agreed.

Gerry--We almost agree on the picks.

Kansas & K-State to the Big East, concur.

Mizzou--concur but if to the SEC, will be looking to bail once B1G comes calling.

Okie State--Most likely PAC-12 as a package deal with OU.

TX Tech--Possibly PAC-12 if they will agree to a three-team package deal. If not most likely Mountain West.

Iowa State--MAC. MAC has 13 teams so Iowa State would even out the brackets.

Baylor--The way they've pissed off everyone even the Sun Belt may pass. No chance at C-USA as all the Texas teams are former SWC and their grudges run deep. The WAC needs one more football member to make eight, and since they'll take anyone with a pulse (TX State San Marcos, UTSA, Denver, Seattle, even my alma mater UT Arlington) this may happen.

Kansas - Big East
Kansas St - Big East
Missouri - SEC
Iowa State - CUSA
Oklahoma State - Pac 14
Baylor - CUSA
Texas Tech - MWC

please god no.

I know but I feel like it's gonna happen. I just don't see any of the ACC teams leaving a conference that is in no danger of falling apart.

Wrong unless you consider the sun belt a decent mid-major type conference.

Don't sleep on the idea of Iowa State to the Big Ten; they're an AAU institution, fit solidly within the culture-- far moreso than they do with a Texas or an OU currently--- and they may be the price that the big Big Ten powers require for expansion, in that they really aren't a threat to the major programs.

Good point. But would Iowa try to block their entry?

Kansas & K-State-- Big East

Mizzou-- Big 10

Okie State-- Most likely PAC-12 as a package deal with OU.

TX Tech-- PAC-12

Iowa State--MAC. MAC has 13 teams so Iowa State would even out the brackets.

Baylor-- CUSA or MWC

There is no reason to believe they would; it's the Hawkeye State for a reason. Iowa dominates ISU (39-19), and views itself as a program entirely on a different level. The schools are used to playing one another, and there isn't a stigma from picking up little brother from a small conference-- Iowa State might be the worst Big Six conference football school over the past 60 years, but they're still a Big Six conference team.
