I admittedly haven't followed this situation that closely at first as I figured they were just rumors and nothing would come of it. Now I am convinced that we are headed to 4 "super" 16 team conferences eventually (Pac 16, Big 16, ACC, SEC). Once these 4 conferences are formed they will leave the BCS system and create their own national championship. Each conference champion goes to the semi-finals.
My best guess as to the final conference lineup is:
Big 16
West
1. Nebraska
2. Iowa
3. Minnesota
4. Wisconsin
5. Illinois
6. Michigan
7. Northwestern
8. Missouri
East
9. Notre Dame
10. Rutgers
11. Ohio State
12. Penn State
13. Indiana
14. Purdue
15. Michigan State
16. Pitt
Pac 16
West
1. Oregon
2. Oregon State
3. Washington
4. USC
5. California
6. Stanford
7. UCLA
8. Washington State

9. Arizona
10. Arizona State
11. Texas
12. Texas Tech
13. Colorado
14. Oklahoma
15. Oklahoma State

1. Florida
