re: "Texas is back!".... yeah, right....proof A&M's admission to the SEC has castrated UT

Now compare the two conferences. They would be a .500 team in the SEC west.

So if Texas was in the west instead of A&M. I feel Texas could handle the Miss schools and arky. Miss state and Arky are two of the worst FBS teams in any conference this year. Auburn would be slightly favored so I will count them as a loss. We know Bama and LSU are losses. If Texas drew Vandy, Kentucky, Tenner, Mizzou or SCAR they would be heavily favored, all of those teams are having down years. Also if they were just moved to the west they would get a few years of only cupcake out of conference scheduling, just like A&M did. The SEC gets an extra cupcake in November compared to Big 12 so thats a major help.
So, cupcakes plus the 3 bad west schools is already 7 wins, if they draw easy east schools thats already 9 wins, we know they could be competitive with UGA so its not like theres an auto loss in the East even if they did get unlucky. Win a bowl game and they finish 10-3.

When you really look at the numbers, having 4 out of conference games really makes it a lot easier for mediocre teams to get an "impressive" record
