We planter potato(es) on April 17 this year, yes, I expect summer soon. Where were you on June 25, 1957 and what was in the water you were drinking?

Snow thawed yet, Robert? The summer of '57 it snowed on 6/25 when I was there. You're about to have summer. As I recall, it was on a Wednesday that year.

Actually 16 teams would be easier to schedule. You would break the 16 teams into four divisions. Two Eastern divisions and Two Western Divisions. Each division champion would play in the first round of the SEC playoffs. The East and West Champions would play for the title. This could actually allow for playing more teams from other conferences.

The weird thing is that nobody writing about this seems to recognize the limitations inherent in the number of games we play. With our two new members, we're already down to two western division opponents a year. If you do home-and-home with West teams, you'd be about 12 years between playing any particular team. Even with one-game matchups, it's 6 years. At that rate, the SEC West is already barely the same conference as us. Add two more teams and you'll effectively make two separate 8-team conferences. If we played everyone from our own division, we'd only be able to play one team from the other division each year. It's hard to keep rivalries going when you only play a team once every 8 years. Everyone says it would be a super-conference, but I think it would eventually collapse under its own weight and would just end up as two conferences.

Why SEC Must Consider Eastern Expansion Now
Why not just add EVERY DAMN TEAM in America to the SEC? Get it over with. We’ll have all the money, all the TV, all the everything. Hell with everyone else.
Add Ohio State, THAT would piss Urban Meyer off! Hey Urban, welcome to the SEC! Heard of us?
Seriously, add two more teams before A&M and Mizzou have played at all? That’s crazy. Pretty soon the Gators will take the field and we’ll look across at the fans of the other team and say “are they in the SEC with us? Anybody know?”
Bueller?
