My books are about one such secession, I altered history a good bit.

As I thought about it, it occured to me how "winning" might not have worked out that well.

Even aside from the folks in slavery.

If the Pac 12 holds their nose and take in the Big 12 castaways, while the Big Ten holds it's nose and takes in the Northern ACC schools (including Notre Dame), then that would isolate the SEC and the ACC entirely into the old Confederacy, and render them rather irrelevant in the Northeast, Midwest, Great Planes, the West, Southwest, and West Coast. 

It would really turn the tables on the SEC.

At first glance, I like the idea.  NC's could be determined by a playoff or polls, wouldn't matter to me.

Yeah, the Big Ten and Pac 12 could then each have four pods. At the end of the season each Conference would then hold a Conference Playoff with the 4 pod winners. Then the two Conference Playoff winners would square off in the Rose Bowl. 

Meanwhile the SEC and ACC would be doing their little CFB Playoff with all the G5 winners. It would be the NIT.

If the Southeast champion wanted to be considered the National Champion outside of the Southeast, they'd have to take on the Rose Bowl winner.
Why?
.
Baseball teams don't have to play the Japanese champ to declare themselves "World Champions," do they?  All they have to do is be the best in the US and plus a city 10 miles across the border and they can claim it.
.
If the B1G removes themselves from contention, then that's on them.   Maybe Ohio State could borrow UCF's banner every year.

I think the point is that the SEC, or a combo of the SEC and ACC, can't establish a playoff system and announce that any conferences that don't join it are removing themselves from contention.

CSA National Champions, perhaps.

You and 7 other people outside of the South will acknowledge it.

Here's an updated fan map... allegedly.

Okay, that map makes no sense. Makes Texas look like an afterthought in their own state, along with a myriad of other oddities.

Yup that one looks more correct.

Here's an interesting one, of the "Closest P5 stadium to every county in the USA."
