Who do you want to replace Ole Miss in the SEC poll?

[Dawg61]

self explanatory, just vote for the school you want most. Has nothing to do with if it's possible just curious who everyone wants in the SEC if they could choose one school to replace Ole Miss.


delete this sorry, the poll expired before I got finished with it apparently, here's the options if a mod can fix please thanks

1. Virginia Tech
2. NCSU
3. North Carolina
4. West Virginia
5. Oklahoma
6. Oklahoma State
7. Kansas State
8. Virginia
9. Clemson
10. Nobody and drop Missouri leaving it at 12

[Tbonewannabe]

NC State. UNC and Duke will never part for basketball reasons but I think NC State would love to get away from UNC similar to A&M and Texas. Could be added to the East and then move Mizzou to the West where they should be.

They are pretty good in baseball, football, and basketball so athletically they fit better than Mizzou. Also increases the SEC footprint.

[Bullsy]

Tulane

[drummerdawg]

Put Mizzou in the West to replace OM and then add NC State to the East.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Oklahoma, dad got his masters from there.

My first choice being NC State but my 2nd would be either Virginia Tech or one of the teams from Oklahoma.

These are stupid threads. Most of y'all want a cupcake OOC schedule so we can get to 8 wins, yet you want to replace OM with tougher SEC opponents SMH. I'm by no stretch of the imagination an OM fan, but these threads to kick teams out of the conference (OM, Missouri, Vandy, etc.) are just stupid.

[Quaoarsking]

UCF. Make that writer in Orlando happy.

I think NC State would be a good swap strength wise and add to the SEC footprint. I wouldn't be too pumped if we added Oklahoma since it would be like adding another Auburn or LSU to the conference. I would prefer Ok St over Oklahoma or Virginia Tech which both would probably make it tougher in the SEC.

[Liverpooldawg]

Oklahoma, dad got his masters from there.

I have heard a sitting SEC athletic director say that the SEC will most likely never take either of the OK teams, seperatly or together. They would not bring in enough new revenue to offset the adding of one or two more splits. The current schools would see a drop in their share. Now obviously that wouldn't apply if we kicked UM out and replaced them with one of them. It's nice to think about, but the SEC ain't kicking the Confederates out.

[RocketDawg]

Virginia. Academics would skyrocket if OM was dropped and UVa added, plus major sports are mediocre at best. Might say UNC, but given the tricks they pulled for the past many years and are about to be hammered for, I don't think so. They're about as likely to be kicked out of the ACC as OM is to be kicked out of the SEC though.

[sleepy dawg]

North Carolina.

I guess you missed "Has nothing to do with if it's possible".

#1 or #10, but ruelly don't give a #17. Anybody but #39'n Lyinshits and I'm gruet!!

I expect a thread like this to chap the ass of an Old Misses fan but I did not expect it to chap the ass of an MSU fan. Drink a coffee and eat a grilled cheese sandwich bud it'll be ok.

[fader2103]

I think NC State would be the best option, but I rather see Tulane or another LA team

[Ari Gold]

drop Mizzu no one gives a shit about the SEC in that state. Pick up Ga Tech have them in the east and , replace Umiss with TCU . Draw that Dallas / forth worth media area esp now with Dak blowing up ...

Actually, this whole website is stupid!!! A bunch of grown men and a few women pontificating on sports at a college.***

Dude, lighten up and read the original post. If you do want to play THEN DON'T PLAY but it's like you walking into a
Pool hall and saying "playing billiards is stupid" or
golf course and saying "hitting a white ball long distances into a little hole is stupid"
Hunting grounds and saying "shooting defenseless animal is stupid".

No, it just makes you look "stupid".

Having gotten that off my chest my addition would be Notre Dame. (I know their not on the list but getting a chance to kick their arse every year would excite me.) On the list I would choose Clemson.

[Turfdawg67]

I was gonna type this exact thing. I don't want Oklahoma... the West is brutal enough!

Could Notre Dame be in two conferences ... SEC for football and ACC for basketball? That would be unprecedented I would think, but I suppose if any school could get away with it it would be them. I wouldn't mind having them but all the way or nothing.

[parabrave]

FIU. So w can get a recruiting presence in Miami. Hey would you rather go to Miami or Raleigh every other year?

They are still independent in football just have to play 5 ACC teams a year I think.

[Mutt the Hoople]

SMU. Rich kids, but with real money. Easy win. Gives the SEC a presence in North Texas.

[1bigdawg]

Texas - National footprint, but no way they come
NC State - Biggest major in NC with the biggest in state fan base.
Oklahoma - Not happy about adding this much strength, but they are a legit choice
Not UNC - Can't get rid of UNM for misbehaving and then take them.

Dump Missouri and pick up ncstate and va tech

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Sewanee..... The Original University of the South.

[Dawgpile]

I believe it's going to be Oklahoma. They're primed and ready to go. The SEC is going to withhold UMiss' conference payouts to cover the GOR issues.

[ShotgunDawg]

Uh, haven't we already seen what happens when that "real money" is in a "real conference"?

[Todd4State]

Interesting idea. Notre Dame would never go for it. At least not until they lose their TV deal.

[Todd4State]

I would go ahead and expand to 16 teams. I personally wouldn't drop Ole Miss, but if I did I would add Tulane because of their academic status. Here's what I would do:

Bear Bryant Division (Old SEC West)

SEC South
1. MSU
2. Ole Miss
3. Alabama
4. Auburn

SEC West

1. LSU
2. Arkansas
3. Texas A&M
4. Mizzou

Bob Neyland Division (Old SEC East)

SEC North

1. Tennessee
2. Vanderbilt
3. Kentucky
4. Virginia Tech

SEC East

1. Florida
2. Georgia
3. South Carolina
4. NC State


So, in football you play each team in your division, two teams in the opposite division- (SEC W/SEC N) and then (SEC E/SEC S), and then one team in each of the other divisions every year. The eighth game is a random game with the exception for tradition- Bama/UT and Auburn/Georgia play each other every season and those four teams do not get to play a random team.

The teams with the best records in the Bryant and Neyland divisions go to the championship game. Tie breakers based on head to head first, district record (SEC S/SEC W/SEC E/SEC N) second, division record third, overall record next, and finally BCS ranking.

Why not by school:

(1) Oklahoma - they are too far away, shitty for travel, and get you a poor state with a population about the size of Mississippi
(2) NC State - they are not excellent in any sport, not horrible but not excellent...and, they have ZERO fans...have you met a NCSU fan?
(3) SMU - no fans and they can't recruit in texas for themselves, plus not good in any sport and don't play baseball...this is the Boss' school in Texas, not the People's school
(4) Oklahoma State - Stillwater sucks to drive to...when you live in Oklahoma and there is no nearby airport. Plus, MAJOR recruiting cheaters
(5) Clemson - they won the Football NC in the ACC, they are not going to rock the boat when they are in Nirvana as-is
(6) Duke - their fans think we are dirty, dangerous, uneducated, non-international travelling....basically Hillary's "Deplorables"
(7) North Carolina - Wont leave Duke and can't play football anyway
(8) Baylor - Rape
(9) Virginia Tech - Costy travel for non-revenue sports and no-traditional match-ups with SEC, like Mizzou 2.0
(10) Texas - They love lording over the Big 12 and a Veto for Texas A&M
(11) Tulane - No fanbase, no infastructure, and a horrible city location...probably an LSU veto
(12) Florida State - Great, who wants FSU in their division every year? And why would they move when they can make money and win Championships from ACC?

Now TCU, can't think of a "why not"...but, let's toss OM and just just stay at 13

I run across a lot of die hard NC State fans.

NCSU is basically the Southern Miss of North Carolina...rich kids go to Davidson, really smart kids go to Wake Forest, smart kids go to Duke, and party kids go to UNC.

NCSU is like USM in Mississippi, Memphis State in Tennessee, Louisiana Tech in Louisiana, Texas Tech in Texas, UCF in Florida, UAB in Alabama

They're both really good schools, but I think I might reverse your order.

West
MSU
LSU
Bama
Arkansas
aTm
Missouri
Oklahoma
East
Florida
Kentucky
Tennessee
Georgia
Vandy
South Carolina
Auburn

Bama goes East. An acceptable balance swap, and Bama moves in with Tenn. Auburn becomes their crossover. Solves a major scheduling issue.
