You’re forgetting that we will probably play rotating conference games. Might even have a permanent rival. Nobody really knows yet if the Alabama schools go east. Anyway you slice it the SEC middle schools are probably better than the middle XII schools. I’m talking about TCU, Iowa st, Kansas state.

I mean, with Alabama and Auburn going to the East, how scared is Texas supposed to be?  LSU is a trainwreck, a helmet with no teeth.  The Mississippi schools are the Mississippi schools.  Arkansas is known to occasionally put a nice season together, but they've never proven they can sustain anything.  A&M is who is left, and when have the Horns ever been scared of the Aggies? 

I'm not saying Texas doesn't need to do a ton of work, but sans the Alabama schools, the rest of the west is pretty meh.
If the SEC goes to two 8-team divisions, the strength will definitely be in the East, at least considering how programs are right now.
I'm still hoping for four 4-team subdivisions (pods).  That arrangement would let everyone play everyone else in the conference in at least one home-and-home series with a 9-game conference schedule.  At the expense of some rivalries, some of them very real and some, eh, not exactly dating back to the 1869 game between Princeton and Rutgers.

Classy BB


Ive been saying to all who will listen that UT would not be that good this year

1st year coach and freshman QB

but dont worry well be back

I guess you can say you guys are lucky you dont have any more Pac 12 games scheduled

man getting owned in your own house must sting


Aw, you get used to it after a while. O0

Not ideal of course, but there are a lot worse things than losing by one score to a great team.

Could have been boat raced by the Hawgs, for example...

It might come down to who can raid whom--the rump Big 12 or the AAC.
Guess this question has been answered.

A decade back, the powers in the SEC were somewhat different, we all know this thing changes over time to some extent.  Arky was 11-2 and USCe was 11-2, UGA was 10-4 and ranked in the teens.  Florida was unranked.  Bama beat LSU for the BCS thingee.
