Auburn football: 2 more ACC programs SEC could consider poaching

The SEC is making a power play right now that has never been seen in the history of college football. There have been mergers, but there have never been rumors of poaching the top schools (and Michigan) from every conference Power 5 conference besides the Pac-12 like there is right now. Clemson, Michigan, Ohio State, Florida State, Texas, and Oklahoma all joining the Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Auburn football programs could mean the end of the Power 5 structure as we know it.

Who knows how far this will go. The money seems to be in the SEC, and the top programs in the Midwest–and perhaps eventually the West Coast–could all be motivated to add more marquee matchups on the docket.

The SEC has grand plans, and at minimum, it seems as though the most relevant programs not already in the conference have plans to be soon. Nothing needs to change much with recruiting either. There are only three programs in 247Sports’ 2021 football recruiting rankings’ top 10 not currently a member or rumored to be speaking to the conference.

Now we should mention that nothing is set in stone beyond Texas and Oklahoma currently, and teams from the Midwest joining the Southeast Conference still seems a little strange. But given the existing rivalries throughout history with Clemson (Alabama, Georgia, Auburn football) and Florida State (Florida) and, you know, their current standing in the south, an extended ACC raid seems more likely than a Big Ten talent blitz.

Here are 2 more ACC targets FWE would like to see in the SEC:
