Who would make the cut? What SEC teams would be left out besides Vandy?

Ironically, LSU would not. There have been 30+ teams more relevant than LSU over the last ten years. tDecline is real.

Tennessee
Florida
Texas A&M
Bubble:
Arkansas
Auburn
Out:
South Carolina
Kentucky
Mizzou
Vanderbilt
Ole Miss
Miss State
The Big 12 would only get Texas and Oklahoma
ACC gets Syracuse, Florida St, Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Miami for sure.
Plus maybe North Carolina and Boston college
Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Nebraska, and Wisconsin are in plus
Iowa, Michigan St, and Minnesota.
USC, UCLA, Oregon, Stanford, Colorado, Washington, and Arizona St are in.

What a stupid azz question. Not only is it stupid, it would make the college game like the boring NFL.

EDIT: Add Virginia Tech and West Virginia and I'm still only at 25. Nebraska I suppose based on history gets it to 26.

That's 26 right there for sure, put in 6 misc. others and you'd have everybody that matters. True both for present relevance and past.

3-league system consisting of 96 teams
Each league broken up into 4 8-team divisions based on geography
8-game playoff to determine league champs, top 2 from each division make it in and league 2 & 3 playoff participants earn promotion to their geographical divisions in leagues 1 and 2 respectively. They replace the bottom two from those divisions who are delegated.
There would be butthurt about initial placement but it would be naturally sorted by year 2.
Reducing scholarships for each program would make things much more interesting as well.
My take on League 1

if any of y'all think the never-will-be-again UMiami and its poor football/fanbase deserves to be in because of their once-upon-a-time history - then so does Minnesota. Canes fans are too busy watching the Dolphins lose on Sunday, anyways.

Why are people including a team like Texas A&M over TCU or WVU? They are barely over .500. WVU, Arkansas, TCU, SCAR, are all vastly more successful.

SEC would get Bama, Auburn, Tennessee, LSU, Florida, and Georgia. The Big Six
Take 6 from each power 5 conference and you get 30. Throw in UCF and Memphis
