With Texas and Oklahoma about to leave the Big 12, Florida Football is about to get more company in the SEC. The Longhorns and Sooners will boost the conference to 16 teams, creating scheduling challenges that have already not favored the Gators.
If we are being honest, 16 teams are too many for a conference to have. Division set ups are gone, traditional rivalries are at risk, and travel is about to become a nightmare for some sports.
The conference was perfect with 12 teams and a handful of our other Fansided sister sites have explored the idea of which teams they would kick out if given the choice.
Now unlike our partners at Death Valley Voice, the LSU site who wants to kick Florida out of the SEC, we here at Hail Florida Hail are more so looking at teams that add zero value to the conference and nobody would miss if they were gone.
With that in mind here are the four teams we would kick out of the SEC to get the conference back down to 12 teams if we had full autonomy to do so.
