I just can't see two schools from a smaller and demographically challenged great plains state going to the SEC, and one of them neither a flagship, nor a R1 institution, whose biggest value is a game against OU in November, which under SEC scheduling would be allowed as an OOC game (like Clemson- So Car, FSU-Florida, Georgia Tech-Georgia, Louisville-Kentucky).

I just can't see a non-flagship school gaining admission to the SEC. They don't have to take a 2nd tier school from any state, and they don't have to take an R2 institution.

Well FWIW Tony Barnhart has said if the SEC expands it will go hard after OU and OSU.

Tony Barnhart is the most trusted reporter for the SEC office. Tony knew a month in advance of the Missouri announcement, in fact prerecorded it and still kept his mouth shut. I have more respect for him than any other SEC/ACC beat writer. Did you have a link?
