand further, here is my prediction (wildly speculative) for where the dominos fall: B1G: Notre Dame isn't coming but the conference uses this opportunity to weaken two competitor conferences at once by adding Kansas and Colorado ACC: With 15 in basketball and 14 in football, the conference looks around and doesn't see anyone of value to add PAC-12: Needs to get back to even number with departure of Colorado; picks Texas Tech to get into Texas and realizes it is highly unlikely to get further raided so it sticks at 12 Big 12: The remaining six members (TCU, WVU, Baylor, ISU, KSU, OSU) pick four schools to minimize the effects of the already diminished brand: BYU declines as the conference will lose autonomous status when the CFP is expanded (similar to the Big East/AAC in 2013); the four chosen are Cincinnati, Houston, UCF, and Boise State MWC: I believe the MW becomes the #6 conference due to the departure of the AAC's top programs; the conference adds SMU to get into Texas and get back to 12. AAC: At this point is down to 8 programs (6 all sports: USF, Memphis, Temple, Tulane, Tulsa, ECU and Navy in football and WSU in basketball). With the new CFP giving the top 6 leagues a spot, I don't think anyone on the football side bolts. (Wichita State inquires to the MW about all-sports membership and the MW accepts.) Navy will need to be placated with Texas opponents. Rice and UTEP are invited. The last two that get in are Liberty and UMass. That leaves 11 in football and 10 in basketball. C-USA: Stays put at 12 Sun Belt: Stays put at 10 MAC: Stays at 12 Independents: Notre Dame, BYU, UConn, Army, NMSU What do you think? What are your predictions? [/QUOTE]
