if ou and atm defect to the sec, then what does the pac do? and what does ut do?
if ou can go to the sec without okie state, then okie state is probably screwed. i don't see them in the p10 without ou.
then, ut is left with some hard ass choices. at that point, i really don't see them going to the sec, unless they bump atm out of the sec and just go in with ou. but, assuming ut doesn't want to be in the sec (and i really don't think that they do want to go that way), then they have to decide between being the huge dog in whatever is left of the b12 or go to either the b10 or the pac. they ain't going to the b10, imho, and i am not even sure the b10 would still offer them now.
so, assuming ut doesn't go to the sec, then i doubt they try to salvage the b12. no one is left other than them to build a money-maker out of. maybe they do it and launch their own network and try the notre dame model to some extent, but i doubt that too.
i think if atm and ou DO go to the sec, ut will go to the p10. then, what becomes of tech and okie state? well, like i said, i think okie state is just screwed. will ut go to the mat with the p10 for tech? i dunno. maybe if the pac decides to pair tt and ut and then pair CU with utah to make 14 teams... but, i don't think that's how it would go...
best guess? presuming the atm/ou stories to the sec are accurate, i think ut goes to the pac, is paired with CU, and the pac stops at 12. for now. this would map also to the b10 stopping at 12. for now.
crazy times.
