Other than Texas, of course. But I agree that OU and OSU could/would kill it.

who takes them now...they are a package deal.

If OSU keeps getting better, they'll become a pretty attractive package deal from a football quality standpoint. They still have the issue of media markets, etc., but OU's national brand could soften that problem. In the end it's going to be either the Pac 12 or the SEC, and the Pac 12 won't take them without Texas. If it starts to look like OU and OSU will leave for the SEC, I think Texas will bite the bullet and make the concessions necessary to join the Pac 12, taking OU and OSU (along with another Texas team, probably TTech) with them.
