If the SEC adds Clemson and FSU, I think that'll be the end of SEC expansion

Just my thoughts....

If they add North Carolina along with Clemson and FSU, then I think they'll be open to one more school.

If it gets to that point, I think it would be: N.C. State.

They're very good academically and they have a good well-rounded sports program. Of all the North Carolina schools, they're the one that's most serious about the sport of football.

SEC expansion isn’t going to be “over” until it’s basically AFC and NFC with the Big Ten.

I don't think the SEC will voluntarily double down in states.

I also think at a certain point you don't need additional football powers. Schedule is going to be insane when it goes to 9 games.

I think when it gets to that point they will focus on North Carolina and UVA

Considering money is driving all of this, eventually the conversation of kicking schools out will have to begin. No network is paying billions of $$$ for Mizzou vs Vanderbilt or Miss St. vs Arkansas.

So, NC determines if 4+ are added. No NC = just FSU & Clemson?

They really want UNC too so there will have to be 4 teams. Maybe NC stare, Duke or someone

No way we should add these 2 teams. No way. North Carolina and Virginia is the place to be.

I don’t want any more expansion.

Give me my Power5 back

Give me my SEC West and SEC East back.

The SEC needs to expand out of the South if it wants to survive, let alone keep up.

UNC and Virginia are the best two additions. Then Florida State. Then Kansas.

Two South Carolina schools would be a giant waste. Being the undisputed best basketball conference in the history of college sports would be worth 5% of the conference membership.

The Vandys and Dukes of the world will get left out at the end of the day. It’ll eventually be football only conferences.

We don't need Clemson and their weird arse fanbase in the SEC.

If this were to happen at this point there is no need for a natty to be played. Conference winner would be that. At that point there are what 2 other teams that would even be worth playing.
