OU doesn't belong anywhere. Y'all signed the Big 12 GOR and now you have to live with it.

OU is 4-0 vs SEC since 2013 WITH the Big 12 defense.
2017 #7 Oklahoma (10-2, 9-0) beat #17 Auburn (8-4, 5-3) | OU win expected
2016 #4 Oklahoma (11-1, 8-1) beat #23 Tennessee (8-4, 5-3) | OU win expected
2015 #18 Oklahoma (8-4, 5-4) beat NR Tennessee (7-5, 3-5) | OU win expected
2014 #6 Oklahoma (10-2, 7-2) beat #3 Alabama (11-1, 7-1) | OU win not unexpected
Iron Bowl loss that year took the steam out of the Tide (the infamous "Kick Six" game)
2013 #12 Oklahoma (10-2, 8-1) lost to #10 Texas A&M (10-2, 6-2) | OU win not expected but beaten badly
Before that you have to back to the 2008 season and the loss to Florida

Not sure this argument holds water. While I will give the Sooners full credit for being a legit football team and having a history of scheduling well for non conference games I do not agree they would suddenly be the SEC leaders if they were in conference.
Your argument is similar to those made by Free Shoes and Tater fans who coast through the ACC season with few challenges then look good in the post season and crow about how well they would do in the SEC. Problem is they are not playing the SEC schedule and while they would still do well, an extra loss or two each and every season would not exactly be putting them in the same post season bowls they now enjoy.
Imagine this is your SEC schedule
Game 01 = Marquee season opener in Chick Fil A, JerryWorld, Houston, etc
Game 02 = G5 game (probably a Texas school)
Game 03 = SEC East game
Game 04 = Texas A&M
Game 05 = Alabama
Game 06 = Auburn
Game 07 = LSU
Game 08 = State
Game 09 = Ole Miss
Game 10 = Arkansas
Game 11 = Bedlam
Game 12 = Red River Shootout
You could move RRR Shootout to a season opening game, replace Game 11 with an FCS school, and put Bedlam at the end, but not much easier than that.

The legit argument has been made. The question is if you are a reasonable fan of football or are to filled with Sooner KoolAid to accept the reality presented. It is like all the B1G folks who frequent this site and never admit how easy most B1G regular season schedules are. Like this year the bowls help set the narrative straight. SEC (especially "the six") are still winning most of their bowls and the CC has done well lately. They have probably moved to the #2 spot once Nebraska sent the B12 into a tailspin.

A&M got swept by the Mississippi schools this year. Ya know, the two schools that finished last in the division. Seems to me A&M has the most to lose if OU comes to the SEC -- it'll be another automatic L for aggy.

CWS titles: OU 2 - Aggy 0
CFB titles: OU 7 - Aggy 1
Men's Hoops: OU 5 FF - Aggy 0
The only recognizable championship Aggy has is women's hoops. Now, GTFO!
77-0 > 41-13

I have already stated it, but word is right now the SEC will go to 16 teams, as will all the major conferences. OU and OSU are the initial targets of the SEC. ACC teams are not an option. The buy out is too large, and there really isn't anything the SEC can offer. Sauces.

None of this happens in a Vacuum, in fact OU added to a version of the SEC West would make it harder for all involved, OU, Alabama and LSU. But be clear, OU would be in the mix more often than not. But this rubs both ways, right now OU HAS to be perfect, but with eSECpn Hype they would get the benefit of the doubt with a few losses, justified or not.
All of this being said, it is going to be difficult for OU to go anywhere and keep its very lucrative relationship with Texas and avoid State Politics from a break with Okie Light. I agree with you that OU is on a collision course with disaster, trying to play both sides against the middle. It will be interesting to see if OU lands on its feet, I think it will, but it may be painful.

OU's rivals aren't in the SEC. If Big 12 breaks up, i'd be fine with OU being in any major conference. To me the BIg 10 seems to be the best fit and then the SEC. I'd like to see OU play Nebraska every year again. I think OU and UT will continue to play at the fair for a long time regardless of conference affiliation. I do hope OSU remains in the same conference as OU for both the rivalry and quite frankly they have good athletic programs. Much more decorated than A&M for sure...
For original poster, why do you even care? OU and A&M aren't historical rivals. I do hope OU meets A&M in a postseason game. I think OU fans will be pleased when the matchup comes around again.

51-7 in Norman (20 years ago) < 7 straight wins aggregate score 345-133, in fact Stoops made aggy his personal bitch 11 out of 14 years. The real reason Aggy wants no part of OU in the SEC west.

Even Oklahoma State might be considered better than A&M.
Team National Championships Ranking:
Oklahoma State University
Total team national championships: 51
Mens national championships: 51
Womens national championships: 0
Coed national championships: 0
Overall Rank: 4
Sorry couldn't find A&M's ranking....it only listed the top 38 schools.
