Yeah, playing UH, Rice, SMU each year and having a total of one non-Texas opponent (Arkansas) is a non starter. Throw Baylor, TCU and Tech in there too, as they are traditionally small to medium sized programs that throughout their history are more often bad at football than good at it...Nostalgia is the only thing to miss about the SWC, to this day its why there is this media generated narrative that Texas schools not playing one another is a crying shame. No other state gets that kind of pressure and expectation. The Cal schools in the Pac are the next closest I guess, but it would be like expecting UF, FSU, Miami, South Florida and Central Florida to play each year. Just not practical, nor something today's fans even really want to see (outside of the big 3 playing each other maybe).
