If I could change it I would only drop Missouri and pick up Duke.

Definitely drop Arkansas. I see no upside in either their athletic program or academics.

Then I would drop South Carolina.

I would pick up Oklahoma, Clemson, UNC, and VT.

By dumping 2 teams and picking up 4 teams, who would they all be? Prominently for football, but for other sports as well. Academics don't apply (Vandy) even though your baseball team is really good.

Drop: Arkansas and Ole Miss. Neither team ever wins anything at any sport hardly. inb4arkansasandtrack

Thought about Vandy or UK but Vandy has good baseball and UK good basketball. aTm is a good offensive team, really fits in better with the Big12 though. At least they hold their weight.

Pick Up: FSU (would be great being able to play them every year. Adds to the strength of the conference and they get to lose.) Virginia Tech (always has a good defense). UNC for basketball and decent football. Clemson (Dabo would lose his job in 2 seasons)

Thought about Duke, but we don't need another Vandy. Good at basketball and mediocre at football but on the rise.

I think we can all agree that the Mizzou experiment was sometimes fun but has run it's course. So they're out. Other team...I don't care. Maybe Arkansas?

I'm down for adding UVA but couldn't deal with the snobbery of UNC folks. It's overwhelming. Maybe NC State. They're a bunch of dumb rednecks that like to have a good time with a solid little brother complex. Would probably fit in well.

Most people will tell you one of the North Carolina schools are the most coveted in the ACC but UVA is the crown jewel of the conference.

Vanderbilt is the one school in the SEC that truly cannot be dropped without bringing in another private school.

UNC fans can certainly be snobby, but I have always found UVA fans to be far more snobbish and smug than UNC fans.

Also, to the OP, why the f*ck would you ignore academics? They are, you know, the reason the universities exist, and I would like the schools that Auburn associates with to be well rounded institutions of higher education.

I won't dispute that they may be that way about academics. But I've never talked to a UVA grad (and I'm married to one) that's been snobbish about their athletic program. Unless it's lacrosse, at which point, whatever. UNC fans, on the other hand, just think they are awesome at everything...all the time.

In the past I have included SCar in teams to remove but they are growing on me now. Especially if we added Clemson and they could have instate conference rivalry.

That said, drop the last two, neither made sense and there is nothing that excites me about those games.They add nothing, period.

Along with Clemson add FSU, Miami and bring back GaTech. I know, two private schools would suck but they do play good football pretty consistently.
