re: How is this still going?

I agree. While the sec is a prestigious football league, A&m literally made it even harder for them to win the natty by joining the sec and having the playoffs now makes even tougher on top of that. Just think about it. Look at Clemson they can cruise through the weak acc and still beat the sec's best in Bama. OU and Texas can literally follow that same path in the big 12.
