Pac Super Conference

At large fouls up the symmetry.

Four conferences. Four #1 seeds.

Sugar and Orange host first two games

Fiesta gets winners

Rose gets losers

Swap and repeat.

Really, though, they'll probably end up with an eight team event. The four champions and then four teams selected through some convoluted formula. Guarantee that formula would not include Boise, Baylor or WVU, the three teams most likely to be left standing on the sidewalk like an unwanted cat when this is done.

So you could theoretically have Michigan play Ohio State in November. Play them again in the Big 10 title game a week later and then again in the Elite Eight National Championship Series in December.

Things are about to be seriously different than we've ever seen. K's writeup above is pretty spot on to how I see it being. It will look more like the NFL.

4 at large. Let's assume the top 4 is represented as follows:
1. SEC team
2. Pac X team
3. ACC team
4. Big X team

Sugar
SEC vs At large #4

Fiesta
Pac X vs. At large #3

Orange
ACC vs. At large #2

Rose
Big X vs. At large #1

I think you could work out a rotation where two of the bowls get an extra playoff game, one gets the championship, and one gets left out. The one that gets left out gets the championship game the next year. So let's say the Sugar Bowl is the NC game this year (2011). If this was implemented today, in 2012 the Sugar Bowl would only get the "Elite 8" game. No other bowl. In 2013 & 2014 it would get a "Final Four" game, and then in 2015, it would get to have the NC again.

Mizzou to SEC?

WJOX reporting offer made.

This one makes zero sense to me.

Agree totally.

Mizzou? Fuck that. Talk about a mediocre fucking add. Market, Tradition, Money? Nope. And before anyone says St. Louis....not the same market.

There it goes.

That southern tradition? That southern pride? That southern-ness of the SEC?

Gone. Bring on the St. Louis style ribs.

Mizzou is about as attractive to me as Virgin Tech or West Virgin. I know it's about market but if expansion is inevitable....like rape....I want teams that make sense geographically and tradition-wise. Clemson, GT, FSU or Middle Tennessee State...wait, what?

I'll agree that St Louis is a college football town, about as much as Atlanta is a baseball town. Same thing with KC, but there, it's all Chiefs.

But honestly, was USC any good before the SEC took them? I think they've improved about a billion percent since they joined.

I'd just be stoked that every other year, Auburn is playing 2 hours from me.

Columbia is closer to Auburn than College Station is.

The new SMEC? (South Midwesteastern Conference)

Mizzou to the SEC makes no sense.

AUChizad · « **Reply #30 on:** September 20, 2011, 02:35:13 PM »

Did not realize that Columbia is actually about 130 miles Northwest of St. Louis.

Also, looks like we're headed East, boys.

Unless they swipe two ACC teams...

It's due west on I-70. About an hour and half from the STL airport.

And that is what will probably happen.

He may mean location too. As in southern most. College Station is in the eastern half of Texas near Miss, Arky and La. Something North of St. Louis just doesn't have a SEC feel to it.

I was on a project in KC and Columbia for 2+ years. I made the drive every Monday morning, trust me, it's 90 min from the STL airport, west on 70.

You ever been to Lexington?

St. Louis doesn't have an "SEC" feel to it.

Besides dominating a geographical perspective, we don't gain anything from Missouri.

Except basketball. But they're about to get hammered by the NCAA.

Oh. Wait. Never mind. Missouri fits right in.

Lexington at least knows that tea = sugar + tea.
