I think the B1G will try and grab some more teams in the south. I think Georgia Tech and Virginia will be targeted and would be a big benefit in recruiting for the confernce. If you look at fit and geography, I think Pitt and Boston College make sense too.
and basketball will just get tougher and tougher for the Huskers.

I understand the logic in getting more teams in a broader geographic range, but I think the last two years the Husker fans can talk to the point of how much more difficult it is to get to the away games now that conferences are expanding to where the TV markets are. Only a few years ago, I could make it to every away game but usually one in a season. Ames, Manhattan, Lawrence, even Columbia weren't too far away. Now, Iowa City is the closest and it's 4 hours away. You have to do a better job managing your finances, and usually that means cutting back travel. Back in the day I could just give my buddy a case of beer and pay for a hot dog at the game and I could hop in the car with him.
I also used to walk uphill to school, both ways... god I sound negative
I stand by my opinion. Vandy is as good right now as they are going to get. Kentucky could improve enough to make multiple times, but they aren't going to become a power, ever, in SEC football. That is not going to happen.
While Mizzou May be able to win a division title, it's going to take them a series of top 20, at least, recruiting classes for at least five straight years for that to happen. Exactly how well has Pinkel done at recruiting during his tenure?

Don't underestimate Vandy... they have a very good coach and have been doing well w/ recruiting. They will be very competitive as long as Franklin is around.
Take another close look at their season. Becoming the best of the non-competitive (read lousy) teams in a conference does not make you competitive.
......I think the jury is still out on Vandy....I just moved from Nashville, spent 10 long yrs there......what is competitive?......Rodgers brother graduated at QB & he could both run & throw.....northwestern beat them by bout 2 tds.....they beat umass, kentucky, vols, wake forest, bad mizzou by 4, auburn by 4....don't think there is a bowl team in there......maybe the only good win was ole miss by 1 pt.....think Nashville is excited for them cos they're used to beating no one........they really still haven't......
They had a very favorable schedule this year. Lets see how they do the next couple of years.
Well, by the comments by fans on these web sites, you're not competitive unless you're winning your division, at least.
Of the six teams you rattled off initially, their collective record was 21-51. They beat 2-10 Kentucky, and two teams that beat Kentucky. Two of their wins were against very, very bad FCS teams (3-20). They managed to beat one team with a winning record in the regular season, and a truly mediocre NCSU in what amounted to a home game.
I suppose for the locals that was an exciting season, but honestly they were marginally better than the worst four teams in the SEC, and managed to beat five of the six worst teams in the conference Ole Miss went 3-5 in the SEC, UK 0-8, Auburn 0-8, Mizzou 2-6, and MS 3-5).
Sorry, not a competitive program.
