Here's what a friend thinks will happen.
I’m not seeing 4 divisions. I see 2 8-team divisions with a 9 game
conference schedule that does not include permanent opponents. Each
team would play the other 7 teams in its division and rotate through the
8 non-divisional teams every 4 years. I think that is a more likely
scenario. You would only upset a couple of cross-divisional rivalries
in the process.
The format of the new playoffs will force the major football schools
into a realignment IMO, and I think you come out of this with a new (and
improved) big-time college football association (not the NCAA). I’m not
sure the NCAA will have a lot to do with this except as a ruling body
and enforcement group. The major football schools will align into 4
16-team conferences, and each conference will have 2 8-team divisions.
The SEC, ACC, Big 10 and PAC 12 would expand and take in what is
important from the Big 12, (probably OU, OSU, Texas, Baylor, Texas
Tech). Plus ND would get sucked in to one of the conferences.
You will have either an 8 or 16 team playoff depending on how it is
setup. For a 16-team playoff, each division in the conference would
have a playoff to determine who advances to the conference
championship. In an 8-team playoff, you would just have the winner of
each division go directly to the championship. The winners of the
conference championship would go to the semi-final game and so forth.
It’s all about the money, and something like this would generate the
most money. You would essentially be adding 1 game to the schedule for
the teams that advance if you have a 16-team divisional playoff game.
The schools that get left out of the big conferences would be very
upset, but that’s the way life would be.

understanding is the SEC is waiting for the Pac 10 and the Big 10 to
make the first move.
No one cares what the ACC is doing. : )

I hope they add 2 more teams and split into 4 divisions before much of
this schedule is played out.

The Florida Gators already knew that Alabama would be their
opponent on the new rotating schedule with the Western Division
starting in 2014. Now, the Gators know the rest of the lineup
against the West through the year 2025.
The SEC announced a 12-year rotation of non-division opponents Monday.
The league's athletic directors reconfirmed the rotation at their
May meeting after deciding to remain with an eight-game SEC
schedule — with one permanent non-division opponent and one rotating.
UF's permanent opponent from the West is LSU.
The Gators first rotating opponent is Alabama, which then will not
come to Florida Field until 2021.
The Gators — and the league's 13 other schools — will not play the
non-divisional rotating opponents in back-to-back seasons. This
will allow schools to play all conference opponents on a more
frequent basis.
Also, the rotation for the first six years is not the same as the
rotation in the second six in order to maintain four home
conference games and four road games per school.
Here's a look at UF's rotating schedule against teams from the
West: 2014 — at Alabama; 2015 — Ole Miss; 2016 — at Arkansas; 2017
— Texas A&M; 2018 — at Mississippi State; 2019 — Auburn; 2020 — at
Ole Miss; 2021 — Alabama; 2022 — at Texas A&M; 2023 — Arkansas;
2024 — at Auburn; 2025 — Mississippi State.
