Texas seems to be on everyone's hit list. And rightfully so. My problem is the expansion causing it to get totally away from the regional aspect of the conferences. I still think that so much of the attraction of college football stems from the traditions that arise not only from the colleges themselves, but from different areas of the country. Anyone recall the article written several years back by the Syracuse writer after his visit to Teh Planes for the game? One of the best I've ever read and in a nutshell it said, "They get it....we don't".
This is true, but as PCT pointed out, they will likely raid the southern part of the ACC. It may be true of other conferences, but fuck them, who cares. It's just another reason to laugh at them for misrepresentation, much like the Big Televen.
However, we would have to add all Eastern Teams. This would fuck up the whole structure of the SEC, division-wise, which I think is one of the few institutions in college football, that's pretty damn near perfect. Playing all teams from your respective division, rotating two from the other division in and out of your schedule every year, and having one inter-division rival is a pretty perfect system. Even moreso are those inter-division rivalries, that are pretty evenly matched for the most part. AU & UGA, LSU & UF, uat & UT, UA & SC (the n00bs), OM & Vandy, MSU & UK. The teams, and even the fans of those schools in each pair are very similar.
Throw in, say, 4 teams in the east. You'd have to move two teams over to the west, (Probably Vandy, and maybe UK or UT?) And worse, you'd probably only get to play one team from the other division a year. Would they rotate the one every year? If so, does that mean the oldest rivalry in the south (AU-UGA) ceases to exist? No more Third Saturday in October for the hillbillies & mullets? The only alternative would be to keep the inter-divisional rivalry. Then what? Never play any team from the other division, unless you meet them for the championship? This also fucks things up because no teams from either division will have common opponents with any team from the other division.
Bottom line. I'm not an advocate.
