Assume the B1G gets UNC/UVa to get into the South.  Assume the SEC takes FSU, Clemson, Ga Tech, and Louisville to pull all rivalries in house.  Then they can go to 9 conference games too.  20 teams = 10 team divisions.  9 conference games.  Rotating divisional membership to keep schedules fresh.

I do not see either conference pushing past 20.  The B1G would do it to get several brands... but I do not think EsecPN would let that happen.  So 20/20 seems more likely.

That leaves the ACC with Miami, Va Tech, Pitt, Syracuse, BC, NC State, Duke, Wake Forest, SMU, Stanford, and Cal.   Add UConn and we are at 12 teams.  If we kept one AQ, we would be no better or worse off than during the Big East era.  You could divide the conference into: Northeast: Miami, Va Tech, Pitt, Syracuse, BC, UConn and Southwest: SMU, NC State, Stanford, Cal, Duke, Wake Forest.  Or, if we could snag West Virginia from the B12, with Memphis taking its place... that would be a doable swap for all... and then add UConn to the N and USF to the S to get to 14.   I could live with that.  All we ever want is an AQ in case it all comes together...

We would be a clear Tier 2.  But we are kind of now anyway.
