Unless the ACC GOR goes away, who is there to add? The SEC doesn't need content...they've got plenty of that. The SEC doesn't really need Oklahoma....

East Carolina gets them in the door in North Carolina, and Cincinnati gets them in Ohio

The SEC scored mightily in the last go round with Texas A&M and Mizzou...excellent expansion candidates

Need Oklahoma? Not really. Want Oklahoma? Absolutely. They deliver a school with a an academic rating above that of our mean, a new state, a large city from another important state (DFW), a national brand, and oodles of content. Of the remaining schools that the SEC would accept without question they would be right in there with North Carolina and Virginia Tech.

But as to needing them it should be remembered that if they are with us, they can't be used by another conference against us. Adding them only increases our stranglehold on content.

Who for #16 is more of the debatable question.

Here is my Ideal scenario of adding to the SEC:

add oklahoma and kansas. Move Mizzou to the west while bama and Auburn go East.

Go to 9 game conference schedule. 7 in division, 2 opposite (play every team once every 4 years. Quicker than what we have now).

By moving bama and auburn to the east, you get to keep some of your precious rivalries yearly, while also restarting some in the west. Pretty solid if you ask me.

West:
Mizzou
Kansas
A&M
Arkansas
LSU
Oklahoma
Ole Miss
MS State

East:
Bama
Auburn
South Carolina
Vandy
Florida
Georgia
Tenn
Kentucky

Yep, we've kicked that one around already and it would work. OU / KU, OU / OSU, OU / 2nd Texas school all work the same way. It creates essentially a Western group of rivals and an Eastern group of rivals and ends the need for permanent crossovers and makes travel easier for everyone. But it is where we need to be headed indeed.
