I feel like there would also be a pod of Bama, Auburn, State, Ole Miss, and LSU.

Too good to be true. I wouldn’t even care what happens in the other pods.

Two divisions. The original 10 and the new 10.

Would love to see 2 divisions. The 10 SEC teams before expansion started being on one side, let’s call it the SEC “OG” then the 10 expansion teams, let’s call it the SEC “Pretenders”

The winner of those 2 divisions s play in the SEC championship game.

Then I guess you would have the winners of the pods make the SEC playoffs and also include two wild cards. Seed 3 plays 6 and 4 plays 5. 1 and 2 get byes.


I personally don’t think anybody below a 4th seed should have a chance for a natty (& I’m on the fence even for a 4th seed).

So far, the new members will be ACC (except for those talking about Kansas & WV).
*But WV ain’t “West”, so…?

If 20 teams 4 divisions prob 1vs4, 2vs3 winners play for the SEC title..


Not sure who they will add..NC, Duke Wvu, VTech, Texas Tech, Miami, FSU, Clemson, USF, Louisville, Memphis..they would probably be considered.

It’s almost a necessity to take 4 (unless you’re conceding NC or Fl. to BiG).

NO WAY will the SEC allow B1G go to 24 & not match!

Those aren’t geographically logical (like putting Mizz. in the SEC East (although understand why it was done)).

Well then you are adding..

Texas
Texas A&M
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Kansas
Missouri

Alabama
Auburn
Ole Miss
Miss State
LSU
Arkansas

Tennessee
Vanderbilt
Georgia
Ga Tech
Kentucky
Louisville

Florida
FSU
So Carolina
Clemson
No Carolina
Duke

That’s too many teams and I don’t like it.. but it could work I guess..

16-20 is better imo

Will NEVER happen.
Nor WV nor NCST.

&, as I’ve pointed out before, strong teams in other sports would be gladly welcome!
