My thoughts in 1990 when it was announced are the same as they are today. I don't like, I will never like and I will never look at those teams as SEC teams. I never cared for the SECCG either. I didn't think it was right for a team that is technically 4th in the SEC to have a chance to win the conference because they won a shitty division. It's all about money so it's going to be what it's going to be.

I'd personally rank them just like you've listed them.

Ok there is no way you have 6-0 likes to down votes on each of your comments. You definitely have that many alters haha


I just saw this comment and this is hilarious lol.

I’ve never had an alter. Only time I’ll have an alter is the day they ban me and I’ll come back as RamboMizzouII

I’ve said some borderline shite over the last 10 years so I’m surprised it hadn’t happened yet.

Overall, they're good.

Missouri has felt like an outlier because they were assigned to the East.

I wish we could have balanced western expansion with eastern expansion, so it doesn't feel as much like a partial Big 12 merger, but that's how it goes.

Hindsight is 20/20, and while I still feel usce is the best fit. Ou and texas are the best adds. Should of gotten miami or fsu instead of arky. And clemson is a better football fit for sec than usce. It's fun to hate but aggie was a solid addition

And that rivalry is considered one of the best in the country.


Ah yes. One of the best in the country.

So great, and well-known, that most SEC fans had never even heard of it before you joined the league. I remember being surprised that Mizzou/KU was considered an intense rivalry.

I had literally never heard that before 2012, and I live about 30 minutes from the state of Missouri.

To be fair it is one of best considering the hate goes back just before the Civil War.

I like Arkansas and South Carolina. They fit geographically and culturally. I hate the Missouri, A&M, UT, and OU additions. They don't belong, but unfortunately culture and geography are no longer accounted for in today's college football, so what can you do?

Arkansas and SC belong and the others are yet to be determined. I really wish it would have stopped at those 2. At my age they have been around most of my life.

Not sure why the SEC needs 16 teams, but it's a good slate to add. Big drawback is there are fewer titles per capita now.

Arkansas and South Carolina said yes when Florida State said they couldn't compete in the SEC so they have my respect.

I just want to chime in and say Mizzou can frick off.
There is nothing "southern," much less "southeastern" about Columbia, Missouri, which is closer to Lawrence, KS, Manhattan, KS, Ames, IA, and Champaign, IL, than it is to Fayetteville. It's a midwestern, "Great Plains" school and they need to frick off.

Arkansas and SCarolina feel natural, like they should have been a part from the beginning. I'm very happy to have Oklahoma and hate to admit 8&4 as well. 8&4 has just always been so much fun to beat up on, on the field, courts, and message boards..... The others.. eh.

A&M does not want to fit in. They want be be Alabama’s doormat/cock holster, and act like they’re somehow cool by association.
