A&M is denying the report that they have submitted a request to withdraw from Big 12.

I think if they go to just 4 major conferences than most of the Big East and ACC joins together.
The Big East is primarily a basketball conference so a lot have to change because most of the Big East basketball teams don't have a football team in the conference.
ND will probably go to the big 10 or the Big East/ACC conference.
Miami and FSU will probably leave the ACC and go to the SEC.
Then the big 12 will filter into the other three.
Once again this is just my opinion and not fact and usually my opinion is wrong.
No way would I ever see the SEC taking FSU and/or Miami from the ACC.... last I heard it was only looking at one ACC team and those are it.
You really REALLY think Miami is a more viable option, right now, over WVU? Really?
Either way, see my ad nauseum above.
Doubtful, no new television market.
I would hope for GT, since we're a charter member of the SEC, and still have more SEC championships then 5 of it's current members, but I don't see it happening.
I could see the Big Ten going after Tech, based on them being a member of the association of american universities, and also being in the large Atlanta television market, but none of those helps the SEC (GT wouldn't lower itself to the academic standards of the SEC, and the SEC already has the market with UGA). And UGA would oppose the move, unless the Board of Regents forced them to take them.
Miami & FSU bring the SEC nothing in television either. FSU only gets brought into the SEC if the governor or legislature leans on UF to take them (otherwise Florida would be against it).
They might want a North Carolina team, but none of the them are going to bail from the ACC.
While they might like Virginia Tech, they are now joined at the hip with UVA, and the governor will not let them abandon UVA. Plus VT doesn't really have a big tv market (sorry VT, but Maryland has the DC market), the ACC didn't want them because of that, it was only because the Virginia governor forced UVA to push for VT that they were invited to the ACC.
I think they'll make a run for Missouri and the St. Louis television market instead.

OU & OSU are joined at the hip. The Legislature won't let one team leave without the other (don't ya just love the politics involving state universities). So unless the SEC wants both, it won't happen.
That's why I think Missouri instead.

Truth be told, I would be surprised if the happens.....
The SEC already has the television markets in Florida via UF. Therefore it's does not need FSU or Miami to add the Talahassee & Miami markets, when it already has them via UF.
That's why I said no new television market.
Yep, it is one (the main) reason A&M is so attractive to the SEC. Millions of viewers in a new market.

And though there is alot more UF anf FSU alum in the state, I think there is definately TV market down here. Maybe not new, but there is a market.
I have to agree, the sec really DOESN'T have a TV market in Southern Florida.

The Gators and FSU game are decently watched down here on their own, but MUCH bigger when they play The U.
New to direct. How can I find live college football games? It you search " college football" you get a billion returns. I just wanted to see all the games available with out getting all the college shows. I don't want to search for the games individually and I want to record them before hand. So going to the score card won't help.
Mark the stations that typically carry college games in your Favorites List (ABC, CBS, ESPN, Big-10 Network, etc). This will make it easier to toggle between channels in the guide. Or check the college football schedule on a sports site. You'll then know when to tune in or set your DVR in order not to miss your favorite game.
