I believe the SEC added OU and Texas primarily because of the upcoming playoff expansion and the game matchups attract more viewers/ratings when they are rated, or a blueblood, and SEC.
This is why an expansion is not only coming but I believe it will expand to 16 in the next couple of decades. 16 is a clean number and will enable the SEC to have 4 to 6 teams some years. The SEC appears like it will pay more than any other conference for the foreseeable future. The other conferences will have cross conference big games every year in an effort to catch up with the SEC.
The SEC made a deal with ESPN for weekday games decades ago which has proven to be a homerun deal. They have been trending up ever since.
