No. We already have a Florida team. They bring nothing to the table.

No. Why should we try to make the SEC damn near impossible to get through?
Can you imagine a schedule of UGA/UF/bama/auburn/FSU/LSU?
Yeah, sounds like a real fun season.

No. They had there chance. Plus it will not happen, greater chance of Oklahoma.

Useless topic cause FSU wants nothing to do with playing a full SEC schedule.

Yes; obviously top-notch football program, elite baseball program, good basketball program... plus, their fans are great. I attended the Bama-FSU game in Jacksonville a few years ago and had a great time with them (even as Bama was losing). Good competition is what separates the SEC from other conferences, and adding another strong program would only enhance the SEC's overall strength.

If we HAD to expand the conference, yes, they are the first team I would add.
Nice cliché, but there is no "table".

It sounds a HELL of a lot more fun than:
Sept. 6 Sam Houston State, Baton Rouge
Sept. 13 Louisiana-Monroe, Baton Rouge
Sept. 20 Mississippi State, Baton Rouge
Sept. 27 New Mexico State, Baton Rouge
Oct. 18 Kentucky, Baton Rouge
Some of us actually watch college football for the entertainment value of the games themselves, and aren't just interested in the easiest path to championships.

Uhhh there most certainly is to the people who actually make these decisions, and it's money. Why do you think the 2 newest teams in the SEC are from 2 new states? New TV sets, more exposure, more money.
FSU wouldn't add to the SEC footprint.

Never going to happen, as FSU is the dominate team in the ACC.
Also Georgia and Florida rejected FSU idea already.
FSU 15 year run at top 5 finishes is only because they were in the very weak ACC, and 60% of their loses at that time comes from the SEC teams and Miami.

Yes but I would prefer 2 East Coast teams, for instance VT and N.C. State. That would add 2 high population markets in states that I consider part of the Southeast.

FSU can compete for titles every single year in the ACC. Why give that up to join the SEC?
Posted on 12/26/13 at 9:51 am to davesdawgs
I would prefer no more expansion period. I would really prefer we stayed at 12 but that ship has sailed.

I can think of up to four SEC teams that would emerged from FSU's schedule undefeated

Uhhhh, money is money, a table is a table.
I make zero profit from college football. Money is not a concern to ME when someone asks if I would support a team entering the conference.
I view college football as entertainment. When someone asks a question such as the OP, I answer in terms of what I would find most entertaining. I do NOT answer in terms of what I predict the money men in Birmingham would choose when selecting teams for conference expansion.
