really surprised you guys with a hard-on for everything SEC aren't already talking about this...
Slive speaks on expansion; where will Tebow go in draft? | Mr. College Football
looks like the SEC would be open to expansion as well...so who do they get?
I heard them talking about it a little on Rivals Radio the other morning. Just caught the tail end of it and they were talking about FSU making that jump mainly.
Thursday they were talking about all conferences going to 16. Bill King was saying that there'd be a good chance Texas and A&M would go to the SEC. He said the two were attached politically at the hip and one would never be in a conference without the other.
id rather have a hard on for a good football conference than a terrible one.
but this only happens if the Big 10 expands. I hope it does not happen, I like the SEC the way it is, it would hurt some of the rivalries.
The teams I could see the SEC going after are FSU mainly, Texas, maybe TA&M, but if I had to pick one team that I would almost guarantee would come if the SEC expands is Clemson.
****it Lung was a lil bit faster.
If the SEC expands by two teams, if Texas would come, the SEC would welcome them with open arms. If UT comes, AnM comes. If UT doesnt come, I could see Clemson and FSU
Texas won't leave the Big 12...the Big 12 does not distribute their revenue equally like most conferences, so right now they are raking in the money with their successes in football, basketball and baseball...unless the Big 12 implodes (which I don't see it doing) Texas will remain where their bread is buttered, and like Lung said...with A&M, they're attached at the hip
WVU better hope the SEC comes calling...the Big East is going to be in shambles...their academic profile fits the SEC, however

Like I said, if the SEC is looking for two schools, I would bet Clemson and FSU come into the fold, maybe GT instead of FSU or Miami instead of Clemson.
Clemson has been talked about before, and would get more revenue in the SEC.
Here is my guess if this was to happen:
ACC:
+WVU and UConn
-GT and Clemson
Big 10:
+ Nebraska, Missouri, Rutgers, Pittsburgh, and Syracuse. Maybe ND if they finally get over themselves and leave Rutgers behind.
Big XII:
+TCU and SMU
-Nebraska and Missouri
SEC:
+GT and Clemson
Pac-10:
+Boise State and Utah
EDIT
Nevermind, im not starting a war in this thread about the SEC/ACC, only the fact that the ACC will lose teams to the SEC if expansion happens.
actually the ACC would go after Syracuse first, since they were in the original discussion, and to add any teams to the ACC, you'll need to votes from the Carolina schools, who are all about basketball
let's say Clemson and GT leave (GT makes more sense than Clemson, but I'll play ball) then the ACC would add 2 schools that play football in FBS WVU and Syracuse, then 2 schools who are basketball schools....Georgetown and one other school...Villanova?
it'd be a serious downgrade for football, but the ACC would become the unquestionable leader in basketball....a win for the ACC imo
Miami cant join the SEC. You have to have something like a minimum of 25 athletic teams and they only have 9.
that makes the most sense to me, it would hurt the ACC in the fall but then itd be like a mini-NBA in the winter.
Clemson has been mentioned many times before, and makes sense distance wise.
GT would almost be guaranteed IMO if the expansion happens if i had to guess, they were in the SEC before and are in Atlanta.
FSU keeps coming up, but I dunno, I just cant see it. Miami cant come, and I dont see them being in the ACC without FSU.
I could just be being short sighted, but FSU just doesnt seem like a realistic scenario
