With the ACC voting to expand by three teams, the landscape in college football may be changing. While there are more questions than answers right now, here's a look at just a few of the possible fallout scenarios.

The current alignment

ACC	Big East	Big Ten	Big 12	C-USA
Clemson Duke Florida State Georgia Tech Maryland, North Carolina N.C. State Virginia Wake Forest	Boston College Connecticut Georgetown** Miami Notre Dame** Pittsburgh Providence** Rutgers Seton Hall** St. John's** Syracuse Temple* Villanova** Virginia Tech West Virginia *=FB only **=BB only	Illinois Indiana Iowa Michigan Michigan State Minnesota Northwestern Ohio State Penn State Purdue Wisconsin	Baylor Colorado Iowa State Kansas Kansas St. Missouri Nebraska Oklahoma Oklahoma State Texas Texas A&M Texas Tech	Army* Charlotte** Cincinnati DePaul** East Carolina Houston Louisville Marquette** Memphis South Florida Southern Miss Saint Louis** TCU Tulane UAB *=FB only **=BB only

ACC becomes a dominant conference

ACC: Keeps nine current members and adds Miami, Boston College plus either Syracuse or Virginia Tech.

Big East: Keeps football playing schools Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Temple, Syracuse/Virginia Tech and West Virginia and adds Cincinnati, Louisville, Marshall, Memphis and two of the following three: East Carolina, South Florida or UCF.

Big Ten: Keeps 11 current members.

Big 12: Keeps 12 current members.

New kid: Catholic League forms and includes Dayton, DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Notre Dame (except football), Providence, Seton Hall, St. John's, Villanova, Xavier

What it means: ACC and Big East both have 12 football-playing schools -- can you say conference championship game? -- in addition to a solid basketball league. Catholic schools all don't play football, so basketball is the driving force in all decisions. Big East survives, but with Miami leaving, it likely loses its automatic BCS bid while Conference USA now scrambles to rebuild -- or faces extinction.

The Big East protects its own

ACC: Keeps nine current members.

Big East: Keeps Boston College, Connecticut, Miami, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse, Virginia Tech and West Virginia, but adds Louisville and -- dare to dream -- Notre Dame

Big Ten: Keeps 11 current members.

Big 12: Keeps 12 current members.

What it means: Big East's dream scenario, especially if it convinces the Irish to play football in the conference. The conference stays together for football, but jettison's its basketball-only schools to the Catholic League. ACC is the big loser, failing to get Miami, Boston College, Syracuse or Virginia Tech. C-USA remains in limbo.

Another Big 12?

ACC: Keeps nine current members and adds Miami, Boston College plus either Syracuse or Virginia Tech.

Big East: Keeps football playing schools Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Temple, Syracuse/Virginia Tech and West Virginia and adds Cincinnati, Louisville, Marshall, Memphis and two of the following three: East Carolina, South Florida or UCF.

Big Ten: Adds Pittsburgh

Big 12: Unaffected

What it means: Now the Big Ten gets into the mix, plucking Pittsburgh from the Big East and getting to 12 teams to set up its own football title game. Big East rebuilds by raiding the MAC and C-USA. Pittsburgh is one of 37 I-A schools in the Association of American Universities, an upper-crust group of academe. All 11 Big Ten schools are members, and the presidents won't even consider a team that isn't. The academic credentials are there. But Pittsburgh doesn't bring many new TV sets. Plus, will the Big Ten expand just to get a title game? Money isn't usually an issue there.

Another Big 12 -- Take II

ACC: Keeps nine current members and adds Miami, Boston College plus either Syracuse or Virginia Tech.

Big East: Keeps football playing schools Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Temple, Syracuse/Virginia Tech and West Virginia and adds Cincinnati, Louisville, Marshall, Memphis and two of the following three: East Carolina, South Florida or UCF.

Big Ten: Adds Missouri

Big 12: Scrambles for 12th team.

What it means: Now the Big 12 is involved, losing Missouri to the Big Ten, which wants to expand into another state and another big television market (St. Louis). Big 12 is made up mostly of big state schools so it may be a tough match to fill the spot, but TCU, Tulane or Colorado State could be a match here. But, after having been burned by having the championship game and losing possible BCS bids, is the conference in a huge hurry to find a 12th member?

Penn State saves the Big East

ACC: Keeps nine current members and adds Miami, Boston College plus either Syracuse or Virginia Tech.

Big East: Adds Penn State, Louisville, Cincinnati

Big Ten: Goes back to 10 teams

Big 12: Unaffected.

What it means: Penn State keeps the Big East respectable and helps it hold on to its automatic BCS bid. This also makes the Nittany Lions the big fish in a small pond (no offense to either Syracuse, BC, or Va. Tech) and has a much easier road to the BCS. The Big Ten actually lives up to its name and C-USA is again left scrambling to fill some holes.

Another Big 12 -- Take III

ACC: Keeps nine current members and adds Miami, Boston College plus either Syracuse or Virginia Tech.

Big East: Keeps football playing schools Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Temple, Syracuse/Virginia Tech and West Virginia and adds Cincinnati, Louisville, Marshall, Memphis and two of the following three: East Carolina, South Florida or UCF.

Big Ten: Adds Notre Dame.

Big 12: Unaffected.

What it means: Not wanting to let the ACC steal all the spotlight, the Big Ten is now as powerful as any conference in the country after adding the Irish and is also deep enough now to have a conference championship game. This also possibly puts pressure on the Pac-10 to add two more teams (San Diego State? UNLV? BYU? Utah?) to be able to have a conference title game, since they'd be the only conference with an automatic BCS bid that wouldn't have a championship game.

The Big East strikes back

ACC: Left stunned.

Big East: Keeps football playing schools Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Temple, Syracuse/Virginia Tech and West Virginia and adds Florida State, Maryland, Louisville, Cincinnati

Big Ten: Unaffected.

Big 12: Unaffected.

What it means: Instead of being raided, the Big East makes a bold move and raids the ACC of two of its marquee teams and one of its big TV markets. The Big East also adds Louisville and Cincinnati and suddenly has a conference championship game as well. Meanwhile, the ACC is wondering what hit them and likely raids the MAC and C-USA (hello East Carolina) to fill the void.
