This fella here has it figured out - if there is realignment, it won't be until two more teams are added, and with the way the grant of rights are, and the fact that Big XII once again neglected to expand at their meetings last week, the likely end game is the Big XII dissolving and some of their teams joining the other power conferences (as opposed to the ACC, which is more stable than the Big XII now - wasn't the case a few years ago). Kansas would more likely wind up in the Big Ten in such a scenario, but I have heard scenarios in which they could be paired with OU to the SEC as straykat has up here, as rejoining Missouri, and staying connected to OU is pretty appealing to them.
At any rate, if two teams join, they'll likely be in the west, whether it's OU, OSU, KU, TCU. WVU obviously is the one difference, if they joined it'd be to the east, but for the rest, you would see Missouri join the west and Alabama and Auburn join the east. This would give us, with the exception of LSU and the Mississippi schools (and SC being in instead), an East division that'd be close to the old school 10-team SEC, and a west that would be essentially the new kids on the block.
Alabama and Auburn would almost certainly be paired together, btw, for those that have one of Auburn or Alabama moving, that won't work as the whole reason we have the protected cross-division rivals now (our relationship with MS St), is because Bama didn't wanna give up the annual Tennessee game, nor did Auburn wanna give up their Georgia game. Putting both in the east, allows all of the combinations to happen, and each team would get a new cross-division rival. If they're interested in made-for-TV, one would probably get TAMU (prob Bama) and the other LSU (probably Aub). Florida and LSU have been looking for a way to end their annual cross-division game as this would be a way. But if they wanna keep teams who've played each other a long time, Bama and MSU actually have one of the longest standing rivalries in the SEC and they could perhaps keep them as permanent rivals. In which case UK would need a new one - Missouri makes the most sense in this case, and that'd be fine with me. Actually, if Kansas was in the SEC, I could see them becoming UK's cross-division rival.
Of course, this is all hypothetical based upon the Big XII collapsing, but that does look more likely today than it did even a week ago, imo.
