If you could add two teams to the Big 12 who would they be (realistically)?
Mine are Boise State and Oregon State

You do nothing and you wait for the ACC鈥檚 implosion. At that point, you pick off teams to add, three specifically and one best of the rest. That would be Louisville, Virginia Tech, Pitt and in this instance NC State. You add an incredible regional football portion to the conference with must watch TV lineup of 4 added rivalry games.
I could get on board with these 2 bc of my PNW roots.
But from a sports program standpoint here are some better alternatives:
- Nebraska
- Missouri
- Iowa
gap
- Oregon State
- Louisville
- UConn
- VA Tech
- Memphis
- Washington State
I know people will say NE, MO and IA are not leaving and they're probably right, but all 3 programs are a better fit for the Big12 and their fans would probably be happier in the Big12 and they'd have more meaningful regional rivalries. All good for the sport.
If ACC blew up Miami and Florida St, plus Duke North Carolina.
Assuming ACC remained in place, I love Boise State, but I think I would take maybe San Diego St and possibly Oregon st, washigton st, or Boise st. Being a BYU fan and living in Utah I wish I could say Utah St, but unfortunately I don鈥檛 see them as making sense.
