Serious questions for all my SEC brethren.

If your team was offered to swap places with Clemson, would you want to leave the grind of the SEC so your team can play their schedule every year?

Secondly, given the great success Clemson has had in the CFP(5 straight appearances, 2 NCs and 1 still to play) what do you think their success would be the last 5 years? I think it's fair to compare being in the SEC West and the SEC East.

I can give a great example of this OP. Being an LSU fan, playing Alabama is painful and the most anticipated game all year. Clemson never experiences that. Also, there are at least 4 games each SEC team plays every year that they can lose. Clemson, maybe one.

No. To be the best, you gotta beat the best. And I love all you meth-addled redneck arse clowns way too much.

No. There's more to the football season than just the playoffs. Why would I give up great games throughout the season against LSU, AU, A&M, UGa and the like for BC & Syracuse?

This is the same argument imbeciles use against the 9-game conference schedule. "It's too hard!" They'd rather watch the college football equivalent of a snuff film against the likes of Furman or Western Carolina than a competitive game against an SEC foe.

Yes
But we probably wouldn’t win a title anyway

Considering that 100% of Clemson fans wish their team was in the SEC, I’m going to have to go with “no.”

I’d rather be in the conference every other major non-SEC team wishes they were a part of.

That's laughable.
Playing arkansas, ole miss, vandy, and tennessee is not hard.
Hell... the past decade, Auburn is about the equivalent of Georgia Tech. A couple of division championships and the occasional bowl win.

What is hard is creating a real OOC schedule with Notre Dame, Clemson, Oregon, Oklahoma, FSU, Texas, and Ohio State. You are going to trade an extra rotation with Vandy and lose those OOC matchups? That is what the bigxii has done. Look at their 2019 schedule with 9 conference games

I'm not sure would want to drive 12 hours to Clemson. Starkville is only like 3. I hear they have plenty of outdoors to enjoy in south carolina so that is a plus

FSU can't fill their stadium when they are good, now they can't fill it at all.

They may have gotten some cheap acc titles, but they would be far bigger brand wise and financially in the sec as they are more in the sec footprint than even uf.

Clemson would be the same with several huge games a year instead of none until the playoffs.

Last time Georgia played Ole Miss, we beat your assess to the tune of 45-14 - and it wasn't even that close.

And a National Championship. I know y'all forgot what that's about, but don't be a goddamn retard.

No. The West has been tougher for years. That's been proven.

I did forget. I hadn't driven by that church in a long time.

Sorry. From where we sit, auburn looks an awful lot like a mid tier ACC program.

Even if the money was the same (it isn't)

Even if the exposure was the same (it isn't the SEC Network makes the ACC Network look like a joke)

Even if the recruiting was the same (for most ACC teams it isn't)

Then still hell no.

SEC for life.
