SEC Football: What should happen if Oklahoma and Texas join?

Big Ten

Of the five major groups, the Big Ten would be the only one untouched in my renovation scheme. The goal is to have a conference dynamic of: two 16-team leagues, one with 14, and two more with 12. In this model, the Big Ten would be the one with 14 members (a tally that they have already achieved).

Big 12

In sharp contrast to the aforementioned Big Ten, the Big 12 will actually see the most monumental changes of this whole debacle. In the end, they will have lost two teams and gained four, bringing their total to 12 members and, subsequently, once again living up to the number in their name.

Upon losing the two iconic universities Oklahoma and Texas, the league will be itching for some big names to join their arsenal. As a result, they will scoop up two teams that have been craving some Power Five clout for quite some time now: BYU and Houston.

Those two would be perfect fits for the conference, both geographically and competitively. However, they are surely not enough to keep the whole ship afloat. Another pair of programs that would fix that, though, are Arizona and Arizona State of the Pac-12.

Neither of the Arizona schools have seen much success recently (especially the Wildcats), so a change of pace would be tempting, to say the least. And members of the Pac-12 have gotten very rowdy about allegedly not having a realistic path to the College Football Playoff, so the pair from Arizona may see this move as being for the better from a relevance standpoint as well.
