[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 1157715, member: 4334"] The SEC doesn’t want to expand past 16 because they know that will benefit other conferences more than them. They’ll have close to half the field in a 12 or 16 teamer like they did this year. They know that 24 will bring in more “others” due to auto bids which the SEC hates. They want the polls to continue to be the controlling factor because they know that benefits them (see the early preseason polls for next year that are more of the same for a conference that hasn’t won squat lately). The BIG wants to expand into the south and eventually have pods in each part of the country so they want more teams in now because they know the minute they ask SMU, GT, UNC and others that they’ll jump so they are simply setting up the future system. And the simple fact is the majority of fans want expansion. It’s always been that way but it’s always the vocal minority that gets the media attention which is why every step from voting, to the BCS, to 4, then to 12, has been struggle if you watch the media. But the fans have flocked to the games. This years numbers once again prove it. So it’s just a matter of time whether Sankey agrees or not. [/QUOTE]
