Hypothetical, if the Big 10 and SEC decide they are done expanding which they claim, wink wink. What If the Big 12 and ACC merged and formed 4 divisions (West, Central, North and South) it would get things back into regional play which would cut back on travel and form a 4 team conference championship. Just thought it might be interesting to look at even though it would probably never happen. 9 teams in each division, 8 league games, could have 1 cross over with another division that rotates every year.
