It could be a factor, some programs might have resisted having to buy out one of them in exchange for a game with "UGA".  The borderling teams are looking for a bowl game as a good season.  Getting three wins OOC is important for them.  They can then go 3-6 in conference and against some in state rival and get one.

Changing up all these OOC schedules so quickly could have been an major issue with going to nine.
Yeah.

From OU's perspective, it worked the other way. OU had scheduled 3 OOC games (IAW the Big 12's 9-game conference schedule), but lost one (to UGA) because of the move to the SEC and so now needs to find two more opponents to play 14 months from now. And getting one of them to be a P5 school won't be easy.

But existing SEC teams' preferences were what counted, reasonably enough.

May be an image of 5 people, people playing football and text that says 'RIALM ORIAL HIPSUITES ILSDIUM STADIUM XI KANSAS 30 50 Dillon Davis @dillondavis3 KU has 17 of 22 starters returning, the Big 12 Preseason Offensive POY at QB, and three other players projected as First Team All-Big 12 performers- one of whom is the Big 12's only returning 1,000-yard rusher. What a time to be Jayhawk. #RockChalk'

Man I sure would love to see Texas win one on the way out.  Hope springs eternal.

In 1995 and 1996 the Horns won the last SWC title and the first in their new conference, the B12.

How fun would it be seeing history repeat itself and the Horns win their last B12 title in 2023 and their first in their new conference, the SEC in 2024.

That would be fun for Horns fans no doubt.  It's a nice aspiration.  I always felt the goal of a season was to win the conference.  Winning the NC usually takes a lot of luck along the way.

Agree completely, but sadly the 24/7 sports news cycle and nationalization of the game, led primarily by ESPN and other mediots, has ruined that for younger crowds.  Now all they seem to be able to focus on, is the national championship.

And if your ONLY goal for a season is the national championship, you're going to be bitterly disappointed most of the time.  That doesn't sound like much fun to me.

As we've chatted, it has evolved to this point with many folks.  If Dawg fans don't see a threepeat, they probably will howl for Kirby's scalp.  Well, maybe not yet.
