I admit it. I don’t like having Missouri in the SEC

UNC and Duke have to be in the same conference. So does Miami and FSU. Georgia tech is the mizzo of the ACC. The Virginia schools could work though.

Miami is a private school and no one would care about their fate in any way shape or form.

Most all of the situations where two schools are linked to one another are due to the fact that they are public state schools and state legislatures would get involved.

I wasn't a fan of the additions when it happened, but I'm fine with it now. I see people periodically saying we should add a team like Clemson or Florida State or Texas and I just don't want any more programs in the SEC that could potentially make the path for Tennessee harder. Look at Clemson, they have a cakewalk to the ACC title game each year and are constantly competing for titles because of it.

So I'm fine having some Mizzou's and Vandy's in the East. It's hard enough beating Georgia and Florida, don't need other obstacles.

With the expansions, what the league has is THE state schools of the entire south except North Carolina, Virginia, and Texas.

And since Texas is the state that it is, Texas A&M is one very large little brother

I used to love the Big 12. It was one of the strongest conferences in the 1990s

Really wish Nebraska and Mizzou went back. Bring Maryland into the SEC

Only tweak I have is put Maryland back in ACC and bring VA Tech to SEC.

It’s probably a get off my lawn moment, but I liked the league better at 12 teams. Who’s with me?

Two big changes that I dislike about college football compared to when I started watching in the early 1950's:

Offensive linemen being able to extend their arms and use their hands (AKA legalized holding).

Realignment of the conferences.

Nothing against Missouri but the Big 12 was a great conference and they fit there.

Don't care.

But, they belong in the West and Auburn belongs in the East.

Ugh. I hate agreeing with gators... But this 100%

AU should be in the east. And if MizzWHO? was in the west I'd be ok with them being SEC. But as long as they're part of the SECeast, nah

It's been brought up a million times here.

It would screw up the Alabama-Tennessee rivalry because Auburn-Alabama would be the new cross division rivalry.

But, except for that one issue, it would be perfect. It would bring balance to the divisions and Tennessee-Auburn and Florida-Auburn used to be rivalries too. Plus, it makes geographic sense.

They don't belong. I really don't care. Way above my pay grade. I will say I don't get excited about this game in any way shape or form. I want to win the game but that it is. Basically feels like a whatever non conference game.

Pretty sure Mizzou has more wins in the series than we do. Tennessee makes it harder on Tennessee.

I think them winning the first 3 when they joined really chapped my a** and made me hate them even more (than them not deserving to be in the SEC)

such a bad stadium. Every time I see a game there it looks like a high school field. And what's with the rocks at one end zone? If they are going to be in the conference can't someone make them use that TV cash to build a proper stadium?
