Who is the most likely to step up and join the club?
Good question. We have a shot..but so does missou, oklahoma and a&m. Don't laugh. a&m will always have the money to pull in talent. If elko is the coach they think he is they will turn it around like we have. Missou was impressive last year and I have to think they have a shot as long as the coach remains.
As for Oklahoma...let's just say they have proven, to us especially, that they can never be ruled out. They just figure out how to win.
.....just thought I'd give everyone a break from the trolls with a serious answer. As long as kirby is at Georgia it'll be a tall order to win the conference...and bama will always be bama with or without saban.

I think Texas and Oklahoma will both win it within a decade.
And I'm more bullish on TAMU and Missouri than most. They've demonstrated a commitment to recruiting success in this new era. If they maintain that, I think they eventually both get it.

1. Texas $
2. Oklahoma: past success
3. Missouri: this is the year, but will they do it before the coach leaves?
4. Texas A&M: $
5. South Carolina: most supportive fans, I’d like to see it!
6. Arkansas: $, but small in state talent pool
7. Heat death of the universe, potentially could happen
8. Vanderbilt

In 2015, Ole Miss beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Alabama went on to win the NC that year.

OU and Texas will easily make it before any others that haven't won it. Outside of those two I'm not sure what realistic chance South Carolina and Mizzou have and Arkie would be a long shot. Vandy has no chance in any year ever. that is one that will never happen.

The SEC has never added a team that has a history of excellence and commitment to winning in the past that would measure up to Oklahoma and the Shorthorn's history. These are the 2 best programs in the Old South West/Big 8/ Big 12 history. So it's not going out on a limb predicting success for the new two at this level.
The rant is a false barometer of the real level of anticipation and excitement for the brand-new minted SEC. It will keep the SEC as the absolute BEST conference in college football. The ESPN/ABC TV package is going to be the greatest show on turf.
Now let's all get back to the false barometer.

Texas
Missourri
Oklahoma
ATM
In that order. I think Tennessee wins one before all but maybe Texas. Mizzery is getting a lot of love and it ain't unfounded but I am taking a wait and see approach. Oklahoma could shock everyone and win it any given year but they got it to do to for me to buy in. ATM ought to be able to win one occasionally...again, ought to ought to mean something, it has not for most of ATMs existence.
Ole Miss, Auburn, LSU and Florida all could win one any given year. I add Ole Miss 'cause they are on the come in my opinion.
I think Texas is in the top 3-4 teams in the conference this year depending on how well Alabama adapts. Maybe top 2. UGA is the best team in the conference on paper but paper is only handy for wiping ones arse....

And here I was told the NCAA was powerless but apparently not since Texas has vacated that championship because it only shows up in the fevered mind of delusional Texas fans....

I can see that the shorthorns and the Cajuns have a lot in common.
I don't think so....Texas has NEVER played a schedule, week in and out, the likes of what they will face going forward. I know, I know, anyone outside the SEC fails to comprehend what difference it makes playing down teams like Florida and Vandy BUT even the dregs of the SEC have HUGE linemen and Lightning quick skill players 2 deep. Kansas and Texas Tech DO NOT. Not even close. It takes a toll week in and week out. No one is suggesting that SEC talent is infinitely more athletic than that found in the Big 12...its the same thing that Big 10 teams used to bitch about when someone mentioned SEC speed. You do not have to be 25% bigger and faster, 2% will do the trick over the course of a season....and Texas and Oklahoma have NEVER seen the athleticism 2 and 3 deep week in and week out that is in the SEC today. It takes a toll.

This season may prove otherwise but SEC coaching and prep is far better than the teams that OU and Texas are used to playing week in and week out....that makes a helluva difference. Sark is trending toward being an elite SEC Head Coach....time will tell but UGA, LSU, Alabama even with a new coach, Auburn, UT, UK, Ole Miss, Missouri and even South Carolina have EXCELLENT coaching staffs well versed in prepping teams to play in the SEC. Sark is aware but even he will be drinking from a fire hose for a few seasons....its a different game week in and week out.

Yep said that early in the season and I said at least 10 times on here that I was wrong about sark and admit it. Funny how some of you just can't let it go though.
Sark is the right guy to lead the program and I was wrong about him. Hopefully you can accept that and move on

It may be improved but it’s all relative. Missouri generally pulls in classes that rank in the bottom half of the conference. This hasn't changed, Missouri finished 20th last year and currently they are 26th in this year’s 247 rankings.
Texas, Alabama, UGA, LSU, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma consistently pull in top ten classes and Tennessee, Auburn and Florida also have that capability.
There's no indication Missouri is going to consistently out recruit these programs moving forward.

I don't think anyone here would argue anything other than historically, Mizzou has gotten smoked on the recruiting front. And obviously there is still some ground to make up to catch the top SEC programs. But there is no indication that Mizzou has stopped improving on the recruiting front either. And regardless, this thread isn't about whether Mizzou is more likely to out-recruit Georgia or LSU. My response was to the question about which SEC program that has not won the SEC is likely to get it done first.
I ranked Mizzou third behind OU and Texas, but ahead of Texas A&M. Mizzou and Texas A&M's 2024 and 2025 classes are pretty damn close. But they have a new coach coming in and lost a ton of talent to the portal. Mizzou is building off an 11-win season and NY6 bowl victory against Ohio State. We have probably the best WR core in college football, a stout o-line, and a seasoned QB. It's really a matter of whether the defense can reload after losing a lot of talent to the NFL draft.

Texas is my pick to win it this year.
I would expect both Texas and Oklahoma to win an SEC Title sometime in the next decade.
I think A&M has the resources, so they’ll get one eventually.
I don’t see any of those others ever getting there.
