I know it won't and I don't want it to, but if it does we should add Miami and Florida State, not Oklahoma, much more tradition and would make interesting games.

One Florida team is more than enough.

The ACC isn't losing anyone with a $50 million dollar exit fee over the next decade and the new 20 year ACC contract.
Maryland had to settle for $31 million to leave and that was only because they didn't vote for the Grant of Rights that eventually passed.

What in the world would we gain by adding 2 more Florida schools?

Does Miami even still have a fanbase left?

Their glory days are a distant memory.

Why? That's too many blue-bloods in one conference IMO

Add Hawaii to the east and after Brexit maybe the UK will embrace American football and we can add them to the west.
And keep AU in west and Mizzou in the east.

FSU and Miami aren't "blue bloods".

Unless Oklahoma bolts the Big 12, SEC expansion is done for a while. Especially with the new ACC Network in place.

Expansion when it does happen, if it does happen, will be about TV markets not teams. We will get a team from Virginia and North Carolina, likely either VA or VA Tech and NC State.

If it's all about TV markets, the SEC should make a business decision and kick you, AR, and the MS schools out of the conference just for the dough amirite?

This. Add from the two southern states not yet a part of the conference and then realign the divisions (move Mizzou and Vandy to the West, Auburn to the East). So you'd have:
East
UGA
UF
UTk
Auburn
USCe
UK
NC State
VT or UVA (UVA could essentially take Vandy's place and be an upgrade in basketball)
West
Bama
LSU
A&M
Ole Miss
MSU
Arky
Mizzou
Vandy (RIP)

Payed $31 million to leave and now we're hearing that they regret it.

FSU and Clemson. Play with the big boys for crying out loud.

I don't know, the NFL gave them three franchises but what do they know.
