Take a look at this article. I’ll pull out some excerpts for your amusement.

If the Aggies go to the SEC, they would most likely be put into the SEC West Division, with Alabama and Auburn being moved to the SEC East. The SEC West would be balanced out by some other team also added to keep the numbers even, possibly Virginia Tech or Clemson, or some other team from the ACC.

Something about that doesn’t quite sound right… Alabama fan #1 helps us out:

Why do you say this? If A&M joins and a school from the east (VT, Clemson, etc) joins, then the logical thing to do would be to put A&M in the west and add the other new school to the east. What you said doesn’t even make sense mathematically.

6-2+2 =/= 6+2

I think moving Alabama and Auburn to the east is predicated on A&M coming over with Texas, OU, and 2 other Big 12 schools. If you move two schools from the west to the east, you need 4 schools for the west to be even.

Best case scenario for the SEC is to add 1 team to both the east and west divisions. That maintains balance and all the current inter-division rivalries. No need to realign things. Also, 14 works better than 16. It leaves more room for OOC, lets you play more of your conference percentage wise each year, and divides the revenue fewer ways.

To which Aggie fan replies:

how does this not make sense?

A&M and team to be named later are added to West

Auburn and Alabama move to the East

6 teams, in each division

The goal here is to create two 6-team division, not 8. Not sure where you came up with that.

Ummmm, are we sure we want these guys in our conference? I mean, I’ve known some Texans in my day, and they’re all pretty insufferable just by way of being from Texas. Have you ever heard a Texan talk about Texas? Now their arithmetic skills are being called into serious question. Think this through, SEC fans, think it through.

/Kidding, of course.
