I haven't seen where this has happened? If it does, I could think of far worse teams. And looking at the bigger picture, as far as conferences that have gotten stronger through realignment, if we end up with A&M or Missouri/WVU, we're still doing better than everyone else. What other conference has added two schools like that? We would have gotten the two best additions hands down. I'm not advocating WVU here. I'm just being realistic.

PAC 10 added Utah and Colorado and went to 12, Big 10 added Nebraska, and now the ACC is adding Syracuse and Pitt. Our additions are far greater than those. Not to mention, WVU and A&M with SEC backing and membership can become stronger and dip into areas that aren't SEC territory and make it such.
