re: Who would the SEC court if it ever decides to expand to 16 teams?

I thought vt and unc/nc state would be slam dunks.

But rumors(oh yes those) say the tv deal was not sweetened that much by adding aggies/mizzou and that expanding over 12 created lots of scheduling issues.

If the new playoff is huge money per conference, the more teams in your conf the less each team gets.

So i am not sure vt/nc state move the needle enough for the sec to do it. My bet is slive studies it very carefully before pulling the trigger.

Notre Dame would be a no brainer. OU has a 13 year GOR, so they are not going anywhere. And to take OU, you have to take okie state too. Thats what kept OU from going to the pac 12. Pac didnt want okie state.

SEC has 14 teams. that is a lot of teams. 16 may be too many. Personally i hope the big 12 takes fsu/clemson and stops at 12 for at least 2 years. then if things warrant it, raid the acc again. I dont see the rush.

Ppl are saying ND to the big 12. i cant see the irish in morgantown, lubbock, manhatten kansas, ames iowa on a regular basis. Doubt it happens.
