These are the 3 schools wanted by the B1G and SEC
ND
FSU
UNC
You take as many of those 3 as you can. The rest is all filler imo.

My prediction is a maximum of four. The grabs are FSU & Clemson. Biggest question is whether they add a Virginia team and/or North Carolina team.
Miami is likely headed to the B10…but the same could be said of FSU.

B1G can have clemson. Give us FSU and the WOLFPACK

I bet we get FSU, Clemson, NC and NC State

with FSU and Clemson's biggest rivals already in the conference, I don't see why you wouldn't take them (outside of bitter-arse rivalry bullshite)
The OOC rival thing is really dumb. For this reason, Georgia should just stop playing GTech altogether as well

I posted on another thread, I think the SEC grabs Clemson and Fla State. I think the SEC wants 24 teams- three 8 team "subconferences"- stretching in a geographic continuity from Texas to the South Atlantic.
We have 16 teams with Texas and OU. That leaves 8 more spots, and you can bring in the heart of the ACC with those 8-
Clemson, Fla State, UNC, NC State, Duke, Virginia, and 2 of: Va Tech, Miami, Georgia Tech, maybe Wake Forest.
That gives you anywhere from 4 six team groups, 3 eight team groups, or 2 twelve team groups. Those groups would basically be the same as the East/West divisions we had, but adding one (or 2). Almost their own conferences, but still under the SEC flag and administration.
It would lock up the South for major college football (the elite talent base), and still maintain a lot of natural rivalries so those groups would be fun. And like Scrooster says in the other thread, it would also give the SEC the NC/Va market for TV viewers.
I don't necessarily think the SEC desired this to happen, but the Big 10 is pushing huge changes in the CFB landscape, with their raid on the Pac 12. Let's remember, that was their longtime business partner, those two conferences were very close, tied together with the Rose Bowl, and would vote in unison (2 of the P5 conferences, meaning they had the advantage in almost every P5 vote). If the Big 10 would stab the Pac in the back, I don't think any other conference, particularly the SEC, can trust them. So I think the SEC is preemptively going to lock up the Southern part of the country.

Not sure I agree with your premise, but a 4-team playoff to determine the winner of the SEC each year would be kind of cool.

Clemson is probably the most SEC like of any school we could add. It’s another Auburn

I think 3, because LSU likely would fight 4- the West would be Texas, A&M, Mizzou, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and ... LSU. That's basically being evicted from the traditional SEC
Go with 8 teams, and at least LSU can keep Ole Miss and Miss St.
The Atlantic side could be Fla, Clemson, SC, UNC, Duke, NC St, Va, and let's say Miami/Va Tech.
The Central could be Auburn, Bama, Georgia, Ga Tech, UK, Tenn, Vandy, Fla St.
You could try to shuffle that a little, putting 3 of the original 10 SEC in 2 groups, and 4 in the 3rd.
Here's an interesting map, it leaves NC State out but you get the gist

Georgia not playing GT sounds good to me. It’s no fun having to go to Techs rusty old hulk of a stadium every other year and having to put up with around 15,000 obnoxious Techies.
Georgia takes over that ridiculous excuse for a stadium and paints it red. GT adds nothing to any conference. Poor fan support, a mountain of debt and stadium that should probably be condemned. For their name to even being uttered as a possibility for the SEC is ridiculous.

What people are ignoring, is this:
The Big 10 is hellbent on taking over the CFB landscape, and becoming the governing body for the top tier. In their minds, the term "1-A" or "FCS" should be replaced with "BIG".
They have gutted the Pac 12, their closest ally. They have encircled the Big 12, which was floundering.
The ACC is beginning to crack, and most of the former Big East schools fit the Big 10 profile, if they choose to take them: Syracuse, BC, etc. Pitt is in their footprint.
They could raid the Big 12, getting West Virginia and most of the Midwest/West teams, filling in from Nebraska to USC.
The lone spot they don't have a foothold, is coincidentally the hottest recruiting region- the Southeast. Which is why the SEC is the single best conference.
The question will not be "who do we WANT in the SEC", it will be "who do we NOT want in the Big 10". Because teams will end up in one, or the other.

Clemson’s winning days are over and they don’t even sell beer at their stadium.
