Clemson, Florida State, Miami, North Carolina and Virginia from the ACC have been mentioned as possible realignment dance partners, but at least they are in a conference with a TV deal. This reveals a further reality: It truly is a scramble now. Superconferences are here and not going anywhere. Insert programs like Notre Dame, Clemson, Florida State and/or Miami, and suddenly, a two-conference playoff becomes a reality. Everything else could be an unsavory Group of Six or Seven. At that point, the obvious play is for a new subdivision to form that stages its own playoff. The money -- not huge money -- would be there.

“The Big 12 has been told by TV rights advisors that the two most important considerations for expansion are brand and geography.“ - Hello Florida State.
