So basically what it boils down to is this (in my thinking):

1. TAMU joins SEC, SEC seeks one team from Big East or ACC. That sets off domino effect on east coast for repositioning of ACC/Big East depending on which conference loses a team to the SEC. One would likely raid the other to replace the 12th team, or perhaps go for the kill and take 3-4 to strengthen conference.

2. TAMU joins SEC, SEC takes another team from Big 12 (say, Missouri). That sets off domino effect on west coast for Pac-12 to step in and grab UT/OU and a couple other Big 12 remnants. Hard to see the Big 12 surviving if 2 leave, but I guess UT/OU will determine that. May bring BYU/Boise State/TCU in mix to save Big 12, despite moves they've made in the past year?

3. TAMU joins SEC, SEC decides to act now and grab 3 other teams to go to 16. That sets off WWIII among all conferences trying to reposition, probably spells the end for either ACC or Big East as we know them, and probably drags Big 10 and ND into the picture as well.
