UNC will not join the SEC. Just like Texas won't leave w/o Oklahoma, UNC won't leave w/o Duke. They rivalry is too strong.

VT also used up every ounce of Governmental power from UVa to get into the ACC...i have a hard time thinking VT will go anywhere and leave UVa behind...

Thats just sick competition. Just give the winner of the Conference Championship the NC(pretty much how it is now), but even if they have 2-3 losses, then!

How do you have the same states in two different divisions?
Posted on 6/8/10 at 8:08 pm to SeattleTiger19
SEC North--
WVU
UK (so we have somebody to beat up on)
SEC South--
Bama
Florida
LSU
Tenn
Georgia
Vandy
Arkansas
Auburn
South Carolina
Florida State
Mississippi
Mississippi State
WVU vs South winner in ATL...sounds fair to me...

If the Pac-16 thing happens the SEC should do this:
SEC West:
LSU
Arkansas
Ole Miss
Miss State
Kentucky
Alabama
Auburn
Florida State
SEC East:
Tennessee
Georgia
Florida
Vandy
South Carolina
Duke
North Carolina
Virginia Tech
Virginia Tech is already good in football, North Carolina's football program is steadily improving and the SEC would instantly become the strongest basketball conference. Imagine regular games in the PMAC against Duke and North Carolina. LSU and Florida State are only about 6-7 hours apart - makes for an easy road trip in football.
Also, this provides potential SEC championship games between big rivalries like: Florida vs FSU in football, Kentucky vs North Carolina or Duke in basketball.

Pick up Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and one other.
How would that basketball contract look ?

TX Legislature will not approve any move without TX Tech, TX A&M, UTX as a package deal.
That is the talk in Houston anyway. More people are interested in Pac 10 alliance on Houston radio.

From another thread...
I think expansion is inevitable. Someone is going to do it, and everyone else will have to follow suit. With that in mind I think the SEC should act now (preemptive strike) and pursue the teams it wants most. I don't really like how 16 teams works out, but I think jumping to 20 teams might be pretty cool though. Imagine this:
Eastern Division: UF, UGA, Tenn, UK, Vandy
Western Division: LSU, Bama, Auburn, Ole Miss, MSU
Atlantic Division: SC, FSU, Miami, Clemson, GT
Southwestern: Arky, UT, TAMU, OU, OSU
Obviously, the schools selected is subject to debate. Then you play an "8+1" conference games schedule. This is essential an 8 game conference schedule with a "cheat" that turns it into a 4 team playoff for the SEC champ. You have 8 conference games that determine the division champs (4 divisional games, 2 games against the "preferred" division, and 1 game with a team from each of the other two divisions). So you pair the Eastern and Western divisions as "preferred" and you play each of those teams (such as LSU vs. Florida) twice every 5 years. Teams in the other divisions will be played once every 5 years (LSU vs. UT, for example). From this you determine your 4 division champs. Then, the last week of the year (the week before the SECCG), you play your "+1" games at neutral sites. For this you pair the Western division with the Southwestern divisions and pair the Eastern division with the Atlantic division. The teams that finished first in the two division will play each other. As will the teams that finished second, and so forth. This will effectively give us a 4 team playoff.
The reason I like this is that the divisional pairings create the old SEC while at the same time expanding into a larger conference. In the process, it creates a 4 team playoff that should make for some great football to watch. Thoughts?
