I was always against expansion, 12 was perfect.
When they announced A&M I was like, meh, alright, that's passable, I can live with that. They have a history with Arkansas and LSU and Alabama (via Bear and Stallings) so they kinda fit.
But Missouri? Bleh, still don't think of them as SEC.
Despite the history of the Civil War, most people do not view Missouri as a Southern state.
They were added because the SEC needed a 14th team to even things out and nobody else better was available.
