SEC welcomes our NEWEST MEMBER, TX A&M AGGIES. Also reported that the SEC’s vote was “either 12-0 or 11-0 with Vanderbilt abstaining.” The site also claims that Mike Slive now has “authorization” to talk to Missouri and West Virginia about joining the SEC as School #14.
They'll go after teams in untapped markets. One of the reasons A&M is so appealing. VT,WV, UNC, Missouri, those would be my guesses. May not be who they end up with but that's who i think they'll try and get.Has much as I hate the idea of a 16 team super conference; I completely understand the reason. Do you have any idea who the other teams may be besides A&M?
The deal with this whole super conference discussion could actually bring forth a somewhat forced playoff system, but it would require five or so super conferences in total (ACC, Big East, Big Ten, PAC-x, SEC).
Wouldn't you want 4 conferences? Or 6 at most, with the two higher seeded champions getting a bye in the "playoffs?"
Well, for me, whatever it takes to get a sensible playoff system. The subjectivity of college ball no longer matches the diversity of good teams.
Of the five I listed, who would you drop or who would you add?

"But whos to say the SEC might not invite both and then stop at 15 schools? Three divisions of five teams each. The two best teams in the BCS rankings meet in Atlanta for the league title. Its possible. If SEC accountants crunch the numbers and find that the leagues school would make more cash with 15 schools than with 16, you better believe Slives group would consider it."
