re: When the SEC goes to 14 or 16

other than with Florida, i don't feel a connection to the other East teams as it is with 12 teams.
there's sorta something there with Georgia, from 2003, 2005.
after that, there's that whole Kentucky miracle, game, the USCe Flynn Flip, umm, that's about it.
i don't think much will change IMO, with 14 or 16. we'll all still keep up with whatever is going on in the other division about like what we do now. there will be great games going on over there, we'll all recruit the same base players, etc.

They are just "there" as far as I'm concerned; I kind of feel the same way about MSU, and to some extent with USC (but that's been getting better). I love it whenever LSU plays UT, UGA, UF, UK, UM, UA, AU and Arky. I guess I'll feel pretty good about playing aTm when they get on the schedule. Not sure about Mizzou if they wind up here. Those connections we all either feel or don't feel for our SEC compatriots are just so subjective.

But that's something, and we've only gone through two rotations of the 5-year cycle. If we kept that up for another couple of rotations, it would grow.

As it stands right now, no player (or student/fan) can go through four years at an SEC school without his team playing every other SEC team at least once. If he redshirts (or matriculates slowly) and has a 5-year career, his team will face every team twice, once at home and once on the road. That kind of frequent matchup creates at least some rivalry and comradery. We certainly identify with Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia, etc. more now than we do with, say, Virginia Tech. Moving to a 12-year rotation will kill that. If we end up playing Virginia Tech in a bowl or NC game within the next three seasons (counting this one), we will have played them more times in a 12-year time frame than we will Georgia, Tennessee, etc. in a 6-1-1 SEC scheduling format.
