The SEC is doing fine at it is. We are the dominant conference. Why would Slive and the University's upset the ship? More $$$$ is the answer. It's the state of corporate America. Mo Money.

You also want to have 1st pick of the girls at the dance, IMO. Better to be proactive than reactive. They hosed the mergers last year, we don't need to sit around for them to get it right. I'm not a fan of picking up MO or good teams in states we are already in. VT to me makes too much sense. Even picking up a TT team makes more sense to me than MO.

People don't like change, that's what 90% of this is about.

No matter who they add it messes up the landscape of the SEC. You have to think. The SEC is a conference of history and tradition of teams who have been playing each other for 30,40, or 50 years and some even more. It's what makes this conference the best in the nation because of it's history and tradition. Why would you want to change that.

It's pretty common for the SEC to adjust it's landscape. Arkansas and South Carolina haven't been in this conference very long. Georgia Tech hasn't been gone for long.

I think A&M and the SEC are a great fit with Bear Bryant and Arkansas being common denominators. Bryant coached at A&M and Alabama. Arkansas and A&M would be re-united from their days in the Southwest Conference.

I see you have 17 post. Little word of advice the things you read on here don't let them keep you up. If you do you will never get any sleep. Goodnight and take care.

Sure they haven’t been good since 2000 while having good classes, but they were under Bobby “I don’t know the 4th quarter score” Bowden during that time who was far past his prime. Now they are under Jimbo, and we saw what he did last year in his FIRST season... get ready, he is bringing the Noles back to dominance. This spells trouble for us. So needless to say, these next 2-3 years of recruiting and performance are vital to the next decade. But we can do it.

Jumbo Fisher isnt going to come in and be the team to beat in the SEC.You think schools like Bama,LSU,FLA,TN,GA are just going to lay down for FSU?
You act like they are bringing in a NFL team to rule the SEC.If Tn starts winning then the recruits will come period.Nobody is scared of fsu and they havent proved nothing since 2000.Jimbo Fisher isnt the college coach of the future.ACC isnt the SEC.

True and one thing else about FSU it's is very unlikely they are coming to the SEC. I went back and red a piece of the post that started this thread and it said the SEC doesnt want to break up the ACC so there you go pretty much no chance. MO on FSU I think they are going to be good and maybe at some point really good BUT returning them to the dominance that they use to be is very unlikely. It's a different game then it was in the 90's more talented teams then there was then. Them coming into the SEC and running things I think they would be very good but I don't think they would be dominant. To much talent for anybody to be that way year in and year out.

First off if you are afraid of a little competition then you don't need to be a sports fan at all. Sports is all about competing. Many fans seem to want the easy way out. They want their division to suck so they have an easier time making the playoffs or the championship game. I truly believe this is a losers attitude. Play your best, try your best, and may the best team win.

Second point is about all of this doom and gloom about expanding. I want to ask people this... what has happened to video stores now? Netflix and red box have single handedly put most out of business because they were "comfortable" with where they were for a long time and because "it wasn't broke so why fix it" and now their companies are no longer in business. Expansion is going to happen and you do not want to play catch-up. Take the teams that you want now, have some forward thinking, and be ahead of the curve instead of thinking you are too big to fail.

I know I'm the one who first posted that statement about being scared Florida St. Really I guess you could say out of all the teams that has been talked about becoming apart of the SEC let be honest FSU is more than likely the only one of them that could even hold a key to anybody in the SEC. Do I think FSU could be a top notch program in the SEC yes I do. Do I think they can be dominant like they use to be the answer is simply NO. Like I said earlier the game has changed and there is more talented teams then there was in the 90's and this is not the weak ACC of 90's. With being said should FSU be feared no probley not but should they be respected if they were to enter in to the SEC YES.

I don't "fear" having Fl St come into the SEC but it does make winning the east even tougher than before. Anyone who denys this is ignorant. Yes we play tough out of conference games but those do not impact our standing in the conference. Playing Fl.St most certainly would. The conference is tough enough IMO.

i think most everyone in this thread is correct.

1. if you're gonna be the man, you have to beat the man. the national champion has come out of the league the last 5 years. how can the league be any more difficult? it doesn't get more difficult than having to play the national champion.

2. however, if florida state and texas a&m were to enter the league, it would be two more school you'd have to contend with that would have access to better recruiting bases. anyone who doesn't believe that a division with florida and florida state would make life more difficult for tennessee (or anyone else in the sec east for that matter) is delusional.

3. you do have to go play the games and you can't predict the future. when the acc expanded, it was a foregone conclusion that miami and florida state would dominate the league. that belief was so strong that the acc championship game was put in the state of florida. it didn't happen though.

I hope that the SEC does not add 16 teams this would be stupid and just way to many teams. Texas AM is an ok add, but if FSU and Clemson join the conference this could be the end of TN. With two Florida teams this locks down Florida even more in recruiting. With Clemson and South Carolinas recent success that locks down South Carolina. Missouri coming to the SEC that would be totally crazy. Come on SEC!!!

I hope that 14 is the highest the SEC goes and I hope that it is a team like Virginia, West Virginia, Louville, or NC State these teams widen the TV market and don’t load the cards against TN to compete in the SEC. Chris Lowe on ESPN reported that the SEC does not want to bust up the ACC and will look at Big East Teams. I hope this is true

If 16 teams come the SEC rivalries like BAMA and TN would come to an end. The conference would be divided up into four team divisions for a grand total of four like: North East, South East and North West and South West.

Don’t kill college Football SEC sometimes things are better off left alone, stop thinking about the all mighty dollar and think about this proud and tradition filed conference that is not any other conference in the country.

OK explain to me why Flordia St comming to the SEC would lock down the state of Flordia recruiting even more. So if Flordia St comes to the SEC they are gonna recruit even better. Dont think so, plus you can only sign so many kids. The ship is not sinking.
