Expand the Almighty SEC

With the "Big 12" losing a couple if teams to other conferences, it is plausible they could just do away with the "Big 12" all together eventually. What teams would you want to absorb. I would love to see Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Texas A&M. Not so much OSU, just to keep bigger schools in the SEC and split the divisions between Mississippi and Alabama.
Who would y'all want out of Big 12?

Would you rather them join elsewhere and make a conference to compete with us?

Alright ,in exchange for UT, OU, TT and aTm what 4 teams would you release from the Almighty?

A&M in the west as far as Big 12 Va Tech in the east would be a good balance.

read the and as a or. I don't want anyone else in the SEC. You do realize how tough it is already, right?

Compete with us? Hell, they could join another conference...but that won't change the fact that they can't win against an SEC team when it comes to Bowl games. I can't tell you the last time a Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Nebraska, aTm beat an SEC team in a bowl game. Only one I can remember is Kansas State beating Tennessee in the Cotton in 2001. So yeah....let em go to another conference and "compete" against us. They aren't putting us back any.

LSU for making threads like this.

Fine then. Give me A&M because we're rekindling a relationship and Baylor so Vandy has someone to beat up on every once in so often.

Take Iowa out of the discussion. That doesn't make sense at all. If the SEC were to expand, add A&M in the west and VT or Florida State in the east. 14 teams is where i would leave it at

You sir are a scholar and a gentleman.
Posted on 6/18/11 at 12:47 am to Bosethus68
Do not want expansion. Don't care what other teams or conferences do.
Posted on 6/18/11 at 12:47 am to BurtReynoldsMustache
Thank you good sir.

I agree. I like the SEC where it's at with 12 teams. But if the PAC-12 somehow becomes the PAC-16 and then the Big 10 starts to add more teams, i think the SEC would add 2 teams instead of 4. The 3 choices i listed make the most sense geographically IMO.
But if i had to just choose two Big 12 schools i would take A&M and OU.

I like TAMU and FSU, if we're going to expand, but I think we're good at 12. I mean, come on; we've won the last five national championships. That's half a decade of utter dominance. And while the SEC has lost bowl games, we still have yet to lose when it's all on the line (at least since the beginning of the BCS, when the "#1" was pitted against "#2"): from UT in 98 all the way to Auburn in 2010, the best in the SEC has consistently shut down the best of the rest. Losses in bowls, IMO, are more the result of the SEC team being in the wrong frame of mind, whether because of excessive hubris or disappointment of not being in a bigger bowl, while the opposition gets the chance to prove their worth with a shot at a team from the big, bad, SEC...

No expansion, I don't want a team from Texas and another team from florida selling the SEC to recruits.

First, it's late and I can't sleep that's why I made the thread.
Second, LSU has done more for the SEC than USCe has.
Third, I said Ideally, Iowa fits the SEC pretty well, I know Geographically impossible, but hey, TCU wants in the big East
And yall are not taking this hypothetically. Damn not so serious!
