I love the idea of adding the Aggies, but I'm nervous about OU. Not that I have a problem with OU, but I don't want them to bring in their tag alongs. If it can't be just OU, I think we should pass and try and add VT or Clemson.

Holy shite Balls.

A one loss team should get an automatic bid to the NC Game Jesus.

and that's the West... the East would be just as tough, if not tougher.

the East would have:

Florida
Auburn
Alabama
Tennessee
Georgia
South Carolina
Kentucky
Vandebilt

Why? LSU and OU would run that division. Its really not that impressive.

The thing I hate about this though is that a 3 loss team in one of those divisions should be a BCS bowl game berth, but they will still have automatic qualifiers for the Big Least and someone like Boise State or Utah will always be up in there as well. With those divisions, the SEC should be getting 3 BCS berths out of it

I would find it hard to see any team go undefeated or 1 loss in divisions like that

The East is definitely tougher in that scenario.

That division is much easier than the current SEC West

I would be all for elimination of the "2 conference teams in the BCS" limit and give the MWC an autobid. I can't imagine a team from Sunbelt, CUSA MAC or WAC (if it still exists) would be getting multiple bids like we've seen from TCU, Utah & Boise St.

So much for actually being able to make a conference division road trip.

From Baton Rouge:
Oklahoma - 10 hours
Oklahoma State - 11 hours
Missouri - 12 hours

and I thought the trip to Little Rock was far. Especially tough for those of us in SEC country that live around Atlanta.

OSU, OU and especially Mizzou would not fit well in the SEC

I can see a smooth transition with TAMU, especially geographically

TAMU would no doubt get destroyed in football for a while, but they are solid in basketball and baseball
