1. Arkansas - absolutely felt like a SWC school. That has largely worn off, and they've earned their stripes.
2. South Carolina - For the life of me, I can't figure them out. They are an ACC-lite school (meaning, they pale in comparison to your overt ACC schools - Virginia, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Duke (basically, any school that values lacrosse and basketball over football and baseball)). I don't hate having them here, but for whatever reason, I still think Clemson is a better "cultural fit" for the SEC.
3. Missouri - good riddance
4. A&M - gay
5. Oklahoma - for whatever reason, I think they'll work out. They are bar none the best football school of the bunch.
6. Texas - would have been a good fit 25, 30 years ago. Texas fans (and Austin) has changed, and not for the better.

Spend a little bit of time on those weirdos' message board and I promise you'll change your mind. I did when we played them for the natty. They are a strange breed.

For good reason. We were.
Probably a better description is that most the deep south is in the orbital pull of Atlanta. Arkansas isn't.
Dallas is where Arkansas people went to "the big city" to go shopping, most Arkansas people are Dallas Cowboys fans, (with the Chiefs being a distant second).
The most significant OOS student and alumni state has always been Texas, and nobody else is a close second. That only gets more true as DFW explodes in population.

One of the worst summaries I've read on here and that's saying something.
