The SEC is made up of large state universities (with the lone exception of Vanderbilt). And the SEC only has a max of 2 schools per state. Adding Miami and FSU would give them 3 in Florida, which is 1 too many for the SEC playbook. I think the SEC takes a hard pass on Miami. ** Edited by tarheelblue at 9/8/2022, 2:32:23 PM
