Schedules, expansion & predictions
As for an expanded SEC, Texas and Texas A&M would be nice additions because of the television markets. Texas is remarkable since it expressed interest in the SEC prior to when Arkansas joined the conference. If the SEC added these two teams, it would need to add two more teams to get to 16—Georgia Tech and FSU would provide geographic balance for divisions. Of course, the wildcard in all of this talk would be Oklahoma—would the Sooners be available if the Big XII gets raided? If so, where would they land? If they were available then the best expansion plan would be to shift Alabama and Auburn to the SEC East and add four teams from the Big XII region to the SEC West. But that all depends on a breakup of the Big XII.
