What would be the "perfect" SEC?

A lot of us take issue with the 2012 expansion, and some of the older folks still have bad blood from the 1992 expansion.
Personally, I think the SEC would work well with 16 teams. What do you think would be the perfect combination of schools in the SEC? Here is my pick:
Eastern Division:
- Clemson*
- Florida
- Florida State*
- Georgia
- Georgia Tech*
- Kentucky
- South Carolina
- Tennessee
Western Division:
- Alabama
- Auburn
- Arkansas
- Louisiana State
- Mississippi
- Mississippi State
- Texas A&M or Texas*
- Vanderbilt
* Added
** Dropped: Missouri
16 teams. 3 to 4 OOC teams added. Divisions split by time zones and actually make georgraphical sense.

I don't even think about the expansions. I think all of the other SEC schools and their fans can eat a bag of dicks.

Nope. South Carolina and Mizzou have run their course with UK. Too easy so they need to leave.

You're just adding to the evidence for the lawsuit

League office not being located in Birmingham, and with no Bama alum employees. Talk about a conflict of interest.

You've lost many times to me bish. Surprised that you're still rocking that razorback. Arkansas fans are KSGs kryptonite. He can't stand our success that his team lacks, as well as our fabulous posting skills.

I made this one a few years ago.
Four 16-team leagues.
or further divide them into two divisions
SEC-----East & West
ACC-----North & South
Big 10--East & West
Pac 16--North & South
Sickest playoffs yet.
There are really only two divisions that are not challenging.....Pac 16 South and Big 10 West
Some VERY good 1 thru 8 seedings without conference championships......conference championships are the real problem. THey won't go away because they make too much money....but think about how much this blueblood playoff would make.
SEC East----------UGA
v------------Peach
ACC North---------ND
Pac 16 North------ORE
v-------------Rose
Big 10 West-------WIS
Pac 16 South------TEX
v-----------Cotton
SEC West----------LSU
ACC South---------CLEM
v-----------Orange
Big 10 East-------OSU
Semis
Sugar LSU v CLEM
Fiesta UGA v ORE
Champ in the Poulan Weedeater Independence Bowl.
UGA v CLEM
don't look but big 10 west has 9.....I don't know what to do with ISU.....cant really drop kansas or KSU

Swap Aggy for TCU, Texas Tech or Baylor.
That's all I've got.

and to get REAL CRAY
here is an old mid major map that is not accurate, but could give you an idea that there are about 64 mid majors taht you could divide up and get some kind of play-IN game to get to the 'Power 4' playoff. Or mid majors may want to stick to having their own playoff.
Like, idunno, have the top 4 teams from each division play a 4 team playoff to get the champ. mid major champ then joins power 4 as an at large in an 8 team playoff.
top 12 seeds
byes
1 Clem
4 UGA
3 ORE
2 OSU
5 Central FL
12 ND
6 OKLA
11 La Tech
7 TEX
10 Utah State
8 WIS
9 Cinci
This is not really ideal as the three teams that play the mid majors may benefit from a tune up while the top 4 get some rust. Not really sure until it would play out.

Not ideal for the SEC or any conference in general, but it could be a good geographical way to split up the big12 and get 4 regions to get playoffs from.
Good stuff. I've done a similar 4 20-team conference format before that brings along some of the biggest G5 teams.
My favorite format though would be 8 12 team regional conferences.
The classic Big East + Penn State
The classic SEC
The classic ACC + several Florida teams
The Southwest conference
The Big Eight
The Big Ten + ND
The Mountain West
The PAC12
Add quality mid majors where needed to get each to twelve teams, and maybe flip some teams to balance the regions.
Each league plays 1 bowl against each other league. 8 team playoff with the first two rounds at campus sites.
College football was always meant to be a regional game, and that's when it's at it's best.
