If the Big Ten stands pat for now with just adding Nebraska and the Pac 10 adds just one more team (Utah maybe?) then the SEC stands pat. If the Pac 10 does the monster Pac 16 they mentioned as an option they are considering, then I see the SEC adding two more teams, to grow to a larger but still manageable 14.<br /><Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764879936773128573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35816861.post-26193854919009739482010-06-11T07:06:36.856-04:002010-06-11T07:06:36.856-04:00Welcome Back!Welcome Back!Trader Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079028073096259737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35816861.post-29839092012058886562010-06-11T06:15:40.849-04:002010-06-11T06:15:40.849-04:00Right, TV markets are obviously the #1 reason for ...Right, TV markets are obviously the #1 reason for expansion, and the #1 reason FSU, Miami, Clemson, and Georgia Tech don't make sense.

But I understand that's totally unrealistic.<br /><br />So how about A&M, Missouri, VT, Clemson/GT? I hope that if the SEC does expand, they keep things contiguous.<br /><br />Regardless, I'm in total agreement that Texas A&M = good, Texas = bad.Jamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07831794019607815076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35816861.post-83246276508005412432010-06-10T18:02:40.437-04:002010-06-10T18:02:40.437-04:00UVA, as well as the Tobacco Road schools, will NEV...UVA, as well as the Tobacco Road schools, will NEVER join the SEC. They will always view the SEC as academically "inferior", and they're simply too uppity for this conference. <br /><br />I like VT, GT, Clemson, and FSU, though. Keep Miami out because they can't attract the same TV market and fan base as the other four.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15160599394584455215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35816861.post-49497554571820314332010-06-10T15:41:44.429-04:002010-06-10T15:41:44.429-04:00I prefer Va Tech, UVA, Clemson.
