Like UVA/VT, I could see them adding NCSU if UNC goes North (UNC fans want SEC, their admin wants Big Ten)
I don’t see the SEC going West. They made a big deal about keeping the geography tight and publicly criticized the Big Ten expansion to LA.
I don’t see them expanding past 20, because the next set of candidates will water down the brand.
FSU, Clemson, UNC, UVA, VT, Duke, Kansas, WVU
(though I admit having UK, KU, UNC, Duke is the same conference would be appealing)
When thinking about SEC expansion now, you have to think about the future schedule.
The current SEC division model were shit so blowing them up didn’t upset anyone all too much. This new model of playing more teams regularly will be far superior, so any additions will upset the new balance and have a real negative impact.
