Hard to imagine LSU, AL & OU in the same conf. much less the same Division

If OU heads south instead of west & we keep the east - west alignment, the BCSNC would be a little anticlimactic.
Would the powers that be consider a north - south alignment to help balance the strength?

is there any reason to think OU doesn't go to Pac-12? or are you just thinking out loud?

Pretty good balance, but to keep rivalry games, you would end up with 11 conference games.

Just a thought, but a north - south split would keep the Al, Au & FL games with an expanded conference.

Not really, all the TRUE old rivalries are in the East Division.

AU/UGA
UA/UT
FLA/UGA

LSU/AUorUA LSU/FLA are relatively new rivalries that only matter to us (LSU). AU/UA/FLA can give two shits about the their LSU rivalry.

If OU were to come the conf is going to 16. If we go to 16, then there will be 4 div. For example.

1. OU, OSU (they would be tagging along), A&M, Ark

2. LSU, OM, MSU, FSU (If MO, flip with Ark)

3. GA, FL, SC, KT

4. AL, AU, TN, Vandy

Not out of the question per a friend here in Dallas. Also said their message boards look to favor a move to SEC over B1G and PAC. Just passing along info but wow - what a move that would be. OU, OSU, Mizzu and A&M to SEC.

If conferences go to 16, I think the BIG picks up Mizzou, Kansas, ND or Buffalo, and possibly Iowa St. All are AAU schools I think. WVU gets invite to SEC to make 16 teams along with OU/OSU/A&M


SEC Hillbilly Div:


WVU, KY, Vandy, Arky

SEC Redneck Div:

Ole Miss, Miss St, Bama, AU

SEC Jorts Div::

UGA, Scar, FLA, Tenn

SEC Cowboys and Coonasses Div:

LSU, A&M, OU, OSU
