I think (hope) you're right about the Pac-16. There's been talk in the last couple days about A&M wanting to join the SEC. It'd be a shame to split them and Texas.

Assuming the Big Ten is as desperate to get Notre Dame as everyone says they are, I could see Missouri getting left out, with the Big Ten adding Nebraska and then raiding three teams from the Big East to force Notre Dame's hand. I'm not sure who else besides Rutgers they might add though. I'm curious, as Huskers fans, how do guys feel about losing 100 years of tradition with the other (former) Big 8 schools?

I actually really like the idea of merging the Mountain West and the Big 12 leftovers. It's not a good fit for Kansas basketball, but from a football perspective, it make a lot of sense.

If the Pac-16 and Big 14 become a reality, I'd be really surprised if the SEC didn't also expand, most likely by raiding the ACC. In that case, whoever is left from the ACC and Big East would almost certainly have to merge.
