MEGA-SEC!!!!!! Super SEC??!?!? What's in a name?

Now that we have reviewed the $$$ and the reasoning, let’s make the leap (for further discussion purposes) to say that these four schools WOULD indeed join the new MEGA-SEC:

The new MEGA-SEC:

East

UGA

Florida

Tennessee

South Carolina

Kentucky

Vanderbilt

Florida State

Clemson

West

Alabama

Auburn

LSU

Ole Miss

Mississippi State

Arkansas

Texas

Texas A&M

How would this affect the landscape of the SEC:

In regards to the new TV contract, it would be huge. Look at some of the annual games you would get.

Texas vs. Alabama

Texas vs. LSU

Texas vs. Auburn

Texas A&M vs. Arkansas

Florida State vs. Tennessee

Florida State vs. UGA

Clemson vs. UGA

Clemson vs. Florida

Clemson vs. Tennessee

Clemson vs. Kentucky (and not in the Music City Bowl)

Potentially: (maintained on cross divisional annual opponents)

Texas vs. Florida State

Clemson vs. Texas A&M

Big games every 6 years:

Texas vs. Florida

Texas vs. UGA

Texas vs. Florida State

Texas vs. Tennessee

Florida State vs. Alabama

Florida State vs. Auburn

Florida State vs. LSU

Clemson vs. LSU

Clemson vs. Alabama

Clemson vs. Auburn

Is there enough ESPN night games to go around? Maybe CBS would go to two games each week.

With this line up, I really doubt we have undefeated SEC teams any more. However, the national respect level would go up even more.

Note: Playing a 10 game conference schedule, the new MEGA SEC teams will only get to schedule two OOC games each year.
