re: I doubt this happens but Finebaum did have really good point on Texas and OU to the SEC.

I dont think anyone cares if UT goes independent or not. Good luck trying to find teams to schedule. As with ND they play so many ACC games and have long agreements already in place with teams.

IF you go independent you will have to partially align with a FB conference to get enough games in.

Wonder if that’s a scenario we see play out - Tex doesn’t get the votes to get in- but, they go independent and align with SEC in some form or fashion.

I could see that happening. Texas has had a pretty good program in basketball, baseball and other sports, so I don’t think it’d be an issue being picked up by another conference if they didn’t pick us up in football and we went independent in that sport.

Conference champs every year! Take that Oklahoma!

I think Finebaum is correct regarding what he said. If Texas and Okla want out, and I absolutely think they do, if the SEC did not take them I believe the big 10 would scarf them both up because of what their football programs bring to the table.

The big 10 hates to admit it but they are playing second fiddle to the SEC, sometimes a distant second fiddle in relevance. To open up the state of Texas for more big 10 recruiting does no favors for the SEC.

BIG would gladly take Texas. OU - No.
