First-year Florida coach Will Muschamp thinks it's inevitable that 16-team conferences are coming.
The SEC has voted to add Texas A&M as long as there are no legal snags, and Muschamp's personal opinion is that the expansion won't stop at 13 or even 14 teams.
"I think we're headed toward 16-team leagues," said Muschamp, who was at Texas before coming to Florida. "I think there will be four of them at some point, personally."
Muschamp added that he thinks it's headed that way because of the "haves and have-nots" in college football right now.
Tennessee coach Derek Dooley is also braced for a major shift in the college football landscape.
"It’s changing and we’ll see where it takes us," Dooley said. "It's up to the presidents and [SEC] commissioner to figure this thing out, and I hope it doesn’t disrupt the great thing we have going right now. That’s what we all hope."
