20 teams sets up perfect for 9 conference games FWIW

Pods of 5, play 4 rivals and rotate the other three pods home-away through a 6-year span. Conversely, 24 teams sets up perfectly for an 11-game conference schedule (endgame here) with 4 divisions of 6, play your 5 rivals and rotate divisions of 6 on the same six year span. When it gets to this point, the B1G and SEC will Insist on their 4 division champs getting auto playoff bids (now 16 team playoff) while giving only 2 auto bids to the highest ranked two conference champs This will go to the Big XII Champ and remaining-reformed ACC or Mountain West champ. There will be 6 at large bids almost all will be taken by P2 league teams, although the Big XII will snag a few here and there. When this iteration of the playoff matures, the P2 (48 teams) will separate themselves financially from the B12 and ACC in all sports and then likely acquire the 16 best basketball programs they do not control to then be able to hold its own 64-team basketball tournament and it will completely sever the football playoff from non-P2 access. All NCAA Tournament (it’s current name) and College Football Playoff money will go to the 64 teams in the SEC and Big XII.

I’m guessing the new Big-12 will go with a division setup

I am guessing they won't at least not for football

No one cares

Exactly why if Virginia Tech lands in one, I hope it’s the SEC.**

Apparently Yormark is going after UConn

I doubt it. 2 divisions in a conference of 16 is unwieldy.

A conference of beyond 16 is itself unwieldy
