[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 988296, member: 198"] I'm arbitrarily choosing your post to respond to because it's relevant and I've been thinking about this lately. This will not happen, but at some level it makes sense to me. The SEC wants to own the Southeast, where College Football is king over any other sport. The states they're in now, and where they could want to be with their in-state rivals. Conference of 24 teams that basically puts a fence around the Southeast (plus TX, OK, and MO). Texas: UT and TA&M Oklahoma: Oklahoma Louisiana: LSU (only 1 major team in LA) Arkansas: Arkansas (only 1 major team in AR) Missouri: Missouri (only 1 major team in MO) Mississippi: Ole Miss and Miss St. Alabama: Alabama & Auburn Tennessee: Vanderbilt & Tennessee Georgia: GT and uga Florida: FSU and UF South Carolina: Clemson and South Carolina North Carolina: UNC & NC State Virgina: UVa and VPI Kentucky: Louisville and Kentucky I don't see this happening or anyone really wanting this to happen, but I could see it being explored once CFB blows up. You're tying up the two biggest programs in each of the states of interest. This maintains the regionality without reducing the product. Schools that don't want this: Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia. Six team pods (leaving out Miami and Ok. St.) Florida/Georgia/South Carolina North Carolina/Virginia/Kentucky Alabama/Mississippi/Tennessee Texas/Oklahoma/Missouri/Arkansas/Louisiana There are enough good teams, medium teams, and lower level teams that it's not just crushing every week. It would make for compelling match-ups and good football. Hey, it's the off-season. CFB is going to blow up and conferences as we know them will be a thing of yesterday. [/QUOTE]
