Arkansas is bad now, but not egregious for the conference from a historical perspective. South Carolina seems to be improving. Vandy is a strange fit but I feel like maybe the conference likes to have an elite academic school in there for credibility.

I'd probably argue that Arkansas today probably has a better claim to elevation than SC. That comes from a conversation we had here in the batcave about what's reasonable vs overachieving at a number of programs, those 2 and Kentucky being among them.
But none are more than a bad hire away from being disaster areas again (which
can happen to anybody ... Bama wandered in the desert for quite a while not THAT long ago)
And there isn't really a scenario where Vandy football should remain in a futuristic SEC, nor really one where I believe they'd really want to.
