I think adding 4 teams now is a pipe dream. I think IF we even add any teams now, it will be two acc teams. What would make sense for the 16 Team SEC is 2 Eight Team divisions.
That 4 team pod thing is crazy and would be bitched about forever. What would seem logical would be to move Mizzou to the SECw and add a VA and NC team to the SECe.

So I have seen a lot of talk about a 4 team pod not being an option. This may sound stupid, but would it be to weird to have permanent 4 team pods, with the divisions changing every year? Like the first year, pod A and pod B are in one division. The next year pod A and pod C are in the same division.
That way, instead of having a mini playoff system in the SEC and ruining teams chances of making the final 4, we can just have 2 teams play for the SEC championship like we do now, but this way also everyone will get to play each other much sooner. In 3 years if you rotate every year, or every 6 if you rotate every 2 years.

It is the next logical (if not unavoidable) step when you have the development of megaconferences.
This would allow a four team, two game conference playoff for the conference championship (which will make money just like the CCG introduced in 1992).
The frequency with which some teams play each other will be decreased - but with 16 teams, 4 pods, 1 permanent out of division opponent, you would still have four rotating out of division games per year and that would allow you to get through the rotating 11 teams within six years (very nearly the same timeline we saw with a 12 team sec)
