Larry (Glendale, CA): Do you think Rice and SMU are a better fit for the Big 12 than Iowa State and Mizzou? Mizzou belongs in the Big Ten and Iowa State has no business being in any BCS Conference. Poaching Rice and SMU will get 2 big markets (Houston and Dallas) for the Big 12 and they both have decent to great stadiums with decent to great alumni. Rice and SMU can be placed in the South Division and make it into an All-Texas Division reminding fans of the heydays of the SWC. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State can be moved to the North Division and Oklahoma can renew their rivalry with Nebraska. What do you think?

SportsNation Graham Watson: Wow, resurrecting the SWC, huh? Hmmm... I don't disagree that Mizzou would be fine in the Big Ten. Iowa State is in a downward spiral, but it's been a good team in the past. I don't think Rice and SMU are the answers. I like TCU and Houston better because I think they consistently recruit better talent and have more comparable styles to the teams in the Big 12.
