Not a ranking, but yet another conference rearrangement imagining for no reason but clicks:

I'd rather imagine (2) 12-team conferences

Me as well, 12 is a solid number I think.

I liked how 12 worked, one had a decent chance of winning the conference.  But, the two Bigs won't be going back to that any more than the playoff scheme will shrink.

10 with a roundrobin is great.

Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were

I think when the B1G and SEC get to 20, someone might, just might, float the crazy idea of (2) 10-team divisions with round robins with the two champs meeting post season for the conference title

the idea will obviously be shot down by F-ing morons

For me it would depend on the other 9 teams.  I'd assume Texas, OU, Arkansas, and A&M would probably all be in the same 10-team sub-conference, but beyond that if we got stuck with the Mississippis and Kentucky and South Carolina or something, I'd pretty much hate it.  If that's the option, then I'd much rather rotate and occasionally get Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee on the schedule.

I gather we all suspect the two conferences will continue to grow over time to a something.

getting stuck with the mississippis and Kentucky any worse than getting stuck with a couple teams in kansas and Iowa St?

or TCU, SMU, & West Virginny?

I'm trying to save the sport here!

That ship has already sailed.

So speaking only of a go-forward plan, I'd rather rotate teams through a 20-team conference and see every other team every 2-3 years, then get stuck with lame ones like the Mississippis and Kentucky and SoCar and Vandy every single year.
