Buyouts would be too big.  I don't think those two would be that big of a loss its the other schools that would want to join them.  But that would put the Big Ten and SEC at 20 teams.

One got Texas and OU and the other got the best of the Pac 12 and an entire time zone.  The ACC is a distant third and struggles to have anyone ranked in the top 10.  The 2 programs that have shown any pulse in the playoffs are collapsing rapidly.  Why on earth would they want more mouths to feed especially schools with the ability to get good and challenge the top.  Clemson and FSU might struggle in the SEC but they would step in and become Ohio State and Michigan automatically.

Of course the SEC and Big Ten want as many playoff bids as possible in theory but realistically do they want/need more than 4 a year each?  Quarterfinal conference matchups between conference members?  SEC getting 5 is going to happen and people will be pissed.  Why give up a spot to FSU or Clemson?

8 SEC/Big Ten teams
3 ACC/Big 12
1 G5
+ND some years

Why do the SEC and Big Ten need or want to destroy the Big 12 and ACC again and what is their gain?  Other than a total dissolution of the NCAA that would risk everything I don't see any upside.
