Can't keep up...which 2-4 teams is the SEC adding?

These are the 3 schools wanted by the B1G and SEC

ND
FSU
UNC

You take as many of those 3 as you can. The rest is all filler imo.

B1G can have clemson. Give us FSU and the WOLFPACK

I bet we get FSU, Clemson, NC and NC State

I posted on another thread, I think the SEC grabs Clemson and Fla State. I think the SEC wants 24 teams- three 8 team "subconferences"- stretching in a geographic continuity from Texas to the South Atlantic.

We have 16 teams with Texas and OU. That leaves 8 more spots, and you can bring in the heart of the ACC with those 8-
Clemson, Fla State, UNC, NC State, Duke, Virginia, and 2 of: Va Tech, Miami, Georgia Tech, maybe Wake Forest.

That gives you anywhere from 4 six team groups, 3 eight team groups, or 2 twelve team groups. Those groups would basically be the same as the East/West divisions we had, but adding one (or 2). Almost their own conferences, but still under the SEC flag and administration.

It would lock up the South for major college football (the elite talent base), and still maintain a lot of natural rivalries so those groups would be fun. And like Scrooster says in the other thread, it would also give the SEC the NC/Va market for TV viewers.

I don't necessarily think the SEC desired this to happen, but the Big 10 is pushing huge changes in the CFB landscape, with their raid on the Pac 12. Let's remember, that was their longtime business partner, those two conferences were very close, tied together with the Rose Bowl, and would vote in unison (2 of the P5 conferences, meaning they had the advantage in almost every P5 vote). If the Big 10 would stab the Pac in the back, I don't think any other conference, particularly the SEC, can trust them. So I think the SEC is preemptively going to lock up the Southern part of the country.

Not sure I agree with your premise, but a 4-team playoff to determine the winner of the SEC each year would be kind of cool.

That would be the benefit of 4 groups.

I think 3, because LSU likely would fight 4- the West would be Texas, A&M, Mizzou, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and ... LSU. That's basically being evicted from the traditional SEC
Go with 8 teams, and at least LSU can keep Ole Miss and Miss St.

The Atlantic side could be Fla, Clemson, SC, UNC, Duke, NC St, Va, and let's say Miami/Va Tech.

The Central could be Auburn, Bama, Georgia, Ga Tech, UK, Tenn, Vandy, Fla St.

You could try to shuffle that a little, putting 3 of the original 10 SEC in 2 groups, and 4 in the 3rd.

Here's an interesting map, it leaves NC State out but you get the gist

Georgia not playing GT sounds good to me. It’s no fun having to go to Techs rusty old hulk of a stadium every other year and having to put up with around 15,000 obnoxious Techies.
Georgia takes over that ridiculous excuse for a stadium and paints it red. GT adds nothing to any conference. Poor fan support, a mountain of debt and stadium that should probably be condemned. For their name to even being uttered as a possibility for the SEC is ridiculous.

I was somewhat kidding in the beginning.. but this could be great.

NC is intent on not breaking up the Duke rivalry

Clemson’s winning days are over and they don’t even sell beer at their stadium.
