ACC > SEC - Why Bama needs to join the ACC

A lot of good points here. I edited the title to expand the discussion a bit.

To flip the discussion I see a lot on this board, maybe Bama should join the ACC. The top football teams in the conference are better now than the SEC and it would generate interest in their basketball program. The baseball programs are also equally competitive as the SEC. They would also attract the high tuition paying out of state students all up the east coast.

With Bama leaving, the SEC could go ahead and commit to their western expansion and replace them with Oklahoma and more Texas schools.

Last year alone, the ACC went 10-4 overall against the SEC, 3-1 in in-state rivalry games and 4-1 in postseason games. There's simply more quality depth over there in terms of coaches and programs, which used to be the foundation of the SEC's self-confidence.

Alabama is the only SEC school to produce a Heisman winner and a national champion in the last four years, reducing everyone else in the league to a sidekick. Meanwhile, two ACC schools have celebrated Heismans - FSU with Jameis Winston and Louisville with Lamar Jackson - while Florida State and Clemson have earned national titles.
