Is this a downgrade for the SEC. I personally dont relish the idea of traveling to Morgantown or Columbia.
All time wins:
1. Michigan
2. Texas
3. Notre Dame
4. Nebraska
5. Ohio State
6. Alabama
7. Penn State
8. Oklahoma
9. USC
10. Tennessee
11. Georgia
12. LSU
13. Auburn
14. West Virginia
15. Syracuse
16. Georgia Tech
17. Virginia Tech
18. Texas A&M
19. Pittsburgh
20. Arkansas
21. Stanford
22. Colorado
23. Washington
24. Florida
25. Miami (OH)
We'd be adding the #14 and #18 programs all time, and 9 of our 14 would be in the all-time top 25.
Don't really like Missouri or WV. They are good programs but not like FSU, Sooners, or OK state in my eyes (not so much OK state but close)

This has nothing to do with venues or the respective locations. It has everything to do with TV markets. This moves the SEC into the St. Louis and K.C. markets in the west, and the Pittsburgh and D.C. markets in the east. That's a huge number of potential viewers for the conference and the all-important ESPN contract.

You guys are looking at it from a Fans perspective and the prestige of their Football programs.
The SEC is looking for new markets and more money. Yea the bigger names bring the same things but Florida will not allow another school in state, OU will follow Texas and Ok St is joined at the hip to OU.
