O'Leary? Hugh Freeze? Sonny Dykes? SPECULATION!!!
That's how I see thing shaking out in five years. Four 16-team conferences. An eight-team playoff, four conference champs, four wild card teams (two other conference champs, maybe, provided they are ranked high enough, and two highest-ranked teams, and as many as four if the other smaller conference champs don't have enough rankings, that were not conference champs). That might push Notre Dame to be a full-fledged member of the ACC and that leaves Texas in a bidding war between the SEC and Pac 12, which is where I see Oklahoma and Oklahoma State going.Geographical references should be removed from conference names if Texas joins either one of the coastal conferences. I propose new names for the four super conferences:
1. ACC = Big Brain Conference
2. SEC = Big Dummy Conference
3. B1G = Big Slow Conference
3. PAC? = Big Late-Night Conference
That's pretty much what I've said for a couple of years now. With the new contracts, it might take more than 5 years, but eventually it will happen. When Colorado, Nebraska, A&M, and Missouri bolted, it signals real problems within the Big XII.That's how I see thing shaking out in five years. Four 16-team conferences.

buzzczarReally none of 3GT's predictions have been that outlandish if you like trollbait
There was talk of a B12 ACC esque merger by bloggers and uninformed internet posters
Texas probably does want to hire Saban and cannot
GT will score over 30ppg but not likely 30 points every game and cannot go 12-0 because then they would be playing more games so there is no way they could end up being 12-0 at season's end
blah blah blah
Not sure why everyone thinks he's so dumb. If the odyssey were written in crayon would it not be an epic poem? yes, but the quality of writing is much higher and the logical explanations are less fantastic than 3GTs gibberish
Missouri was was smart enough to bolt before they became more irrelevant than they already are. Landing in the SEC was a gift. Oklahoma was dumb not to get out while the getting was good.That's pretty much what I've said for a couple of years now.

For disney and ESPN it has.
which means that at contract's end... this revenue stream will either be much lower or disappearFor disney and ESPN it has.
Texas is getting paid regardless.
Don't sleep on Chip Kelly to UTexas. Chip's O, much like Spurrier's O is already showing signs of failure in the Big Boy League. He will be clamoring for a place to run and hide back in the collegiate ranks. The high minded pink cowboys in Austin will be swept of their ponies with Chip's resume and the entertaining aspect of his offense. Thinking they can become Oregon, they will invest Millions in Chip and a designer to come up with 99 alternate uniforms for the boys to try on Saturdays.
Go Jackets!
