Has much as I hate the idea of a 16 team super conference; I completely understand the reason. Do you have any idea who the other teams may be besides A&M?
i wish someone would explain why the super conferences are needed. Around here we are winning crystal balls already! Will the sc's help everyone catch up to us? If so, how does it help us? It appears that except for tcu and utah that everyone who potentially joins a 'sc' already had a shot at the title game just by winning their games. Please enlighten me someone, cuz i don't see why college football 'has' to do this. I respect the fact that is happening, but i don't get it at all. Thanks guys and gals!!!!!!

its amazing that people are so blind they forget the one overriding factor of all business
The deal with this whole super conference discussion could actually bring forth a somewhat forced playoff system, but it would require five or so super conferences in total (ACC, Big East, Big Ten, PAC-x, SEC).
With a maximum of 16 schools per conference, that would cover 80 of the 120 schools that presently comprise of the FBS or Div. 1-A. 40 schools would inevitably be potentially left out in the cold aside from some sort of play-in contingency. Presently there are 66 teams in BCS conferences.
If this happens, and the money seems to be speaking to this direction, then hopefully this makes the transition to a vintage playoff system a bit easier versus the current organizational structure.
Ultimately, it's not about fairness nor logic, it will always be about money.
do you really think the Big East and ACC will survive? the moneys is in football,it could well be 3 Super conferences,i personally think dark days are ahead for football,with the super Conferences but what ESPN wants,with there money,they will get
I think we will have 4 "super conferences". The PAC-12 will add Texas, Oklahoma, Ok St, and Tx Tech. SEC will add A&M, Missouri, West Va. and another team (rumors are Va Tech may not want to come). Big 10 will raid left over B12 teams and/or northeast teams. I think then the leftover Big East football schools will join the ACC.
16 team SEC may look like this
Division A
Team X
Georgia
USC east
Florida
Division B
Kentucky
Vandy
Tennessee
West Va
Division C
Alabama
Auburn
Ole Miss
Miss St
Division D
LSU
Arky
A&M
Mizzou
Each team plays each team in their division plus 2 teams from the other east or west division(a vs b, c vs d) plus one team from each west or east division, plus their rival
Example: Tennessee
Vandy, West Va, Kentucky
2 teams from division A
Team from division C
Team from division D
Alabama
But I think we will have 14 team conference, playing a 9 game(rumor of Oregon game being cancelled) conference schedule; 6 teams in division plus 2 games from other division plus rival.
can someone explain to me how the playoffs wouldn't be more money? more games, more excitement, more money right?

IMO a playoff would make a ton more money. The problem is the politics of ending the Bowls. The cities, and areas around them that host the bowl games get a big rush of tourists at a time of year that is usually dead. The bowls pump millions into local economys. I want a playoff too, but I understand why there is a problem with implementing one.
