OU will be fine.

They don't have in-state talent like Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida etc. Honestly the SEC should be careful with Oklahoma because they can gain a foothold in states they don't always recruit from.

OU has been heavy in the West and in Texas. They'll always figure out how to be solid on offense but now they can get some southern brehs for defense.

Texas has the tools but they have always had too many cooks in the kitchen.
OU recruits the Southern states well

So is it official? UT is a scumbag program. Who's gonna run the big12 now that they're gone?

Big 12 is dead once OU & Texas leave

West Virginia reaching out to the ACC, Kansas & Iowa State reaching out to the Big Ten

Oklahoma State & Texas Tech I imagine would be Pac-12 bound, the other schools? :yeshrug:

Based on them being in the SEC? Yeah we are about to negate that advantage. Outside of that I don't see how they are a better program.
They’re not just Better than y’all cuz they’re in the SEC, they’re better than y’all cuz they run their football program better. Baylor has way less resources and they passed y’all up too

This is a lazy take. First off I think Baylor has only beat us once in the last 5 years or so. And even at our lowest they couldn't beat us. A&M only appears to be a better program because they are in the SEC, and despite all their chest beating they have actively avoided playing us and got the SEC to bid them out of the Texas bowl match up against Texas. They know they are about to get exposed as not actually being the better program which is why they are fighting against this as much as they are. A&M was a better team in the SEC when they were still essentially a Big 12 team, other than that they have been the same mediocre team in the SEC as they were in the Big 12.

That’s the main part right there. TCU will “deliver” the DFW. Baylor delivers you a small town on the Brazos. Advantage TCU.
ACC doesn't care about markets. All it cares about is success and academics. It's all about being blue bloods or you damn sure better be successful. Baylor is both.

Right now if you line up and play, I believe Texas A&M wins. That's just what it is. :yeshrug: I believe their defense will help get them over the top. 10 point win at least.

A&M's defense is a run stopping defense and they struggle against good QB play. Only reason they survive in the SEC is good QB play is hard to find in the league. We have a stud at running back, a spread offense and our current coach had no issues with A&Ms defense as an OC. On offense they are likely starting a RS Freshman QB, as Mond is gone, and a group of receivers that doesn't scare anyone. You stop the run and cover the TE and you beat Jimbo's archaic offense. Texas wins by at least 14 IMO. That A&M team is not good.

:mjlol:

We are talking about Texas A&M against Texas.

We'll get to see it in HD pretty soon. But before you play them you get LSU, and Auburn:mjlit:, and Oklahoma, and Florida, maybe Georgia/Alabama. :mjgrin: Come on son. Welcome to the SEC.

Texas A&M would have passed y’all even if they stayed in the Big 12, their 1st year in the SEC was the Johnny Football won the heisman and they won 11 games, y’all haven’t accomplished anything close to that in the last 10 season.

And how is that a lazy take? Since 2011 Baylor has 5 season with 10+ win while Texas has 1, Texas is 73-53 while Baylor 78-48 in that span, Baylor has won the Big 12 twice while Texas has none, Baylor’s also had a heisman winner in 2011 while Texas had none in that span, and Texas also hasn’t produced shyt in the pros.
