When this news first broke the guys on Austin radio were saying.....Texas can't even win the Big 12 so how in the world are they going to win the SEC. I agreed with them. I also dont think they will get destroyed.

      I think when we all get out of character, we can all agree with this.

      The hard reality is Saban has a machine and you have to play him on your home field and hope they play their worst game in a long time. Until that happens, it’s going to be hard for any team to steam roll in the SEC.

          10-2 with a new QB and coaching staff? C’mon man, I thought you said you were being a realist?

            I could easily see them going 10-2. That said there is an equal change they go 7-5. Neither would suprise me. I think 8-4 or 9-3 are where they end up.

              Vegas agrees with his statement.

                Look at the schedule. Lol.

                Truth be told none of us know what to expect due to what you said. I also think pre season record predictions are dumb. That and I was playing stupid games with C3po.

                  So they both have officially been invited to join the SEC as of yesterday, correct?

                    I haven't weighed in on this thread in the last few weeks as life has been busy and quite frankly the speculation and smack talking was a little ridiculous at times. My thoughts below.

                    Congrats to Texas and OU for inclusion in the SEC. While early on I wasn't a fan of the idea, I am happy to have the UT rivalry game back. From a financial stand point, this is a no brainer for UT and OU as well as the remaining SEC teams. Is it good for college football? Likely not but only time will tell. It is a shame Bowlsby's lack of leadership has caused the demise of the Big 12. We (Aggies) new this 10 years ago when we left for greener pastures. I just hate to see the likes of TCU, Tech, and OSU left without a home. But kudos to UT and OU for working this behind the scenes and keeping this on the down low. It's amazing this didn't leak sooner.

                    As for competitiveness in football, time will tell. OU clearly makes their path to the playoffs much harder by entering the SEC. Texas to some extent as well. This is a line of scrimmage league and the closest thing to the NFL in all of collegiate conferences. You have to build depth on the OL and DL to be effective. Beating a SEC team from time to time (like in a bowl game) is clearly not the same as running the weekly gauntlet from October until December. I will let you all argue how effective you
                    may or may not be in the SEC because in reality, nobody knows.

                    Like I said, I look forward to the rivalry game with UT. College football is better with that game. I am confident in the direction of our program with Jimbo at the helm. He is a master recruiter and has us moving in the right direction. If Sark is the right guy, things are gonna get real fun real quick. Once again, congrats to UT and OU.

                      Correct 14-0 vote. They will be in the conference by 2025.

                        Good post, sir.

                        Only issue is the SEC "gauntlet" myth has been exposed. I'm betting Texas gets a favorable schedule the first couple of years.

                          Good take. I was waiting for you to chime in. I am curious if you see the league going away from the LOS as in years past with all the new offensive minds in the game that like to run the spread and go fast. The guys up front are always important, but if the ball is out of the hand in less than 2.5 seconds and teams are running 90 plays a game, I can see having those traditionally SEC type linemen not be as important.

                          I will take great OL / DL over subpar any day, but don't you think teams will be able to compete better with subpar OL / DL than they have in the past based on the new offenses in the league? Everybody wants those LOS guys, but there are not enough to go around it seems.

                              BOB was saying vs the A&M 2021 schedule. The only team Texas would not be a favorite on that schedule is Bama.

                              I think most people have Texas at 9-3 with losses to OU, Iowa State, and probably TCU. You know Patterson will make sure he wins his Super Bowl this year. I would be happy with 9-3 in year one.
