Saying the SEC should add Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, and Texas A&M.

Yes it would. I'm thinking we kick out Arkansas and add FSU, GA Tech, Clemson, Miami (maybe), Texas (maybe).

The Big 10 is gonna screw up college football with all this. The Big East and Big 12 might cease to exist completely and you would be left with 4 BCS conferences.

Dumbest idea for expansion I've heard yet.

I personally think that would be silly. To me that really spreads the conference out too much. I like the way it is now, no matter where you are in the southeast you can get to pretty much any campus without the drive being too extreme. If you brought those four in and went to two 8 team divisions - moving Bama and Auburn to the East - that is still a haul every year for the Mississippi schools, and LSU as well, to get to Austin, College Station, Stillwater and Norman and vice versa. Not to mention what it would be like when you have the cross divisional games.

The other downside of a 16 team super conference is scheduling. Do you get rid of playing every team in your division and play like five and three or four and four each year? Would you play all 7 other teams in your division and play only one team from the other side? Do you increase the conference schedule to 10 games and play 7/3 and only get two OOC games (which would end up being cupcakes every season for everyone)?

they might as well just end the idea of conferences if that were to happen.

You want to know how to solve the conference expansion problem? Notre Dame to the Big Ten, Boise State and Utah to the Pac 10. Problem solved.

Can we not just leave things the way they are? I mean, frick. I don't like Arkansas but I don't want them out of the SEC.

right, and that's what makes sense. one or two conferences adding a team or two...not creating some watered down mosh pit of fail.

The SEC is not going to expand and none of the teams who are currently members are going to leave.
