Texas and Okie reportedly interested in joining SEC ....

[Used 2 B Hu]

It's all about the division, if they don't re-align. SEC West is a meat-grinder. Okies could def compete in the East.

Let's say they go to four divisions:

A) Georgia, Florida, UK, USC

B) Tenn, Vandy, Bama, Auburn

C) Miss, MSU, LSU, aTm

D) Mizzou, Arkie, OU, Tex

All four divisions have two tough teams, and uhh, two teams who have wonderful personalities

They could arrange it so that A & C, B & D play each other one year, then next season it's A & B, C & D, third season its A & D, B & C.

Every year they would play at least one team from the other divisions they're not scheduled to face. This would balance out the schedules faster and you can preserve more of the traditional rivalry games.

Ok, so Bold they could maintain the annual Tide-Vol beatdown, Auburn-UGA, and FL-LSU. I like this idea overall, it's like what the NFL does between divisions.

But do you have a two-game champeenship then? On top of the expanded playoff system?

 

[thunderc]

I think no matter what the SEC will do a complete realignment.

 

[thunderc]

Being reported here that Texas has already agreed to merging the shorthorn network into the SEC network. I have been expecting ESPN to pull the plug on that anyway, they have lost a lot of money on it.

If there are four superconferences of 16 teams each, then yeah, each league has a four-team playoff for their conference title, then the four winners do the current playoff.

Since there is 65 Power 5 schools. Your scenario allows 64. Which school is left out??? I’ll start - Kansas.

A lot of conferences may want their basketball program though. I wonder if we'll start to see programs being in different conferences for different sports. It's rare but it does happen for a lot of the smaller schools. FCS realignment already happened this offseason with the Southland and WAC and some schools have dual membership in the new ASUN/Big South conference structure.

Ya hear ya. Kansas has hoop. Vanderbilt has Baseball. Maybe it’s Rutgers?

 

[Duckboy33]

It’s a given that OU is out of the big 12 after 2023. Multiple reasons but one is fans and powers that be are sick of constantly being picked to play 11 am starts. OU comes into the SEC as the solid #2 tram and once in the league will recruit with anyone and everyone. That is actually already happening.

Join the PAC 12 and you'll never play an early game again

 

[Tomhusker]

SEC would take OU in a heartbeat. Tu not so sure on that. Texas is the problem child of the big 12 and what caused all the BS to begin with. I hope OU goes to the SEC

Tejas has money. Their brand is bigger than OU's brand.
They're still a bunch of fags tho.

If it's gonna be 16 all-around, the B1G needs a couple of teams. And every time I see the topic being discussed, UNC comes up. But I'm thinking they're not willing to scuttle tradition by leaving the ACC, because of the BBall.


If this evolves as the new super-conference movement, Notre Dame should either be fully independent or not eligible for playoffs unless fully belonging to a conference. Enough of the back-dooring into the playoffs.

You can be damn sure they are gonna get paid somehow.

Texas Longhorn Channel would get bought out … a$m would never allow Texas to be in same conference as them. They cannot compete with Texas.

It would not have made it this far if it wasn’t already a done deal.

A&M can compete with Texas.

Aggies will have to lose a couple more games every year if they want to get on the same level as Texas.

Only need 11 votes. aTm can't do it themselves. And I disagree with the latter as well, think aTm would have surely beat Tejas last year, for example.

A&M is just posturing to save face with their fans. This deal is already done.
