And hey...Sugar Bowl people.  Y'all took Virginia Tech cause they were "familiar" and you were "comfortable" with them even though Kansas State may have been more deserving?

You just got a fist shoved up your ass.

great point

In about two weeks, journalists in ACC country have gone from, "Yeah, like them joining the Big 12 would ever happen," to, "Yeah, it's going to happen, and we're screwed."

The power play also adds credence behind the complaint of Florida State that its relationship with the ACC is holding the Seminoles back. With the big four power conferences beefing up their postseason stakes, it could be the catalyst in another wave of conference realignment with the strongest ACC and Big East teams (as well as Notre Dame) eying moves into the waiting arms of the 10-team Big 12. It’s not far-fetched to think that football-oriented Florida State, Clemson, Virginia Tech and Miami might all abandon the ACC.

And who’s to say the SEC will stop at 14 or the Big Ten and Pac-12 will hold to a dozen? Super-conferences with all the vested power are on the way – and unless the Fighting Irish shed independence it doesn’t look like the ACC will be one of them.

Soon there will be three tiers of Division I college football – I-AA, I-A and the I-A+ encompassing the 48 or so teams that matter in the SEC, Big 12, Big Ten and Pac-12.

Rest assured, the phone lines to the Big 12 office are already buzzing with eager defectors seeking amnesty in the new world.

no, if there are 4 power conferences at least one of them will be 16 imo.  too many good teams to be left out of a big 4.

Yes.  The Pac-12 has no one else to take.  Slive doesn't want 16.  Delany can't find #13 or #14 that can move his marker enough to make it worthwhile.

The Pac-12 and Big Ten will stay at 12, the Big 12 and SEC will go to 14.

As much as I usually don't like to disagree with sd, the jump from 12 to 14 is very tough.  The jump from 14 to 16 is absurd when you're talking about finding partners that don't end up being a net loss, especially when you're talking about the Big Ten and their strict academic requirements.

Maryland and GT, while in large population centers, aren't even close to having the value add necessary to make them valuable additions.  The Big Ten already makes an absurd amount of money.  They need Notre Dame.

12 appears to be the ideal number.  That means there are only two seats left at the big boy table.  Notre Dame? FSU? V Tech? Clemson?

Everyone else will wither and die.  Doesn't matter how good they were before now. 

Miami, for example, is toast...forever.

The SEC is at 14 now. What's VT going to do? UNC? The SEC will take them and go to 16 if the ACC implodes imo. Unless the big 10 goes to 14 I guess. Those two have a seat at a table if they want one I think.

Why would the SEC take them?  They add very little. A couple more states that may or may not care about football.

Might happen, but the SEC will be in no hurry to do it.  What the hell else can those schools do?  They are screwed.

The SEC would absolutely take UNC. VT I don't know but the big 12 would absolutely take VT.

I'm guessing sd/felix rex DC travel banter is now the most boring part of this thread?  rusty, confirm?

VT can come to us.

UNC can stay where they are.  $17 million at a basketball school is a lot of money.

Picture the ACC without VT, FSU, and Clemson, and with UConn, Rutgers, and Louisville.

They're even MORE ACC'er than before.  It's like with 25% more ACCness.

It will be a fantastic basketball conference, full of strong, east coast academic schools, that will play better than Mountain West-level football.

Just picture the ACC with that schools swap and tell me like any of the remaining schools really seem like they don't belong there for one reason or another.

People listing their theoretical divisions is now the most boring part of Realignment Party (formerly known as Conference Armageddon.)

Also, color coded maps are the second most boring part of Realignment Party. All the cool kids are playing Spin The Bottle with FSU and Notre Dame while the map makers are setting up their LAN party in the basement
