Paul Finebaum: Virginia Tech was ‘strongest candidate’ for SEC expansion in 2012

JASON HALL
September 12, 2014

Virginia Tech was the SEC’s top choice during conference expansion, at least according to Paul Finebaum.

During an interview with Greg Burton on his radio show Hardly Workin’ on ESPN950, the SEC pundit discussed how serious a candidate Virginia Tech was to joining the conference during conference realignment.

“Virginia Tech I think was probably the strongest candidate,” said Finebaum.

In 2012, the ACC’s new television deal began disscussions to whether schools would leave for other conferences. Maryland left for the Big Ten and Florida State openly considered a move to the Big 12. Among the talks surrounding realignment was the rumor that Virginia Tech was said to be a target for the SEC.

Rumors of the Hokies interest had been circulating since the beginning of the conference realignment frenzy of 2010-13, but the talks seemed more serious as the ACC’s position became weaker. Despite Virginia Tech athletic director Jim Weaver stating his school’s support of the ACC, the SEC still felt that the Hokies were the best addition for their conference.

“It was a good fit,” said Finebaum. “The fanbase was rabid, the football seemed to fit the SEC.”

The addition of Virginia Tech would have seemingly opened a pipeline into the talented recruiting grounds of southern Virginia, as well as bring in the Washington, D.C. television market.

However, the jump to the SEC was never made and Virginia Tech remained a member of the ACC, while the SEC added Texas A&M and Missouri.

Losing a fruit bowl to the Tucan Sams cost them the bid.

ESPN Gameday:

Vanderbilt's loss to Temple is the only blemish.

You didn't realize it because it hasn't been dominant. As of 2012:

Judging by inter-conference records -- that is to say actual games as opposed to media guesswork and bestowed rankings -- the SEC plays other BCS conferences about equally. Witness the record since the start of the BCS era in 1998:

SEC vs. PAC-12 regular season: 10-12
SEC vs. PAC-12 bowl games: 1-0
SEC vs. Big 12 regular season: 6-10
SEC vs. Big 12 bowl games: 21-8
SEC vs. ACC regular season: 42-36
SEC vs. ACC bowl games: 16-9
SEC vs. Big 10 regular season: 7-4
SEC vs. Big 10 bowl games: 19-19
SEC vs. Big East regular season: 16-15
SEC vs. Big East bowl game: 3-8

The record is clear. In head-to-head match-ups against other major conferences, the SEC has either a combined losing record or one that's generally only a little better than even.

The Big 12 has 7 games against BCS opponents today.

I'm not sure what the point was for posting records after week 2.

I don't know. But they won't change the data much since 1998-2011 is the bulk of the data from the BCS years.

Updated since that was published on 8/13/2012.

SEC vs. PAC-12 regular season: 13-13
SEC vs. PAC-12 bowl games: 1-0
SEC vs. Big 12 regular season: 8-11
SEC vs. Big 12 bowl games: 23-9
SEC vs. ACC regular season: 47-39
SEC vs. ACC bowl games: 18-10
SEC vs. Big 10 regular season: 10-6
SEC vs. Big 10 bowl games: 21-20
SEC vs. Big East regular season: 18-17
SEC vs. Big East bowl game: 4-8

Old total 141-121
Since 22-12
New total 163-133
