If the SEC imploded 5 years ago

If the SEC imploded the way the Big 12 did who would the SEC have added?
Year is 2010. LSU and Arkansas left for the Big 12. Kentucky left for the Big 10 and Florida left for the ACC.
That leaves the SEC as an eight team conference:
1.Bama
2. Auburn
3. OM
4. Miss St
5. Tenn
6. Vandy
7. UGA
8. USC
Who are the first two schools the SEC adds to reach 10 schools before the start of the next football season?
Who are the next two teams they add to reach 12 schools again?

A retrohypothetical conference implosion and expansion thread?
Please, Odin, let football season start already.

Well, I'll kick it off.
I would say they would not add any Texas schools because they are to far west. With LSU and Arkansas gone there is just to big of a geography gap.
They add: UNC and Virginia Tech first.
Then they add Virginia and West Virginia.

North Carolina, North Carolina State, Georgia Tech, and Clemson.
eta: Just realized that would be poaching the ACC hard
NC ST and Georgia Tech would be surefire, though.
eta2: Louisville and Memphis

How would you have added ACC schools if the conference was imploding? It would have been schools like Louisville, Cincy, WV, USF or UCF

If the SEC ever "imploded" I guarantee other conferences would see major changes also.

Exactly.
I say ECU, WVU, UCF and Louisville.

Here is the problem with that sort of implosion, teams from a power conference like the ACC, Big 12, Big 10 would point and laugh at the idea of the joining a crippled SEC. Which would mean either raiding a dying Big East or looking to lower tier conference teams.
Unfortunately most lower tier conference teams would be a no go from the start. Memphis brings nothing but basketball and that would give us three teams in Tennessee. Ole Miss and Moo State would throw a wobbler at the mere thought of USM joining. Tulane maybe? UCF? Raid the Sunbelt?
The SEC would be crippled.

I don't see how the SEC would be crippled. Alabama was coming off a championship and the SEC was bulletproof at the time. I'm sure that many P5 conference schools would be jumping at the opportunity to fill the voids in the SEC. Memphis has been a sleeping giant anyway, and the surge of SEC money would wake that giant.

Not if four major programs had just jumped ship for other conferences and the money involved was going to be significantly less than where they were.
The Big 12 was fresh off 2008 when they had three schools ranked in the top 5 for a good portion of the year and it still fell apart and had to settle for a MWC school and a Big East school
This thread is retarded though so this will probably be my last post

This is topic is strange, but if we are playing along and the ACC had just poached UF, you are exactly right no way UNC or anyone else is leaving. UCF would probably be one of their first options just to try and save the conference.
