Alsacs - I just gave you a like if that means anything to you.  I agree with you on 1 thing - its ESPNs move next.  They could force the issue for Texas, they could drop the ball on the ACC.

Here is my issue - I cannot see ESPN wanting to weaken one conference it owns just to strengthen another.  Raiding an ACC team to go to the SEC makes absolutely no sense to me - they own both.  Why not strengthen both?  Do you see what I'm saying?  ESPN needs both to be strong conferences for content purposes.

See the universe was just was changed by FOX. That's why I think ESPN makes the case for the SEC to add Texas & Oklahoma.  ESPN would then have the strongest football conference and the strongest basketball conference,  And FOX is left with a boring conference for both.

Then a 4 team playoff makes more sense for better viewership across the nation - the best team from 4 different parts of the country.  The first playoff is conference championships,from each region - 8 teams by default.  The next is 2 bowl semi final games.  Finally the NC game - now college football becomes far more interesting. You could tell Congress we have a fair system of an 8 team playoff by default and not really mess with the new playoff system.

The current 10 team B12 system doesn't fit into the new reality in my view.
