Wow, Tennessee has got to be overjoyed with this.  UK and Vandy?  WTF?

Florida and Tennessee had to have wanted it this way. No way the SEC just did that.

We? just weren't elite based on our record the past decade.  So there was no urgency to give us 2 big-boy teams.  Carolina is decent year in and year out, but idk.

To get UK and Vandy.....the Vols kissed the right asses on that one.

I guess so.  Maybe I find the game more valuable and interesting than their own administrators do.

Shit like this is what makes me not even care about conferences anymore. Similar to OU-Nebraska not playing every year in the Big 12.

Yeah conferences larger than ten were the beginning of the end.  16 and 18 is just flat out ludicrous.

Correction, it was based on league record the past 4 years.  OU and Texas' records from the Big XII were used.

You know, just half-ass this shit.

One can criticize the choices easily, but coming up with alternatives gets tough.
