This is exactly what I've been wondering.

It seems to me that there are two schools left that will drive expansion - Texas and Notre Dame.

Then there are several schools which are what I call "seat fillers" these are good schools that offer something but will not drive expansion themselves, they will get taken along for the ride to ensure conferences end up with a nice even number of teams.  These are the UConn, Rutgers, Kansas, West Virginia's etc. of the world.

There are also the teams that just dont have a place in any expansion conversation; such as South Florida, Cincinnati, Iowa St., and Bayor.

The team I cant figure out, and the one that I'm guessing will inspire everything to shake down into its final formation, is Oklahoma.

I cant figure out why they would want to stay in a Big 12 conference that is now built to give Texas a competitive advantage, when they could go to the ACC, Pac-12, SEC, or B1G, and make more money while playing on an even playing field with the rest of the conference.

And if they dont want to stay, I cant figure out why any of the ACC, Pac-12, SEC, or B1G would not want them.

Eventually I think Oklahoma (and probably Oklahoma St.) end up somewhere, and that is what finally forces Texas into a mega-conference and what makes all the other dominoes fall.
