More realignment coming? College football insider reports B1G, SEC could add more teams
College football could see more realignment announcements happen in the near future, which would lead to the Big Ten and SEC being two megaconferences, per The Athletic’s Nicole Auerbach.
Auerbach tweeted about a phone call she had with someone who believed that college football will eventually see the Big Ten and SEC having 20 teams (or more) in each conference. This would create two megaconferences in college football.
Just got off the phone with someone who believes this eventually leads to two megaconferences — the Big Ten and SEC — with 20 or more members apiece.

If this happens, it would have major implications on every conference in college football. This report came out after the news of USC and UCLA reportedly planning to leave the Pac-12 for the Big Ten. The SEC and Big Ten could force other conferences to join together to survive.
