Georgia Tech has no real value to the SEC except to keep the B1G from planting a flag in the south. I don't see the B1G bypassing GT to add FSU or CU; but I could see the B1G adding both GT and Miami, or GT and UCF. After this year's UGA game I hope we don't end up back in the SEC because we would be kept beneath UGA by the SEC for decades. There is simply no reason for the SEC to let GT become more than another Vandy with more GT losses to UGA via bad officiating whenever necessary. B1G on the other hand would be glad to have a bad call give us a win over UGA.

Disagree. We have a lot of historical rivals in the SEC. Although that may not matter all by itself, GT’s seats will be filled if we’re in the SEC.

Furthermore, we can compete. We’re showing that now.

The SEC doesn't need another strong program to challenge their pre-ordained CFP representative teams. They have the exact power balance they want - just enought teams that look tough on paper that the dwags, Bama, TX etc can squeek by and hype as a big win.

GT is the absolute last thing the SEC needs. All we would do is completely screw up their pecking order.

The SEC has demonstrated multiple times that our enemies will sabotage any attempt for us to return.

True, but the SEC is still my first choice assuming I’d get to choose (which I don’t lol).

Also, we’ve made progress on this front. We’ve played at both Mississippi schools, and we had a sticker on our helmet to honor that Miss State player that died or had cancer or something like that.

Why?

Granted, FSU is coming off a truly laughable season. But they're still a name and it wasn't that long ago they were winning national championships. Clemson is still a playoff team.
We're 52-69 in our last 10 seasons. We can pat ourselves on the back for climbing out of the giant outhouse Clown put us in, but from an outside perspective, we're still 7-6 and 7-6 the last two seasons.
We don't give a Big 10 or SEC any kind of entrance into the Atlanta market, because they're already there. They don't need us. The Big Integer is already well entrenched in recruiting in Georgia. Ohio State had seven guys from Georgia on its roster recruited out of high school for 2024.
If and when the ACC finally does spin apart and sends programs careening through the college football galaxy, what then?
We're going to need a sustained run of 9-10 win seasons. Not back to back, but at least three or more straight. We're going to need to beat a Georgia - or a Clemson - a couple of years running to get that kind of streak and then to get the attention of a Big 10 or SEC. No "they competed and gave em a game" stuff. Beat them. On the scoreboard. And we can't follow that up by dropping a bowl game deuce against a Vandy.
We are on a better track than we were three years ago. But we have to get this in gear pretty soon.

B1G is looking at being a National Conference, they need some teams in the South to claim that. Everyone seems to think the future is 2 major conferences, the B1G and the SEC; I think the B1G would be even happier being the only major conference. We can bring market share just like Miami or UCF can. Your argument that they are already in Georgia is no more or less valid than saying they were already in Washington, Oregon, and California. The B1G was able to cherry pick the PAC10, they won't be able to cherry pick the traditional SEC the same way. I don't foresee them picking some redneck schools in locations nobody wants to travel to like Clemson or FSU; thus GT, UCF & Miami would be more likely representation in the south. I also see them grabbing some Texas schools in the future and at some point ND.
