Sorry, JR, but Florida State and Louisville are the two most SEC like schools in the ACC.
If you were going to make changes, I could understand Baylor and TCU for Rice and SMU(for football props), but Oklahoma must move west with Texas and Kansas.

I would say Clemson is the most SEC like school followed by Florida State. Louisville and NC State are tied for #3

Clemson and Florida State are the two which are most SEC like. In fact they are like two lost SEC schools which were adopted by by the wrong family. But getting X to turn loose of his fantasy of regaining South Carolina or giving up Clemson is nigh on impossible.

From a Clemson perspective - absolutely not!

It's a neat hypothetical of having all the South's premiere academic schools in one conference but you gotta admit that West division is terrible from a competitive POV (ignoring that Mizzou isn't southern)

I don't throw this around often, but honestly that is perfect.
