Auburn to ACC?

Auburn will be back, they hired a terrible coach after Malzan but have the fanbase and $$$ to recover

You realize Auburn has a National Title this century, and finished runner up twice? They aren’t irrelevant. Their problems are systematic in that their influential donors have too much control.

Uh... didn't say they were "irrelevant". But they've been heading in that direction.

The programs they are ahead of in conference championships haven't really been much of a factor in the conference and certainly not nationally in a very, very long time. Kentucky, Ole Miss, MSST, Arkansas, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt. Zero SEC championships since 1963. More than half a century. 6 decades.

Pretty irrelevant group. You don't want to get stuck in that group.

Now add Texas and Oklahoma.

I heard the SEC is going to 20 teams and then going to a relegation model. Two 10 team round robins. Top half of the league draws 75% of the money. Four teams rise and fall each year. SEC champion from the top half only.

If you're Vandy, Kentucky, South Carolina, Miss State, or Arkansas you'd be insane to agree to that type of split. Revenue sharing is the main reason to be in a conference - so that one or two down years doesn't have a snowball effect on the program's finances. Something we learned the hard way in the 70s. Getting a program competitive again after a failed coach is hard enough. A lopsided revenue split from the conference that is 2/3 of your schedule just compounds the problem.

While I think the little "article" is in jest, it definitely brings up a valid point. Being at the bottom of a mega conference like the SEC is a hard place to get out of.

Georgia Tech has more SEC championships in football than Kentucky, MSST, Arkansas, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt COMBINED and we left the conference in 1964. Tech has 5 SEC titles which is only 3 fewer than Auburn. How many more do you think Auburn is going to get after you add Texas and Oklahoma? Not many.

SOMEONES (SEVERAL SOMEONES) have got to do the losing...
 
I would love to see Auburn join the ACC, but they would lose too much money just can't see anyone leaving the SEC.
 
Antoher question. Would y'all trade Clemson for Auburn?

Auburn 5-4

I know it's California dreaming but adding Auburn, Florida and locking in Notre Dame would make for a helluva conference. Would also have the nice side effect of cementing the SEC as a hick conference.

Lol wut?
Auburn and Flo Rida are still pretty big hicks

The "come to Jesus" moment isn't far off. TV networks, especially ESPN/Disney, are behind the lunacy of conference "realignments" and that situation is a slow moving train wreck happening before our very eyes. IMHO, just a matter of time.

All bets are off if they go belly up. ND, Auburn, _______(fill in the blank) have a better chance at the CFP with the ACC than anywhere else. Even with it expanding.

Clemson has a lake. That's how you tell them apart.

Same as Auburn

Easier just to drive to Auburn and back. Tallahassee not so much. Plus, if you don't drive all the way back, you hit metro Atlanta hotels and motels pretty quick.
