Realistically, I don't either. However, since I have the SEC reacting to what other conferences will do, becoming the biggest of the superconferences might help them negotiate the biggest TV contract and would almost certainly lead to the creation of an SEC network.

There have been talks of 4 super conferences, so here are my thoughts.

PAC-16 E
Arizona, ASU, Colorado, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A & M, Texas Tech.
PAC-16 W
Cal, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Washington, Washington State.

BIG 16 E
Cincy, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, Pitt, Purdue.
BIG 16 W
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Northwestern, Wisconsin

SEC E
Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, South Carolina, Tennessee
SEC W
Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Kansas, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Vandy

ACC SOUTH
Duke, East Carolina, Florida State, Georgia Tech, NC State, North Carolina, South Florida, Wake Forest
ACC NORTH
Boston College, UConn, Maryland, Rutgers, Syracuse, Virginia, Virginia Tech, West Virginia

With Baylor, Boise State, & Kansas State going to the Mountain West.

That would be a terrible scenerio for the SEC.

Theres been a rumor that ND has stated that if they join the Big Ten, they want to be the only team added. In that situation, that would likely be the end of it.

The rumor that worries me the most is the one where the PAC 10 has been courting Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma.

Give me GT/Clemson/FSU and maybe Va Tech. The first 3 have natural rival in the SEC already. I really dont care for Va Tech joining, but undoubtly the SEC would extend an invite to them or Miami and I REALLY dont want all 3 Florida schools in the SEC.

I want the SEC to stay exactly the way it is! I dont like the idea of super conferences at all (16 teams, two 8 team divisions). The SEC is perfect right now, and if it aint broke dont fix it! I agree with the big ten adding 1 team, so they can have 2 divisions and have a championship game, and the PAC ten adding 2. Whatever maybe im just a traditionalist.

If the other super conferences are built with powerhouses and the SEC 16 is built with second tier programs, the SEC will then have little chance at a NC similar to the way Boise State and TCU had virtually no shot at a NC last season.

Sorry not trying to attack you personally, but this is the silliest thing I have read on here in a LONG time.:lolabove:

I don't get why anyone would want Texas, Oklahoma, VT, FSU, etc. in the SEC if you're a UT fan. We're already struggling as it is with UF, Bama, LSU, UGA, and Auburn. I don't want to add anymore powerhouses.
I personally don't understand why UF and Bama would want this either. I understand the money deal, but it's going to get real old when we just don't have a chance every year.

We already have to recruit like a monster if we want to succeed now. It doesn't matter what conference great teams are in, they still have to recruit well against programs across the country regardless of conference.

Here's my mock conference outlook based partially on info that's floating around and partially what might happen as a result...

Pac 16 W
WSU, UW, Ore, OrSt, Stan, Cal, Ucla, USC
Pac 16 E
Ariz, ArizSt, OkSt, Okla, Tex, TTU, Bay, TAM

Super 16
Neb, Minn, Iowa, IowaSt, Kan, KSU, Illin, Wisc, Mizz, Mich, MichSt, Ind, OhioSt, PennSt, NW, Pur

ACC
BC, Miami, UNC, Duke, NCSt, WF, Mary, UVA

SEC W
Ala, Miss, Aub, LSU, MissSt, Ark, Louisville, FSU, Van

SEC E
UT, UF, UGA, SoCar, UK, VT, GT, Clem, WVU

Colorado would join the Mountain West (along with Boise State)

I, like most SEC fans, would love it if the Big 12 South joined the SEC, but this mock is based on the most prevalent info (misinfo) out there right now. The Big 10 would become the Super 16 and I would have no clue how to configure their divisions because an east-west setup would likely put Mich, OhioSt, and PennSt in one division. Basically the ACC would go back to being a Basketball conference. I KNOW IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN LIKE THIS. It's just my opinion, that said, fire away.

I'm probably one of the few that will say this, but I will LOVE Clemson to join the SEC. Reason? I live here. I would LOVE to go see Clemson play UT, UF every year (yes I would wear UT orange when yall came to town).

The word out here in the land of toto is that KU, K State, and Iowa State all get the shaft. Super 16 does not pick them up, Pac 10 doesn't want them, and no way in hell is the SEC picking them up. The SEC post up there that included KU is a pure pipe dream.

Basically KU doesn't pull a large enough audience to garner any want from any conferences. Why would they add a program that will dominate basketball, be terrible in football, and bring no TV revenue? K state has an even smaller TV audience. The reason behind the fact KU and KSU have no market is the fact that even though KC is a large metro area, a lot of people there are Mizzou fans due to the majority of the city being located in Missouri.

if the SEC had to add two teams......

i say north carolina and duke. (basketball and academics improve drastically). football would still be a very good league.

if they had to add four.

i'd say north carolina, duke, virginia and florida state.

(academics improve, except FSU). basketball improves drastically and football adds a power.

i think we could be getting ahead of our selves..Neb could just join the Big 10 then the Big 12 could just have to add a team..thats it...but all hell could break lose..

If the SEC went to 16 teams I'd like to see the SECw add Texas and Oklahoma and the SECe add Florida State and Miami.

If we did this it would ensure that the SEC would continue to dominate for years to come!

why?

1. you add two states to the SEC (NC and VA).

2. you make the SEC a great basketball league to go with being a great football league. SEC basketball ticket sales would jump dramatically if you added north carolina and duke.

3. florida state adds another football power.

4. you pull north carolina and duke from the ACC and you destroy the ACC. destroying the ACC would kill the one competitor the SEC has in the south. the SEC would be superior to the ACC in football and basketball.

5. the fact that the teams i am mentioning adding are poor at football (except FSU) would not keep the SEC from being regarded as a superior football league.

If the SEC does expand it will have to be teams for the east coast or Florida. In order to get Texas, we would have to take A&M, Baylor and TTU. That's not going to happen.

NO WAY SEC wants Louisville. I see SEC getting GT, FSU, Miami and Clemson. Personally, I don't like this whole re-alignment of teams and conferences. I like it the way it is, but maybe that is because I don't like change. As Domino said, "Money makes the world go 'round!"

I don't think Clemson, Ga Tech or Louisville would help the SEC financially.

Neither would WVU, the SEC would essentially take a backseat with what the OP has mapped out.

I cannot believe that Texas is considering going to the Pac-10, along with the rest of the Big 12, is it me or does this all seem dirty?

I like the way things are now, I wanted ND to join the Big 10 so they can have a conference championship...conferences expanding to 16 teams just seems absurd.

It really isn't that silly of a thought, the SEC would still have some muscle but if the Pac-10 gets who they are saying that they may get, we are looking up at them for sure...may be behind the Big 10 as well.

I kind of like Clay Travis' 4 team - 4 division idea. I don't know who would be added but take for example FSU, Miami, Clemson and GT.

Then you would end up with something like

West
Ark
LSU
MSU
UM

Central
Bama
AU
FSU
Vandy

North
UT
UK
USC
Clemson

South
UGA
GT
UF
Miami

Or something like it.
with a 2 round SEC title game.
