re: Would you accept Notre Dame in the SEC?

Maybe, I don't see them winning the conference but they wouldn't fall off like that. Since the the first expansion the only sec team that's gotten worse is arky. Usce never won a bowl game pre sec, aTm/Missouri are achieving similar results to the big 12 but the national perception is better due to tougher scheduling. People often forget tough schedules forge tough teams. Honestly notre dame might remain a 9-10 win program but be a hell of a lot tougher.
