Would Oklahoma and Oklahoma State make sense? Or would the SEC look to the ACC and either expand into NC or expand their current base with FSU, GT, Clemson, and Miami?

We know that there's likely going to be 4-5 'mega conferences' once this is done. I'm guessing that how the Big East and ACC shake out will dictate this. I'm not sure the remaining B12 schools would be deciding as much as they would be reacting. I think this is a big reason why Mizzou and Nebraska want to jump now. They want to decide their destination rather than wait on the dominoes to fall and have their options limited.
