In 1992, the SEC went to 12 teams and a championship game and getting the additional national TV. It helped recruiting, added money and helped make them the SEC deepest and most dominant conference in history. 6 years later the BCS allowed the SEC to play in bowl games against the overrate MIdwest teams. History:
4 teams with NC titles since the BSC started in 1998. (6 titles in 12 years. Maybe 7 if Auburn gets the one USC and the media Stole them the opportunity to win.)
What I would consider for SEC Changes:
1st.) Get Texas A&M and consider TCU. At all Cost. Take Baylor is
necessary.
You get a huge penetration in the Texas Markets with these teams.
DFW is the 5th biggest TV market and Houston is 10th. A&M also gets big

DFW is the 5th biggest TV market and Houston is 10th. A&M also gets big
hits in San Antonio which would be the 3rd biggest market in the SEC.
Only FL, GA and Nashville have as many TV market numbers.
People will forget about Texas playing anyone out west, except maybe USC if
some of these teams show up for a Saturday game with A&M and TCU being
respectable.
(Example - Fla, LSU, ALA, Ga, Tenn, Auburn and yes, Arkansas, they have a
huge fan base in DFW )
The biggest impact will be on Texas and Oklahoma.
The SEC contract with CBS and ESPN for 3 billion dollars is about to start.
If the SEC gets into Texas, the recruiting wars will get horrifying for the
Horn and Sooners.
If a players want national exposure in a normal time zone, they will sign
with an SEC Team.
2nd ) The Biggest southern market untouched is north of Atlanta.
Va Tech gets the SEC into the DC. They fit on stadium and style of play.
3rd) The SEC already owns Florida, but adding Fla State and Miami keeps
everyone else out of the markets. I would prefer a North Carolina and
Virginia addition. Miami TV market is small for it population base but still top 20.
I do not want Miami in the SEC, but it is a top 20 market.
Florida State just fits as a fanatic fan base and stadium. Too Bad Bowden is gone.
Clemson falls into this category also, but offers nothing but quality sports.
I will miss the traditional games.
