The entire point of playign games is to win the most amount of them that you can. I mean no one would argue that, rihgt? So logically, it amkes no sense to make things harder on yourself and MORE difficult to win as many games as you can.
For OU to conceivably have a schedule one year where they play Texas, Bama, UGA, LSU, UF, etc. all in the same season is absolute lunacy from a competitive standpoint. Sure there's tons of money involved. Sure it's fun for TV networks and fans. But rationally speaking it's making your ultimate objective that much harder.
So why doesn't UGA switch to the ACC? If the whole point is winning games, you all for sure would win more over the next decade in that conference.
I would love to have the original Big 12 conference back--that set up was a ton of fun. I'd love for all the conferences to go back to what they were in the 2000s. Unfortunately, other conferences, including the SEC, took a large chunk of the Big 12 away. OU tried to salvage what was left as best as we could but it's simply not worth staying in at this point.
Unless we turn into Vanderbilt, I will not regret the move. And I don't think that will happen.

I’m sure you and a lot of the SEC would love it if UGA did move to the ACC. Well, it ain’t happening. Georgia is a charter member of the best conference in the land and we aren’t going anywhere. We like it here. Playing the best teams in the country. And in case you’ve been trapped in a cave or were unable to pay your cable bill we are doing quite well. You might as well get use to it. We are here. We are definitely staying here. And things are really looking good for us.

All I see here is one screenshot post from one dipshit and people reacting to it as if it's a collective sentiment. And not one of the twitter replies to the message board geniuses screenshot were OU fans. Texsa fan, Vol fan, Pitt writer, Boise State fan.
Laughable!

This poor fellow looks like he just got hit by a UGA linebacker. Really did an incredible amount of brain damage.

I know stuff, and I know people. Apparently advisers are telling applicants that specifying a gender could limit admittance into desired programs.
To be fair, this may be going on at many other more extremely liberal colleges similar to Texas as well for the same reason

Here's something funny about Austin not being a "cultural fit."
Drive 3 hours north from Austin and you're in Fort Worth.
Drive 3 hours north from Knoxville and you're in freaking Cincinatti. Eating chili in your spaghetti. That's kinda embarrassing that ya'll agree to live that close to the chili-spaghetti crowd. Wow.

TBH, I thought Riley was right. Same for FSU and Clemson. What interest do they have here knowing they have an easy path to the playoffs where they are? Things will change again as shite expands but teams will still suffer the grind of a season and that puts so much more pressure on getting elite depth to make it through the season AND the playoffs in one piece and that's something very few teams have. AND even when you have it you still need a whole lot of luck to go your way.

They're no longer going to be able to beat around less talented teams each year. All 8 teams they left behind struggled to crack the top 25 recruiting rankings each year.

You are looking outside but if you look in it makes all SEC teams schedules equally as hard. You forget we have made playoffs but woth only one side of ball good. Thats changing and it will be hard for OU but likewise for the other SEC teams. If OU couldn’t win with just offense and the D players went to SEC, then its logical to go to SEC to get those D players as well.
All SEC teams will have more losses but the conf will get 3 or 4 teams in playoffs each year too.

From comments here and elsewhere, most OU fans have been pretty excited about the move.
The thing that gets you in SEC is not necessarily the blockbuster matchups it’s the grind. everybody gets a brutal 3-4 game stretch of mostly road games. You won’t see that until they designate the timing of road/home games.
You’ll get sky high for the marquis matchups but can easily get tripped up on consecutive road games sandwiched in between. Night games at places like SC and Starkville can get surprisingly hostile with a natural let-down after a few weeks of LSU, Bama type games.
You probably won’t laugh as derisively about how we schedule a D2 breather in Nov.

I'm excited about our move and I know most OU fans are. We have an exciting schedule to play next year and with that old saying Iron sharpens Iron there's no better conference to be in than the SEC

One of those BIG XII teams that never cracks the top 25 in recruiting has twice as many playoff appearances and playoff wins as aggie, fig.

He’s not the majority. I’m excited. I’ve wanted this for years. If that means a few under 10 win seasons to start, then so be it. OU is in. Time to have more fun!
