If the a raid on the Pac 12 were to result in the Big 12 with 12 teams, SEC the BIG and the ACC with 14, then 9 teams left over from the Pac 12, and the lone WVa dropped from the Big 12 would remain. But, which Pac 12 teams would go to to the SEC, the BIG and ACC? That's a long trip for away games. Some conference realignment would be necessary to allocate the remaining team currently in the BIG, ACC or Big 12 might go to the SEC or BIG and the Big 12 would need an additional 2. Several might be eliminated from the move or new conference alignments altogether. Another thought is to have only 12 teams in each conference which would eliminate 6 teams in three of the remaining CFP conferences.
Another probable realignment is to have an additional conference (six total) and have a playoff with six teams, the winner of each conference, not the best record, but the conference winners only. No more "well Bama didn't make the SEC championship game, but they are in because they are still top ranked" type bull crap. If the kids want to be in the pros, they should have the experience of how the playoffs work in the pros.
How ever the realignment is accomplished, it will be one big cluster F and a lot of folks will be pissed when it is done.
