I think the clear front three are BYU, Cincy, and UCF, probably in that order. #4 (if they add 4) is the tougher call: Memphis, Houston, Boise...

Official realignment thread - SEC formally invites OU and Texas to join the conference in 2025
Houston as the 4th school in that scenario
Do you guys read this as CU would play 8 conference games and then 4 others against the Alliance ? Lets say NU at home and Iowa on the road and then
NC State at home and UNC on the road for example? So no more games against any other conferences ?

Dude.
Hell. Yes
All I want is one game every couple years within driving distance.
It's a small ask.
Edit: most of the ACC and 30-40% of the B1G is within driving distance. My hopes are high.
Careful here. UCF, Houston, Memphis, and Cincy my make the Big 12 a very good conference.
Right you are!
I’m not sure Not Sure.
That hypothetical conference, although not as good as the original Big 12, certainly rivals the Pac-12. UCF and Cincy are legit programs with low admission standards and plenty of local talent. Houston and Memphis would be slightly below average in the Pac 12 but probably not the the worst team year in and year out.
don’t forget that being in the P5 gives them more recruiting horsepower. They have passionate fans and in the NIL era they could be very dangerous P5 teams.
BYU in a P5 conference with NIL could arguably be one of the better teams in the western US.
I do like White Russians
If I were to be in charge of this, the intent would be to NEVER play an SEC game, which could then allow “the alliance” from ever having a game shown on ESPN. If the only games ever shown on ESPN end up being SEC v SEC or SEC v DII, eventually people will get bored with that and ESPN will crumble. Then the SEC will crumble. Operation TEXAS - victory.
It’s a long game. But worth it.
I’m not gonna lie, I see no connection between the tweet you linked and your comment.
Dude you say some really dumb ****
Like the time that UCF beat Auburn in a bowl game?
When was the last time any Pac-12 team beat a highly ranked SEC team?
It’s one game that amounts to UCF’s Super Bowl. Same thing for the couple
Boise upsets in the past. Every now and then it happens, but not that frequently and how would UCF do playing USC, Utah, Oregon, Stanford, Washington, etc every week instead of ECU, Temple, Tulane, Tulsa, Memphis, etc??
What would the difference be between that proposed Big 12 from today's AAC? AAC would take a big hit in perception and the MWC would be right back to being the best G5 conference unless the Sun Belt passes them by now.
Big 12 men's basketball would be something to watch though.

Ok I’m glad you said it because I didn’t either
I hear you, 8 ACC schools are within about 4 hours of me

This isn’t even a question. Looking at one year of results to judge a football product is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. There isn’t one program from the group that would be able better over the long term than the top 5 in the pac 12 (usc, oregon, Washington, ucla and Utah). The pac 12 also has some good depth behind those with ASU, cal, Stanford and colorado. But good try.
