I'd like to go back to East/West divisions and add Clemson, FSU, NC St, and VT. Then I'd move Mizzou and Vandy to the West.

Don't boot Anyone

Make quality additions, not shite programs who are bordering on community colleges with their academics.

Your point makes no sense

Had FSU beat LSU, Ole Miss/Mizzou, Bama and played on national tv 10/12 weeks, they’re in despite the injury to Travis.


This makes no damn sense.

Why play harder schedules like Alabama when you can play Michigan's schedule and coast to the playoffs??

The Big12 and ACC can do just that so why leave? Easy money train but some are too stupid to see it.

You think they can do that, but only the champs are getting in the CFP from those conferences… that’s a heck of a crapshoot every year

G5 will get their bid, XII and ACC will get one each and the rest of the 9 teams will be SEC and ACC

While I believe the greatness of college football from 15-25 years ago has been destroyed, this seems like a decent idea if we keep down the current path.

Why take NC st and VT when you can have UNC/UVA? Both are the bigger share in their respective states. VT doesn't hold a candle to UVA in terms of state support, historical perspective or well rounded sports programs. And it's in the middle of nowhere. UNC is just obvious.
Academic superiority is the biggest issue for the SEC with those 2. The Big 10 is more appealing for academics.

The SEC was dead when they let Texas and OK in anyway.

What?? We literally beat LSU by 21 points on national TV and were nationally televised in the vast majority of our games. Beat Clemson on the road which is a bigger media draw than playing Ole Miss/Mizzou. FSU was ranked in the top 10 this season in ratings. Everyone knows that the only reason we were left out is because there was no way espn was leaving out the SEC from the playoff, especially Alabama.

12 was the ideal conference number.

Apparently, tv networks demand two conferences for some asinine reason.

If both conferences go to 20,

The SEC should take Florida St, Clemson, and North Carolina. The 4th team could legitimately be any one of the following: Duke, NC St, Miami, Louisville, Georgia Tech.

The Big 10 should add Notre Dame and Virginia Tech.

We have already seen the country is full of stupid people who would gladly pick a team who played a very weak schedule over two who played much harder ones with only one loss.
Ummm.....Florida State would like a word with you.

Bring in Florida state and then also Kansas, North Carolina and Duke to corner the basketball market as well.

I would rather see contraction than expansion.

Even as a Poke, I see no reason why the SEC would want OK State.

NC St and VT are bigger brands in football.
