For 16: Kansas and Oklahoma
For 18: Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and West Virginia

Kansas for basketball.
Oklahoma for football, basketball, and national appeal.
Texas because it's Texas.
West Virginia for its likeness to SEC programs along with a decent football program and a good basketball program.

I would consider Oklahoma St only if Oklahoma declined.
I would consider Baylor only if Texas declined.
I would not consider TCU or Texas Tech. TCU is football-centric while Baylor has strong football and basketball. Texas is too far away.
I would not consider Kansas St. Their football and basketball are both typically okay, but neither program are as Kansas is to basketball.
I would consider Iowa St if the goal was beyond 18.

I do think the SEC will pass on OU if they think they can gain better prizes to the East. But if the Big 12 is the only game for expansion I think OU is our #1 pick. We'll see.

Greg Sankey should be fired immediately if he passed on OU by themselves. The SEC already extended an invitation to OU at the same time they extended one to Texas A&M.

And because they drug their feet we landed Missouri. That's two spots. If we took OU now, especially if we had targets to the East, it screws up traveling companions there.

The only scenario that I could see one addition to the West and one to the East that would be acceptable would be Oklahoma and Florida State, or perhaps Oklahoma and Virginia Tech.

Adding FSU would probably begin the break up of the ACC. Adding VT w/ OU would still give the SEC the chance to add UNC and Duke down the line.

The two schools that add the most content value and total value would be Texas and Oklahoma. The two schools from the ACC that add the most content value would be Florida State and Clemson. The college football world won't let us do it, but imagine the value of a conference with all 4, especially if that conference was the SEC.

Content wise, you almost wouldn't even need the rest of the college football inventory to watch or broadcast.
