Now that Colorado has accepted a PAC 10 bid things will probably slow down just a little over the weekend. Not rumors/reports/stories, just actual happenings; outside of Friday's official announcement that Nebraska is Big 10 bound of course.
Rumors have swirled today that the SEC has indeed had talks with Texas, A&M, & Oklahoma, months ago actually, which I love to hear. Not sure it will mean anything, but I'm glad that Slive was being proactive. I think those three plus Ok. St. to the SEC may be a pipe dream of mine, but you know, dreams are made to come true.
What I think may really be happening is, as was stated in a reply to "CFB Expansion Part 1", that Texas is going to step up and be the big boy leader of keeping the Big 12 together. Just when the Mountain West was ready to take another step towards becoming an AQ conference by adding Boise St. they may very well be losing TCU to the Big 12.
I also think that the Big 12 may take a serious look at SMU as their pedigree is rsing with June Jones and facility upgrades. The poster stated that Rice may be a replacement, and I'd imagine they certainly could be, but I'm going with SMU. I wonder if Houston or Colorado St. would get looks. Colorado St. hasn't really been relevant lately but being in the Big 12 could help change that. As for Houston, something screams gimmick about them to me. That's probably not fair, but life isn't fair and I simply can't take Houston seriously as a power conference member.
I'm still not sure where the ACC and/or Big East fit in, but I do have an idea, and it isn't great for either. Those stories to come tomorrow.
