Not interested. The myth of SEC supremacy has been thoroughly busted since the inception of the playoff. Going from the ACC Atlantic to the SEC East would be a downgrade in competition anyway.

Historically Clemson is very up and down, FSU would look a lot different in the sec.

Disagree with this. When streaming takes over, size of fanbases will trump location. Teams like Rutgers won't last in the B1G.

A USCjr fan calling another fan base “chickenshits” as they praise their rooster mascot that they eat at bojangles before each game. Oh the irony

We have a .688 winning percentage against Clemson all time. I would absolutely support playing them every year. It's basically a free conference win.

This is the argument, but I am not sold. In fact, I am more thinking contraction over the long term over expansion as attendance continues to fall. Say what you will about the SEC but they have sports across the fall, winter, and spring which provides year round content. Clemson really is a 1 trick pony and Louisville would be a better addition than them and Line Beards are not getting an SEC invite in my lifetime.

They will because Rutgers and Maryland allow the B1G teams like OSU and UM to recruit the east coast. This has already begun to happen and will continue to do so. East coast is also full of B1G alumni from the core B1G schools so adding Rutgers gets them premium rate for those alumni.

SEC is already in SC with Cocks and FL with Gators. Hell the Bumbles make the most sense to rejoin the SEC and pretty sure that will not happen even tho it would cement ATL for the SEC and give the SEC a trip flight AAU academic school. In addition it probably would give the biggest boost for donor dollars of existing SEC schools.

I don't know, bro. In my lifetime Georgia y'all are only 6-4 against us and we beat you pretty much every time we play in Clemson. With Clemson being the 2nd best program in America right now I don't think you can chalk up the Tigers as a guaranteed win.

Clemson: wouldn't be my top choice, but sure, they'd be a decent fit.

fsu: never. Would rather have Wake Forest, Fresno State, or The University of Alaska-Fairbanks.

Clemson's home schedule, other than SC (and that's not all that great,) is atrocious. I cannot imagine getting excited about a hot matchup with Syracuse or Duke. Even Louisville is garbage.
