RE: Pros and Cons of SEC/ACC Realignment Scenario
(01-03-2021 11:18 PM)Statefan Wrote: The best thing about the addition of Vandy would be the closer proximity to Texas, OU, and Kansas. That would allow ESPN to cobble up the SEC and ACC as follows:
ACC
West - Texas, TCU, Kansas, Vandy, Louisville, ND
East - BC, Syracuse, Pitt, VT, UVa, UNC
South - Wake, Duke, Clemson, GT, FSU, Miami
SEC
East - UK, NC State, SC, UGa, UF, Auburn
South - TN, Bama, LSU, Ole Miss, MSU, Ark
East - Oklahoma, OSU, TT, Mizzou, ISU
That's fairly even. Added SEC/ACC cross rivalries would be OU/Texas, Texas/TT, NC State/WF, NC State/UNC, NC State/Duke, Mizzou/Kansas, Vandy/TN, Vandy/Bama, Of course at this point you have the old Southern Conference.
You should try this:
ACC:
Boston College, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Virginia, Virginia Tech
Clemson, Duke, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina
Iowa State, Baylor, Kansas State, Texas, T.C.U., Texas Tech
*Notre Dame, *Wake Forest
SEC:
Florida, Georgia, N.C. State, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia
Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky, Louisiana State, Mississippi, Mississippi Sate
Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M
*Vanderbilt
Now by going to 18 with Vanderbilt and Wake Fake moving to a partial for football only and Notre Dame keeping their normal status ESPN can totally merge the B12 with the SEC and ACC and Texas can keep it's business model intact and still have the RRR as a crossover rival.
