Would I be wrong in guessing everyone here would go back to 1989 and its alignment?
Big 8
SWC
10-team SEC
10-team Big Ten
Penn St, Florida St, Miami, Pitt, ND, VT, WV independents

I'd prefer that to now, but I actually think I'd prefer before the ACC raided the Big East alignment.  Not sure having all of those Independents makes sense

The independents were great, because they weren't bowl-bound by conference affiliation.  When they were good, they could mix and match into all of the other bowls, to  get some really great top tier matchups.

The Rose Bowl with its double tie-in being an exception, of course.

he may want to get an early start on the SEC? Lol. In all seriousness, he might as well get in now- bc when Oklahoma and Texas join the SEC they'll both have a really tough time ever winning it.

TX/OU should've made a play for the PAC.
Good Lord, no.  PAC football is so bad, and nobody watches it.

Moving to the B1G would have been far more preferable.

Texas and Oklahoma moving to the SEC is only good for the SEC, not good for Texas and Oklahoma, not good for what's left of the Big 12, not good for college football as a whole

the old smaller regional conferences were better for the sport as a whole - better rivalries developed, better relationships between programs and fan bases

I honestly don't mind either Penn State or Nebraska in the B1G. Penn State was in before I even started following college football so to me, it seems like they've "always" been in the conference. Nebraska is a team that always seemed like a cultural fit in a lot of ways, so even though they weren't historically members, they slotted in with little to no integration problems.

Maryland and Rutgers were added for TV eyeballs. It feels like they were just bolted onto the conference, not like they fit into it. 

I wish the Big-12 had survived in general though (even if it means the B1G never got Nebraska). But Texas killed it. Nebraska/Mizzou/Colorado/A&M left to get away from them, and now the conference is so watered down that Texas and OU are leaving. I think the SEC pre-Mizzou/A&M would have been fine to leave as-is. The SEC should stop at the Louisiana border. Mizzou probably fits, but Texas/Oklahoma schools shouldn't be in the SEC. 

ND should DIAF.

I just think geographically it would've made more sense to join the PAC and I think Texas/OU would've hit the ground running in the PAC with a much better chance of dominating that league than they will have of doing anything of significance in the SEC.

Moneywise, the SEC is a good choice, duh, the Pac is not.  It's more important than your chances of winning any conference.

Texas might not win the SEC once in 30 years and they would still be ahead, and in a good year could make the CFP.

I'd venture to guess that if TX/OU head to the PAC- they'd get a fat new TV deal.
