Pretty soon LSU will be in the western division of the SEC and will only play those schools and the eastern side will in essence be another conference.
Big 10 raids ACC
SEC and Big 12 split what's left of the ACC
Texas needs an independent deal like Notre Dame with quasi conference affiliation

What would make it easier to analogize it would be to the NFL monikers.
Big 10 would be an 18 team "League" like the NFL is a League. East and West would basically be the AFC/NFC conferences with no divisions I imagine within them. Playing a round robin "conference" schedule to determine East/West champion who then play each other (Super Bowl).
Kind of like the idea I liked if the NFL went to 18 game schedules. Get rid of divisions, play 15 round robin conference games. 3 Out of conference. Get rid of playoffs, champions play. Pretty fair system to determine Super Bowl champion.
Same thing here. Round robin within East and West.
You won't have the Bama and Georgia example from the SEC this year playing 2 Top teams instead of the Four that other teams played due to scheduling issues.

This could be cool if they had two conferences with no conference championship game, but have a bigger playoff instead. It would basically be the NFL with more teams. BIG / SEC each with divisions consisting of 4-6 teams. Play all of your division, some cross-division games within conference, and 1-2 games form the other conference.
