The Big 12 looked in dire straights two years ago after the SEC’s heist of Oklahoma and Texas. The conference endured, and it’s enjoying a renaissance. Colorado became the Big 12's latest seizure.

We’re so intrigued by this alignment of Big 12 programs, we’re eyeing a four-team swap with the SEC.

On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams engage in a thought exercise: If the SEC was required to swap four teams in an exchange with the Big 12, which quartet should it say farewell to, and which four teams should it desire in return?

Some choices may seem obvious, but we're thinking outside the box with a couple of selections.

Later in the episode, Toppmeyer unveils his SEC coach power rankings, where Kirby Smart claimed the No. 1 spot. The debate heats up from there.
