Honestly, the SEC really hasn’t felt the same since 2012 with the A&M and Mizzou additions

Purely from a fan’s perspective. I get the logical reasoning of adding more teams but I really pulled for the conference and appreciated it more pre 2012.

I didn’t like the Texas and Oklahoma additions either. I get the money and television revenue from adding these universities but something about the conference just felt more authentic and organic before the expansion.

LSU vs OSU every year sounds good to me. That would draw some viewers.

Been saying this for awhile. Conference hasn’t felt the same since then. It felt more southern in the SEC prior to 2012. It was the souths Confrence. SEC felt like a southern club then now it’s just a league. That’s when SEC pride died.

We didn't need Arkansas and South Carolina, either. This conference was better when it was 10 teams and Roy Kramer was running things.

SEC hasn't felt the same since allowing ARkansas admission much less South Carolina, OU, Missouri, utex, and 8&4

Agreed. When we didn’t play Miss State last year, Florida this year or Bama next year, I’ve already seen what this SEC has to offer.

Let Texas have it. We can find better a better way.

Maybe didn’t need them but they were solid additions and done in the early 90’s. Kind of got used to them.

Adding UT and OU was a horrible decision. Too hard to get through the conference with a good enough record to make the playoffs, when strength of schedule means less than the record. So what does Sankey do? Add a 9th conference game. Dumb.
