A&M-to-SEC is inevitable

Asked a Texan what he thought about this talk; he said "The competition here is tough enough, they won't go to a conference where they will barely eek out 6 wins a year."

Any other thoughts?

I wanna know who the SEC is gonna kick out to make room for A&M? Or are they expecting the SEC to expand to 14?

Probably would add Clemson or possibly FSU to the east? SEC won't be able to kick anyone out I wouldn't think.

I think this would be a great move for both the SEC and Aggies. Houston market and Texas recruiting. Money and playing in the best conference. Win win.

Question: "Right now, what distinguishes A&M from Texas in the eyes of the average high schooler?"

Answer: Texas wins more games and oh yeah the whole Sheep/Man love thing.

If we're going to add an Ag school, let's kick out the other one.

True, but what have you done for me lately?

But has the tide turned or was this past season a fluke?

Vanderbilt - they belong in the ACC or Big East - not the SEC. This is a long overdue divorce. Move Auburn over to the East and plug LSU and T A/M yearly rivals and Florida / Arkansas the same. Besides, with Vandy, its like having the token geek on the squad for diversity's sake. Everyone knows its a farce, but yet......

Further, I think that Duke, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Michigan, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Tulane, and Wake Forest should just form their own conference anyways. Call it the W.A.S.P Conference, you know - Western Applalachian Southern Plains Conference or the We Are Smart People Conference. Or....go with the old old favorite - White Anglo Saxon Protestant Conference.

They cannot just "kick" someone out. So it has to be an expansion thing to 14 or 16. More likely a prelude to the first super-conf in CF by going to 16. You have all heard this before, but a playoff would set up real nice if Div I schools broke into 4 conferences of 16 teams (goodbye Big East and Big 12) and had the conf champs and 4 at-large (based on a BCS type formula) square off.

I know, dream on baby.

Adding A&M would help the SEC academically as only Vandy#17, Florida 53# and Georgia #56 rank higher than the Ags #63 in the current US News College rankings. But of course everyone else in the country knows that the SEC puts a low priority on academic performances by revenue sports.

Of course, Notre Dame might not cotton the last appellation! They are still sore about the whole Martin Luther thing.

That's good. Did you just think this up on the fly?

Are there any hard facts to back this up or is it just the pure speculation of the sportswriter? Give me some facts here.

What sin against humanity did Donald Duck commit that deserves being lumped in with the sheep molesters?

Many thanks; on rare occasion, I have my moments - they of course, mostly end in failure!

First, Notre Dame is a catholic school. Not protestant.

Second, as hog fan I don't want an annual game with Florida.

Third, Northwestern is located in Chicago, Notrem Dame in South Bend, IN. Same with Michigan. Not southern.
