Left out of what?  The B12 has a contract.  The B12 is not losing more than a handful of teams, if any.  The B12 has played a better hand than the ACC somehow.  Which is part of the reason FSU/Clemson are leaving--the ACC took way too little for TV revenue just to give a deal to Swofford's family members and they are locked in for too many years into the future.  If the ACC was able to renegotiate today or even the early 2030s... it would be on stronger footing.

Out of the playoffs?  If the SEC/B1G are going to exclude everyone, then it is game over for us anyway.  The SEC is proposing a 5+11.  If the ACC dissolves into something like the next PAC... it will be a 4+12.  The B12 is still in good position for an at large bid for the team that rises to the top of that 16-team conference.  If the ACC is merely 13/14 teams... the ACC will be fine.  I think we need 15 for ESPN purposes, so we might have to add UConn/Memphis at that point.  Or UConn/Tulane potentially. USF perhaps.  But even that ACC would not be out of the playoffs.

I just think a combined ACC/B12 could solve a lot of regionality issues.  At that point a 4-4-4-1-3 would work for the playoffs also.  B12 would get 4 out of 30 teams in, the SEC/B1G would get 4 out of 20.  So be it.  I consider that very good access to the playoffs.
