I personally think that would be silly. To me that really spreads the conference out too much. I like the way it is now, no matter where you are in the southeast you can get to pretty much any campus without the drive being too extreme. If you brought those four in and went to two 8 team divisions - moving Bama and Auburn to the East - that is still a haul every year for the Mississippi schools, and LSU as well, to get to Austin, College Station, Stillwater and Norman and vice versa. Not to mention what it would be like when you have the cross divisional games.
The other downside of a 16 team super conference is scheduling. Do you get rid of playing every team in your division and play like five and three or four and four each year? Would you play all 7 other teams in your division and play only one team from the other side? Do you increase the conference schedule to 10 games and play 7/3 and only get two OOC games (which would end up being cupcakes every season for everyone)?
