Will we be welcomed with acceptance or jealousy in the SEC

It’s going to be interesting the impact we’ll have on the conference Championship and will we get the SEC rating curve too as an advantage too.
It’s going to be sweet getting the top seed because we beat other SEC teams.
Dabo has built this current team knowing change is coming. We are going bigger on the OL to be able to to handle the bigger SEC DT’s on two to three of the best teams.
Alabama, LSU, Ugaa & Texas.
It’s going to be cool to kick around the coots and count it as a conference game(unless they are removed or traded to the PAC 4.

IF we joined the SEC, we would most likely be welcomed by everybody except

Great question HumbleServant® ... Would have to answer both. We will be a big draw for SEC teams and create a lot of fan interest. And all SEC teams and fan bases will want to indoctrinate Clemson by kicking our behinds.
I'm good with that. Just like the "rats" before my time had their indoctrination, even with Clemson's great history, there will be a few years of heightened visibility and media punches. Clemson will survive and thrive. A lot to look forward to ... Go Tigers!

Wherever we end up, we'll be treated like a red headed step child for the 1st couple of years. Once we win our 1st conference title, we'll be part of the gang.

Texas and Oklahoma will be welcomed and so would you. Everyone will, naturally, want to beat you but you will be one of us. We pull together for the good of the conference. There's nothing like SEC football. Fans travel unlike the Big. It's a bowl game almost every game.

You do know we usually play two SEC schools a year? We are very familiar with the stadiums and fans.

Even if we end up in the SEC, I will never
1. Chant “SEC, SEC”
2. Cheer for other SEC teams, just because we’re in the same conference
That’s usually done by the fans of the lower tier teams (South Carolina cough cough) anyway

We are not invited anywhere but our best landing spot is the Big10, not the SEC. Neither conference needs us to be successful but the SEC needs us the least.

Every SEC team will think they can beat us. Clemson Football will own them.

The 2015-2020 Clemson Football purely dominated any SEC it encountered.
When Clemson is on top. Noone can win except an Alabama or Georgia (and those will be close close games)

Are yall sure you are going to the SEC. All my intel says if we were to expand it would be UNC and VA/VT for different markets It goes with the trend of having the flagship universities for each state

Check out the ratings after the Clemson- Georgia game this fall and you will figure it out. You can throw out the flagship, market size etc crap. That's old school thinking. It's about eyeballs and number of eyeballs on match ups between big brands now.

I doubt the SEC Blue Bloods like the idea of giving up that SEC vs. ACC recruiting edge they believe they have right now.

I don't get why the coots would not want the usual loss to Clemson to count as a conference game and then they can go and schedule an extra cupcake game to pad their win total.

Good question. The answer is that every fan would probably have their own feeling about it. Some would welcome you, some would scoff at it, some would be ambivalent, and so on. Outside of USC, I doubt anyone would be "jealous".
Me personally, I would fall somewhere along the ambivalent to welcoming range. I've always loved the rivalry, and I like the fact that we've played recently (and again this year, and also 4 more times in the next 8 or 9 years). And we can always use another conference win 
And as I mentioned in another thread, your "Gathering at the Paw" would continue in the SEC - provided you allow time for the visiting team and refs to exit the field first, which you pretty much do now iirc.
