Is it that hard to win 11 games in the Big12? I mean there are SEC teams with more draft picks than the entire conference

Aggots had a lot more draft picks than KSU and KSU made Garrett, the supposed #1 draft pick, a non factor. What happened?

Right because Bama v OU wasn't a big game. They looked ready to play, scoring first. I guess Saban told them to take night off because not a national title game. That sound real accurate bayou. Given that you guys haven't beaten Bama in years, this sounds like SEC sour grapes. Excuses

I'm pretty sure refusing to run to Garrett's side the entire game when he was on the field does not qualify as "making him a nonfactor".

Jealous?

Why would anyone be jealous of A&M or Bama when they comb thru history looking for national titles where they don't exist? It's not a good look

OU could claim 16 titles if it were prone to SEC math. But we don't because it'd kinda be bullshite to claim same. Just because some minor publication or selector names you national champion doesn't mean anyone else buys it.

Didn't Bryant say it only takes 1 to make a bumper sticker? That pretty much sums up the SEC methodology on this which is a joke.

Yet here you are, on an SEC Board white-knighting for OU. Not saying I wouldn't do the same, but there is a hint of jealousy involved, don't you think?

Texas could easily survive as an independent in football. A&M in the SEC can survive without them because they have plenty of good games on the schedule, but teams like Texas Tech and Baylor need Texas to have a big name team on their schedule. Plus Texas could easily find opponents because people want to see their team play Texas.

I will agree to disagree in the current world. I might have agreed in the era of IND's that held sway before the 90's realignment started the shift and the 2010 realignment ended it.

To be IND you need a truly national brand and only Notre Dame really has that. Even they will join before the next media deals are inked.

The world of IND football has gone extinct, sorta like the dinosaurs.

More population in their state, resulting in more money to the SEC than Oklahoma would bring.

Not as much as you'd think, and that's not even the biggest obstacle. It's hard for an independent to schedule games with major opponents once conference play begins. Even Notre Dame had to strike a deal with the ACC to play 5 or 6 games a year against ACC teams. Still, they've had to resort to playing games with teams like Nevada, UMass, Temple and Rice in recent years, despite having built-in traditional rivalries with USC, Stanford, Navy, and sometimes Michigan State and Michigan.

Texas has no traditional rivalries with teams that are not in their conference, and what conference is going to make a deal with Texas like the ACC made with Notre Dame?

They'd get some attractive games in the first few weeks of the season, but October and November would be very tough times for them to schedule decent games.

Texas would most likely be able to keep Texas tech, Baylor, and Ou on the schedule every year. They could probably get games with BYU and Notre Dame every year. I can see them getting some sort of deal done with the pac 12 to play some of their teams every year. Filling out the rest wouldn't be too rough. Their biggest hurdle like you said is getting that big name team to play against at the end of the year.

One whole game?

All you have to do is go 2-2 against the top 4 and win your bowl game and you have 11 wins a year.

bayou, you are desperately reaching. LSU can't even win right now period. LSU hasn't recovered since January 2012.

Your obsession with OU is noted, bayOU.
