Full reasoning/reporting:

“…despite Florida State football’s storied past and present strength, FSU wouldn’t be a serious candidate for expansion. Same for Clemson even with its recent national titles.

The SEC is believed to be a less likely option…The league is set to begin as a 16-team operation next season existing in contiguous states. It is already powerful. It is already rich. It has now taken over large swaths of Texas.

The SEC’s goal is to play a level of football that appeals to a national audience. It also already has schools in Florida (the University of Florida) and South Carolina (the University of South Carolina).

‘My sense is there is more opposition than interest,’ one SEC source said.”
