Like I mentioned in another thread. I think the recent ACC TV deal is a big deal, because IMO it potentially takes the Clemson, FSU, Miami, Georgia Tech to the SEC that you hear around these parts completely off the table. They very well could look at the additional competition as not being worth a few extra million dollars . . . when they can draw a nice payout from their TV deals and have better shots at conference titles, BCS births and NCAA tourney invites.
So then the SEC has to start looking WEST IMO . . . one smart poster in Powertardville pointed out that Texas doesn't like the SEC. Texas from what I know from living there and such views themselves as more Southwestern oriented . . . SEC territory to them is still dominated by the "old south". They hate Arkansas, they hate LSU, they consider almost everyone of the SEC schools as inferior to them in every way.
While it's a massive longshot I know . . . the SEC is still not totally out of the equation. Taking KSU completely out of the SEC equation, it wouldn't shock me at all if OU, OSU and A&M didn't get a call and seriously consider the SEC.
