Its has been awhile since my college days and statistics for finance majors classes but pretty sure the bigger the sample size the better the predictive results as the higher number of data points, the better your linear regression and less error about the mean on a standard bell curve.
Just as you would not invest in 4 stocks for safe diversification when you could invest in 24 or 48 with much less risk and smoother earnings curves. To be fair over diversification could be just as harmful as under diversification but that is why smart money managers find the sweet spot.
If South Carolina = Coke
And Clemson = Pepsi
You really only need 1 of the two as with similar business types adding both just dilutes your returns while opening you up to greater sector risk. I am guessing folks making money off the whole college football thing are smarter than you or I so I will trust they have not gotten this far by taking narrow windows of financial opportunity at the expense or risk of long term value.
I agree that Clemson added to the SEC would not benefit the SEC
I disagree that 4 data points are better 20

You're mistakenly attributing Alabama's success to the rest of the SEC.
No. Just stating a fact that they're in the SEC. Which you claim is no longer dominant.

ACC has manhandled the SEC head to head.
In the CFP? You have got to be trolling.
I'm only going by the sample size YOU came up with in your original comment. And for 1/4 of that sample size, two SEC teams competed for a title one year after beating a BigXII and ACC team. So where you come up with this CFP has proven the SEC has fallen off, well sir, I'm just not seeing it.

In my lifetime Georgia are only 6-4 against us and we beat you pretty much every time we play in Clemson.
Before 2013 y’all hadn’t beaten us in 23 years. We had won 5 straight times. And 6 of the last 7. Nothing to do with the current states of the program’s but you’re a fig so I thought I’d let you know.

You’re scared brother and that’s alright. That’s all you had to say.

Hell no, The purpose of expansion is always more money. We do not need any school already in our footprint. And we don't need any school from a state with few TV's, like Oklahoma.
IF we were to expend, only take a school like NC State or VA Tech which will bring more $$$ to the SEC.

This is probably not good thinking.
Imagine a scale with 2 sides
Left side = FOX (B1G)
Right side = ESPN (SEC)
IF : SEC raided the ACC for VT and NCST
THEN : B1G raids ACC for UNC and UVA
It is in the best interest of the SEC to firewall the ACC, not raid it, to insure the ACC does not move to the B1G.

Cheese grits you're missing the point, or maybe I'm just not explaining it in a way you can understand.
Posted on 8/26/18 at 7:50 pm to thomass
No.
1) As long as cable rules, it makes no sense financially. Same geographic footprint = same money, but 2 more mouths to feed.
2) I'll always be against adding members from a state where the SEC already has members. And yes, that's for obvious reasons.

Not really that hard a concept to understand.

No, to many top teams in one conference. Would not be good.

No ..no additions..no subtractions
Posted on 8/26/18 at 8:15 pm to thomass
Yes, but only after realignment shifts all the current SEC teams into North and South divisions.

So you want to troll but don't want to engage in serious debates or discussions
Got it
No wonder Clemson will always be on the outside looking in.

No, of course not. Did it come off that way? If it did that was not my intention. I'll try to simplify it.
My original statement was that since the inception of the playoff, the myth of SEC supremacy has been busted. So for me to use data points outside the 4 that make up the playoff era, would be completely idiotic. I mean, why would I make that statement specifically about the playoff era, and then use the data points from the BCS era? I wouldn't, I'd be a stupid idiot to even try that, because it wouldn't make sense. My 9 year old daughter wouldn't even try to support, or refute, an argument specifically about the playoff era with data points from the BCS era. Neither would your children, if you have any. In fact, only an abject moron would try to refute an argument specifically about the playoff era by using data from the BCS era.
I hope that's easier for you to understand. And again, my most sincere apologies if I came off like a troll earlier.

No, fsu had their chance and turned us down. That was when usce and Arky were added.
I do think Clemson would be a good fit for the SEC. Maybe we make a trade for Clemson or get VA tech or Oklahoma to join with Clemson.

Why would Ole Miss care. You'd just be trading one team that beats you in football doe another that would beat you. It's a wash.

This is funny. Another dumbfrick uSCjr. fan taunting Clemson for eating chicken at bojangles, aka their university mascot. Not only will the dumbasses at South Carolina (yes I capitalized it) eat their mascot before all home games, we will also eat you in November because you all suck dick... and not in the good way.
