re: Oklahoma is not coming to the SEC

Your argument is similar to those made by Free Shoes and Tater fans who coast through the ACC season with few challenges then look good in the post season and crow about how well they would do in the SEC. Problem is they are not playing the SEC schedule and while they would still do well, an extra loss or two each and every season would not exactly be putting them in the same post season bowls they now enjoy.

None of this happens in a Vacuum, in fact OU added to a version of the SEC West would make it harder for all involved, OU, Alabama and LSU. But be clear, OU would be in the mix more often than not. But this rubs both ways, right now OU HAS to be perfect, but with eSECpn Hype they would get the benefit of the doubt with a few losses, justified or not.
All of this being said, it is going to be difficult for OU to go anywhere and keep its very lucrative relationship with Texas and avoid State Politics from a break with Okie Light. I agree with you that OU is on a collision course with disaster, trying to play both sides against the middle. It will be interesting to see if OU lands on its feet, I think it will, but it may be painful.
