Scoff all you want at which sports it was. Six SEC trophies won so far in first year of competition.

According to their Wikipedia page, A&M has 33 total SEC titles since joining the conference in 2012. Over/under six years til Texas surpasses them in SEC trophies?

2024-25 titles:
Women’s soccer (tournament)
Women’s basketball (regular season)
Men’s swimming and diving
Women’s swimming and diving
Men’s tennis (regular season and tournament)

Shame we could only manage to be runners up in football and volleyball. Still in contention for baseball, softball, men’s golf, not to mention rowing.
Three titles in 20 years is phenomenal

The show is incredible
Mikey Madison was incredible and well deserved Oscar
I weep for the English language
That predictor is fun to mess around with, but pointless to rely upon.

There’s almost certainly going to be a serious SEC logjam at the top of the standings. It’s gonna be a mess and at least a couple teams are gonna feel burned.

Hate to see it…
1-0 Horns.

First SEC title in the trophy case!

re: Most parity we’ve seen in SEC?

Yes, I think there is more parity.

Combined with the high variance in schedule difficulty due to the eight game schedule and lack of divisions, and it makes things extra messy.

Don’t think we do. A three way tie between UGA/Texas/A&M would come down to combined winning percentage of conference opponents. That could break in our favor but likely wouldn’t.

Us getting to 7-1 doesn’t seem too likely either.

Edit: could be wrong actually, UGA would be placed first then our h2h would come into play,
Winner of UGA-Bama will probably jump up to #1, or at least get very close.

There should be fluidity in early season polls.

re: SEC Divisions - Yes or No?

I like no divisions but we’ll see how the tiebreakers shake out this year.

Going to nine conference games will be better.
Going to Michigan and A&M (been before).

Will do Athens next year.
Texas competes in 21 sports.

2 National Championships
5 NCAA Top-2 finishes
7 NCAA Top-3s
8 NCAA Top-5s
12 NCAA Top-10s
15 Big 12 Championships

Seriously. A relic of a previous era. Give us our full screen.

It would help if you listed the 13 titles so we knew which ones to laugh at.


It's now 14 titles over 13 sports:

Football

Volleyball
Women's basketball (tourney)
Men's swimming and diving
Women's swimming and diving
Women's indoor track and field
Men's tennis (reg. season and tourney)
Men's golf
Women's golf
Softball (reg. season)

Edit as of 5/11:
Women’s outdoor track and field
Men’s outdoor track and field
The media’s laziness does not prove your point. The big 12 rules official was asked during media days if Horns down was taunting, and he answered yes. That’s it. No wording was ever added or changed in the rules. If it was, you’d be able to find it in the rulebook.
