Whats your outlook on yalls season?
Arizona State has significant injury problems on offense, and the PAC 12 has shown themselves to have a remarkable lack of physicality. I am hopeful for a win and wouldn't be the least bit surprised to win in a blowout.
We should go 3-0 in the other three.
If we get enough momentum early, we could do great things. However, like most, I think 8 wins is the expectation with a possibility of 10 or 11 if things go right.

Per the Longhorns, the southeastern US is inhabited by gap toothed cousin frickin morons. They want none of it.
If the Longhorns change conferences it will definitely not be to the SEC.

From your own link:
Yeah, certainly OU-Tx was the biggest draw that week. Coupla blue-bloods, with the national, nay INTERNATIONAL following that they have.
Or maybe not...
Ooooooh! So close! Your marquee game (really the only marketable game of your entire season) came in 3rd to two SEC contests. Well, I'm sure the poor performance was a fluke. Surely the following year you must have done much, much better...

Rating: 2.8 4.24M Oklahoma v. Texas ABC
Damn... well, on the bright side, your noon kickoff marquee game WAS able to edge out the 9:00pm A&M/Miss game this time (2.4 share, 4.09M). So overall, your Only Marketable Game is a slightly bigger draw than A&M/Miss. So you've got that going for you, I suppose.
Snark aside, the OU and UTx "brands" aren't what you imagine them to be. The ratings keep bearing that out over and over. What conference you're in, who you play... that matters.
The takeaway is that what the SEC wants from the state of Texas, they already have with A&M as a member. It's why they invited us.

Based on Nielsen ratings finalized to date, ESPN’s Saturday night telecast of Texas A&M defeating Ole Miss 41-38 on October 12 was the most-viewed college football game of the week across all networks. The matchup between SEC West Division rivals averaged 5,114,000 viewers and a 3.2 HH US rating. The final rating for ABC’s noon coverage of Texas defeating Oklahoma – which garnered the highest overnight rating of all games – will be available on Thursday and is expected to take the top spot.

Honestly the SEC should not stop at 16 but instead go to 20 teams if able and make 4 pods of 5 teams. Add North Carolina, Duke, Virginia, Oklahoma, Texas, and either Oklahoma State (if forced to) or someone random like West Virginia or Florida State.

So the SEC should double up in four states (Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and Oklahoma) in order to balloon to 20 teams?
Why?
Why?

A better plan would be to apologize to Mexico for getting involved in their affairs, and give them back Texas. They've overrun it anyway, and we can save money in social programs.
frick Mexico.
You're laying blame on the innocent.
A better plan would be to go kick their asses and annex that entire nation as part of the U.S. Then, we can kick the shite out of those drug cartels with our military, exploit their labor force, make all those frickers pay taxes, and pilfer the frick out of the country's natural resources. Yeah, the social programs would go bankrupt, but they already are bankrupt. We're dying a slow death.
Another benefit is a more defensible border. The Guatemalan boarder is about one-forth the size of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Let's just rip that goddamn band-aid off and take that bitch over.

There's nothing you showed in those gifs that refutes my point in any way, shape, or form.
In fact, let's look at PAC 12 vs. SEC results over the last 5 seasons:
2014 - no matchups
2013
Auburn 31, Washington State 24
Oregon 59, Tennessee 14
2012
LSU 41, Washington 3
Missouri 24, Arizona State 20
2011
LSU 40, Oregon 27
2010
Oregon 48, Tennessee 13
Auburn 22, Oregon 19
So, aside from beating up on Tennessee, the PAC 12 is winless against SEC teams in the last 5 seasons.

Statistically speaking Tennessee would be an outlier. The Vols have been losing OOC games against every power conference, not just the Pac, for as long as I can remember.
On the other extreme, there's LSU, with the longest OOC regular season winning streak in college football history...49 straight. And LSU hasn't lost to a Pac whatever team since 1979...14 straight wins and counting.
Throw out those two teams, and two similar teams from the Pac...if there are any in the Pac with an OOC win streak similar to LSU's...and then compare.
That will be your true median.

That streak is misleading because it disregards bowls.

Negative, I would rather have Tulane back in for academics and so that Vandy would have a real rival team in which too face.

It's also the longest such streak in the history of college football. If it was so easy to do there would be more competition for it. There isn't.
LSU stands alone.
