Just a question to all Vol fans. Would you be fine with the Vols playing in a conference other than the SEC considering our chances to make the championship would be increased. Or would you rather the Vols play in the best conference in the land and do well year in and year out.

SEC without a doubt. The thought of our biggest matchup of the season being Louisville makes my stomach hurt.

If you win the SEC there is no question that you belong because you have made it through the best conference in football. You dont have illusions that you are the best and then get exposed on Natl. TV....cough....tOSU.

No not now, not ever. Unless the SEC, in some bizzaro world fashion, would lose other power teams or become mediocre...I want the VOLS right in the thick of the best.

Being in the SEC means taking some lumps and losing out on NC games occasionally, see Auburn's undefeated team, but look at last years LSU squad and as much as I hate to say it Fla the year before. I can easily see an Auburn scenario again this year with USC and Oklahoma, to name 2, possible undefeated teams, plus throw in Ohio State from the little 10, and the chance of a 1 or 2 loss SEC team getting in is slim. BUT...if it is a 2 team loss it will be from the SEC for sure! Any team coming out of the SEC this season with 1 loss should be given an "Advance to BCS NC Game" card. GO VOLS

Not saying I would support it but an interesting scenario to me would be as follows:

1. Maryland, Duke, NC State, East Carolina and UCF leave their respective conferences to join the Big East, while W.Va. leaves. The Big East is now a 12 team conference that can split into divisions and play a championship game.

2. Florida moves into NC State's ACC slot. W.Va takes Duke's slot and UTK takes Maryland's slot. GaTech and Clemson switch divisions. The Hillbilly Nation is now united in the ACC Coastal (Renamed ACC Appalachian) with V.Tech, UVA, W.Va, UTK and Clemson in the same division along with Miami. This would be the strongest division in NCAA football IMO, much tougher than the current SEC East.

3. Auburn and Bama move into the SEC East taking over slots vacated by Florida and UTK. Southern Miss and Memphis take over the spots vacated by Bama and Aubie in the SEC West.

I just had to ask that question because I work in Va with alot of Hokie graduates and they always tell me how they are better than us because they have a better final ranking at the end of the season. Every year I lose $20 to a guy here because very year we play harder teams. Pride won't let me call off the bet. All I hear is how bad they want to play my Vols. I can't wait for the day. I'm so tired of their mouths!

One thing I do like about the ACC, although it may bolster your co-worker's argument, is that when the NCAA mandated the 12 regular season game the ACC said it would be an additional conference game.

Actually, this question isn't that much worse than those that ask if we should move the Florida game from so early in the year because we always seem to lose the game.

Maybe if we had better coaching, we would win that game more often. I see Florida has no problem getting their team ready that early in the season.

Anybody that criticizes this question for insinuating that we should cut and run from the SEC should never mention wanting to move the Florida game from early September.

Here's a question you can ask them. Since the BCS was instituted in '98 what conference has won the most National Championships....... :whistling:

How much acid did you have to consume to come up with this scenario? Maryland, Duke, and NC State will leave the ACC on the day Beelzebub opens an ice skating rink.

Memphis should join the SEC, and Vandy should move to Conf. USA. Vandy doesn't have an Athletic Department, and rarely makes money for the conference. Memphis would make SEC a more dominant Basketball conference, and would not be a powerhouse compaired to Vandy but its a step up. I think everything is fine with college football though, maybe add Notre Dame to the Big 10, and make every BCS Conf. Host a Championship game......Sorry in advance if you don't agree to this.
