[Coach Hank Crisp]

The great orator weighs in:

LSU's Miles: 'Great advantages' to Texas A&M joining SEC

"I certainly understand the want to be in this league," Les Miles.

This echos my prediction (guess) from earlier today that if expansion happens it will be A&M and VA Tech.

Maybe... but I've seen multiple reports where Va Tech wants none of it.

If I'm right it should be worth an e-cred or two. If I'm wrong who cares anyway.

I agree.

Va Tech wants nothing of having to play SEC teams like Georgia, UT, Florida, Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Arkansas, & others on a regular basis. Not when they can play such football powers as NC State, UNC, Maryland, Duke, & Georgia Tech. Basically, they have to worry about 2 teams, Clemson (maybe and that's a big maybe), and FSU.

None of the other schools will admit to considering a jump to the SEC. If it doesn't happen it will look real bad for the ACC or whatever conference they are affiliated.. So they'll consider their options in private, all the while saying they are happy where they are.

The only time a school may indicate they are considering a move is, as in the case of A&M, showing the BigXII that they are disgruntled.

It was announced on ESPN Sports Center this morning that they have received word from reliable sources that TA&M had agreed to move to the SEC and would it be announced tomorrow. I didn't find any link on ESPN to back this up though and we all know about reliable sources.

Is this the beginning of a new era for college football. As I turned on the TV tonight, Rick Karle stated that FSU and VA Tech had voiced some interest in joining the SEC. There are quite a few teams with interest in the SEC and what does that mean with all of this happening.

Could we be headed toward something that would create a playoff for the national championship? Somehow I get the feeling that there will be other conferences adding more teams and who knows, there may be only 10-12 conferences what all is said and done. If this happened then there would be a chance for a playoff system.

The NCAA needs a change and I feel they don't know which way to go to make college football better. Do you think Slive is going to open a can of worms when the SEC adds more teams, I do. The SEC is the King of the conferences and the others aren't going to let them have it all.

Here's the latest. According to this article, the SEC will not go beyond 14 teams. The potentials in conference shake-ups could be mind boggling.

SEC

Potential subtractions: None.

Potential additions: Texas A&M and either Virginia Tech, Missouri, Clemson, Louisville or NC State.

The fallout: The biggest, baddest conference just got stronger. If that’s possible.

I still think the 14th team will be VA Tech. Missouri is a Big 10 team, Clemsom is the barn with a lake, Louisville don't interest me and NC St is about the 3rd best team in their own state.

If it's VT, I'll e-cred ya til you get 10 (though it may take a while at 1 per hour  ).

I just wonder if Beamer had rather stay put and be at the top of his conference or move and be a 5th or 6th place team (or worse) in the SEC.

FIFY, J.

This is about money, not football IMO. I remember Frank Broyles who was AD at Arkansas when they left the SWC to move to the SEC. He said they were giving up 75 years of friendships but this is a financial decision. This is about more than football, it is the whole athletic program.

[SUPERCOACH]

+100 if you are right pmull.  That will put you back on top ahead of Jesse's dad.
