They played Oklahoma close, but get blown out by every other power 5 school they play. Sounds like a good fit to me.

Why are there so many threads about Army and OU on the SEC Rant that don't relate to them playing an SEC team?

There is an appropriate board to place this thread. This isn't it.

Absolutely not. Why would the U.S. Military Academy associate themselves with a conference in which 7 of the 10 current members are academically inferior to them?

If Army joins a Power 5, it'll be the ACC, which is geographically and academically compatible.

Of course they'd get demolished in almost every sport at first which is why they won't.

Fun fact: Army is one of 3 Division 1 teams to NEVER make the NCAA Basketball tournament and the only FBS school never to make it.

They play too much defense at Army for the Big 12

They could obviously compete.

I think so, quickest path to the vaunted SEC for a mediocre team is via the B12.

Not sure about army but the Houston defense screams Big 12.
