I agree with your post but competing in the SEC versus the PAC is a killer for Vanderbilt
I disagree fully. Fans tend to be biased towards their own conference and look at the present situation instead of taking a broader historical perspective.
The SEC East historically only has 2 Nationally relevant teams who can CONSISTENTLY compete. Florida and Georgia.
The Pac 12 has Oregon, USC, UCLA, and once upon a time Cal was a consistent winner, additionally Stanford plays Notre Dame every year. The Pac 12 is historically stronger than the SEC East, and from a broad perspective I think it would be easier from a scheduling standpoint to maintain consistent success at Vanderbilt.
Vandy gets 4 easy OCC games. Then they get Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina, and their West rival is Ole Miss(who isn't exactly a historic powerhouse).

Historically speaking, Tennessee has to be considered nationally relevant in addition to UF & Georgia. Only the last decade they've sucked arse.

This thinking is so wrong on so many levels. LINK
Both Alabama and Tennessee are ahead of Southern California
10 or 14 current SEC schools (and 1 former SEC school) are ahead of Stanford

To say Oregon is historically anything shows what a complete and utter buffoon you are. Sure, the last couple decades are nice but when they play anyone at all when it's on the line they fold like a cheap suit. UT, Ga, Auburn and LSU are all historically better than Oregon and have all won titles; Oregon hasn't. You lost any argument you may have had right there.

WTF????
UGA has one a grand total in 1 National Championship, 3o something years ago.
Florida was nationally and regionally irrelevant before Spurrier.
Bama and Tennesse are historically the 2 best SEC programs, followed distantly by LSU.
