IMHO, but I think if this goes through and the SEC does go to 16 teams, the SEC is suddenly going to realize the need for pods to make scheduling in such a large conference work reasonably well.

I think the ACC has been on board for a long time on this.  It is possible the B1G mighrt pick up a couple of pieces from the B12 wreckage and more likely the P12 will.  The MWC and the AAC are likely going to grow as well.

In short, one less conferences makes most of the rest of the conferences bigger and bigger conferences mean more proponents for allowing pods for conference scheduling.

All that said, if pods are allowed with conference scheduling, I don't think it is a problem to schedule 15 conference teams.

Assuming WVU was available, the ACC would check with Disney/ESPN to see if adding the Mountaineers would be financially lucrative.  If so, add them and stick with 15.   I don't think conferences are going to need to get to even numbers any longer because pods are coming.
