The SEC can get any team they want. If (and I'm not convinced) they expand, it will be by taking GT, Clemson, or maybe making a run at Texas and Texas A&M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, the least revenue sharing of all teams in the conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, we will end up with 4 super conferences, and the others. I just hope that we are in one of those conferences.SEC commissioner Mike Slive intimated for the first time that a war of titans might be on: "If there is going to be a significant shift in the conference paradigm, the SEC will be strategic and thoughtful to make sure it maintains its position as one of the nation's pre-eminent conferences." That's another way of saying that if the Big Ten expands, the SEC is ready to throw down. The conferences are No. 1 (Big Ten) and No. 2 (SEC) in revenue produced and they didn't get that way by being timid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who will be the new whipping boy BCS conference for the ESPN folks? My guess is the ACC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope its USF and WVU that are chosen...I would like to keep a yearly matchup with the couch burners...it is always a good game, has a lot of potential to become a UF/Tenn type game.
