Who would the rest of you SECers like to see as your three perma-rivals?
Texas, obviously.

We've played Mizzou more often than anybody else now in the SEC, but most Sooner fans don't care much one way or the other about that "rivalry." I'd like to have Bama, but I can't imagine that happening. I'd like to have Tennessee, but I can't see that happening either. I'd like to have Texas A&M, but the Aggies already have at least 3 legitimate rivalries.

I'll go with Texas, Tennessee, Bama.

But I think we get Texas, Mizzou, Florida. Meh.

I think that the 4-year re-look is a good idea. But I hope it doesn't end longstanding rivalries.

That's... interesting.  Can't really call it a rivalry if you don't want to play it every year.
I know it’s a little different.

Gigem:

I didn't see it when it happened. The OU radio announcers, after the game, talked through a replay they were watching. Maybe it's the same replay that's in that Tweet. As they explained it, when the ball is spotted, players need to be between the numbers. On that video clip, you can't see where the WR Sategna (#5) is when the ball is spotted. But the numbers where he should be are not in the frame.

Hugh Frieze obviously thinks it was an illegal play, and it may have been an illegal play. I suspect that we have not heard the last of this.

Yeah I only watched the 4th quarter but I was kind of jumping around. I did watch the Auburn TD for the lead and the subsequent OU TD to regain the lead and then I watched OU absolutely crush Auburn near their goal resulting in several sacks and a safety. I’m glad you guys exposed them, we get them at Kyle next week.

We ran that exact play on my junior high football team.  It was legal then.

My question is…did OU misinterpret the rules and think the play was legal…or did they simply get away with it. I don’t think something like that is reviewable.

Next weeks schedule. Alabama v Georgia is usually pretty exciting. 

I may attend the A&M-Auburn game. Only if weather is decent, ain’t sitting in 95 degree heat.

High of 89 predicted for Saturday in College Station.  Warm but not unbearable.

Horns have an off week.

Was able to attend Saturday night's game. Was interesting to see Arch get his mind right.

After Texas stuffed the first SHSU drive as predictable, Arch continued to panic his passes. First two, you could see the feet get happy. He side-armed one into the OL and was lucky to see it hit the ground.
Next, he threw at the knees of stationary receivers. They caught them, but were dropping to the ground as they did so.
Then, he started to basically throw the route tree. He started throwing curls and stops, then threw outs. He bricked one deep out from the far hash (one of the toughest throws on the tree) by about 2 feet, then returned to that throw and hit his man perfectly! He then moved on to throwing crossers, connecting with moving targets.
Towards the end, he threw the nine route - a fly to Wingo. The ball dropped beautifully right over his shoulder in stride like you'd design it. Credit to Wingo for an effortless over the shoulder grab (he's gotta start catching with hands, though).
Finally, under pressure, he stuck a quick TD slant to Wingo without thinking. Automatic. He knew where to go and went there.

Yep, it was against one of the weakest teams in football, no doubt. I think Texas fans can agree, though, that the previous two games weren't about the level of competition. They were about Arch bricking passes to open teammates, or not seeing his progressions properly. At least for one night on Saturday, they demonstrated that it isn't a skill thing.
