IMO, if things go to hell then the Big12 would be the best option available
If the Big12 picks up the best leftovers from both the PAC and the ACC and then creates regional divisions, I think that would be the next best thing to being part of the two power conferences. The next best option after that would most likely be the schools passed over by the Big12 and things will just get uglier with each passing iteration.
