Yes, but consider this. aTm was NOT consulted on Texas/OU, and people DO forget that aTm is "the new kid on the block" in the SEC (which is part of what made it "okay" for Saban to criticize aTm). However, the SEC is not going to go against charter member Florida by inviting Miami and/or F$U...

Gonna need a MAAAAAAJOR attitude adjustment from the Gaytors...

Minor correction, it was the AFL back then. The AFL was a separate league. Didn't become the AFC until the two leagues merged. Other than that, agreed.

True. I would reference that old joke, the one about "paying a hooker to leave, not for the *** itself", and point out that Texas and Oklahoma paid a ton of money to get the fvck away from the Big 12...

Welllll...yes and no... The SEC is trying to make itself "too big to fail". Taking Texas and OU not only gives them a bigger footprint with more TV markets, it gives them 2 more teams that "might" could be good after Saban leaves Alabama. I don't know who will step up in the SEC, but they've...

It's one of those crazy things...I think the Big 12 has something similar (remember the game they pulled after Nebraska and Mizzou left) and yet...Texas and OU are leaving... Words are words. They are negotiable. Texas and OU paid a penalty and they are leaving, regardless of the grant of...

I would wager a guess that it would be more likely for the Big 10 to make us an offer. The Big 10 has loooooong had major cable carriage incentives for adding new states, and I'm sure they wouldn't mind adding the third LARGEST state (by population, in case that one nutty porster still thinks...

I agree. But much as the rest of college football marginalized the Rose Bowl, so too could we start to turn our backs on SEC "claims". Fugg 'em. Win it on the field, not on a t-shirt...

While I basically agree, the rest of the country has to back it up with ratings, i.e., turning off the SEC games. Until then, ESPN is still going to support "regional" football. Plus, it's a pretty big (and strong) region when you add in the University of Texas. I may hate the SEC, but they...

The ideal CFP Final 4 will be Miami-USC-SEC champ-Big 10 champ. Period. End of story. Ratings galore.

The SEC will not rest until they secure universities in North Carolina and Virginia, so that they can reunite the entire Confederacy and boast a conference map that makes it look like it's 1861 all over again...

I'm sure Nick Saban will come out with a long diatribe about how a conference championship tournament is bad for college football, because of the injury risk from athletes having to play extra games... Right? RIGHT???

More SEC games = More SEC losses. I hope the SEC Playoffs will have a Sweet 16 double-elimination format.

Hey, the SEC has a long, proud history of "claiming" national titles during time periods when not everyone was allowed to participate in the sport...
