Not sure if anyone has done this. I asked chatgpt the following question:

Based on what you know about college football if the sec and big 10 were to expand to 20 teams who would they select?

Here is the answer I got:

ChatGPT
The hypothetical expansion of the SEC and Big Ten to 20 teams involves a blend of current trends in college athletics, market attractiveness, academic prestige, and athletic competitiveness. Here are potential candidates for each conference:

SEC Expansion to 20 Teams​

  1. Clemson: A football powerhouse with a strong regional fit.
  2. Florida State: Strong football tradition and enhances the Florida market.
  3. Miami: Bolsters the conference's presence in Florida and adds a historically significant football program.
  4. Virginia Tech: Brings in the Virginia market and has a competitive football program.
  5. North Carolina: Adds a strong academic institution with competitive sports programs, expanding the conference's footprint into a new market.
  6. Oklahoma State: Following the move of Oklahoma, its in-state rival could also be a contender.
  7. West Virginia: Geographic fit and competitive in multiple sports.
  8. NC State: Expands the SEC’s footprint in the Carolinas, with strong athletics.

Big Ten Expansion to 20 Teams​

  1. Notre Dame: A historic program with national appeal and strong academics, long considered a Big Ten fit.
  2. Kansas: Brings a powerhouse basketball program and adds to the academic prestige.
  3. Pittsburgh: Strengthens the conference's presence in Pennsylvania and adds a historic football program.
  4. Iowa State: Geographic fit, academic alignment, and competitive in several sports.
  5. Syracuse: Expands the market into New York and has a strong basketball tradition.
  6. Virginia: Strong academic institution with competitive sports programs.
  7. Duke: Another academic powerhouse with a storied basketball program.
  8. Georgia Tech: Brings in the Atlanta market and aligns well academically.
These selections are based on current trends and speculation and could change based on various factors, including market dynamics, university priorities, and changes in the college athletics landscape.

NOTE: ChatGPT data cutoff is September 2021. It is interesting to see an AI make predictions based on the data it has available though.

Sadly we are at #8 for the big10 so basically cfb expansion would kill us.

We’re fine right where we are.
I don’t want to be a mediocre team in a big conference. Fine with a slim chance to win this one. We should be in the top 3 or 4 teams in the ACC every year.
