Houston Chronicle says it's in the works.
Texas and Zero U. to the SEC?
- Thread starter 9and4
- Start date
Can I get a roll call of all the HOL members who have been pining for the Big 12 lately? We'd be left holding our dorks like the rest of the conference if the Red River circle jerk jumps ship.
I get the attraction but this would surprise me with the expansion of the College Football Playoff on the horizon.
Why would Texas and Oklahoma take a guaranteed trip to the CFP and throw it away to finish 3rd in a division and end up I. Orlando playing in the Outback Bowl rather than the Sugar?
Now if there are other dominoes to fall where the Big Ten, ACC and PAC were on the verge of adding 2 teams then I could see it.

If it happens, who are your first two invites if you're the Big Ten? I'd go Notre Dame and Kansas.
Alabama
Texas A&M
Auburn
LSU
Mississippi
Mississippi St
Arkansas
Texas
Oklahoma
someone would have to move to the East. Which one? Move Vandy to the west and send Miss and Miss St to the East or Alabama and Auburn?
too many questions!! Still would be a bit surprised.

Missouri to the West, Alabama schools to the East, only one crossover game, probably a few protected rivalries, but not necessary.

ND would be the obvious holy grail for the b1g since they've been courting and flirting with them forever. Not sure if ND would bite. They might feel like they have enough clout as an independent to throw their weight and lift their skirt high enough to be attractive to overlook.
KU would make sense. KC market and good academic and BB. Will that be enough??
Brutal if fact for K-State and the rest of the B12. KU and ISU are both AAU and thus candidates for the B10, I suppose. My gosh, I thought we were beyond this. The strategy escapes me. Both want to take Nebraska's pathway to meh, evidently.
Oh my god, dorks! I think the movie Porky's was the first time I heard the term dork in reference to a dong! LOVE IT
I forgot about Missouri because @John_J_Rambo has convinced me they are crap.
What would Nebraska's projected finish be in that division? 🤔
Let's do something revolutionary and call one division leaders and the other legends. That would be great 🙂😉
The Dr. Pepper Division and the CoCola Division.
Yikes, If I'm in the BIG 12 and not Texas and OU i'm freaking right now
for sure the top 2 teams in each SEC division will make it and probably top 3 in each division ... the tv contract would be off the rails
I’m not going to lie, I would rather both of those schools are in a league that does not include Nebraska. There probably is not two schools that the Big Ten could add that would reduce the chances of Nebraska winning a division more than those two.
Here's how it's gonna shake out by the time the 12-team playoff goes down:
| SEC West | SEC East | Big Ten East | Big Ten West | ACC North | ACC South | Pac 16 West | Pac 16 East | MWC | ||||
| Texas | Alabama | Maryland | Illinois | Boston College | Miami | Washington | Utah | Kansas State | ||||
| Oklahoma | Auburn | Rutgers | Northwestern | Syracuse | Florida State | Washington St. | Colorado | |||||
| Texas A&M | Tennessee | Ohio State | Wisconsin | Pittsburgh | Georgia Tech | Oregon | Arizona | |||||
| Missouri | Kentucky | Penn State | Minnesota | West Virginia | Clemson | Oregon State | Arizona State | |||||
| Arkansas | Vanderbilt | Michigan | Iowa | Louisville | North Carolina | California | Texas Tech | |||||
| LSU | South Carolina | Michigan State | Nebraska | Notre Dame | NC State | Stanford | Baylor | |||||
| Mississippi | Georgia | Purdue | Iowa State | Virginia | Wake Forest | UCLA | TCU | |||||
| Mississippi St. | Florida | Indiana | Kansas | Virginia Tech | Duke | USC | Oklahoma State |
Impossible, but nice try. The proposal calls for one conference champ from six leagues, the third place division runner up, or whatever you wanna call it, is going to have at least two losses, potentially three or four. They will get four teams, but not six
so your going to take a 2 loss PAC team over a 3 loss SEC team ? I hate the SEC but they will get in more than they should
It wont be Texas but you will have OU Bama Georgia Florida and a different random every year because the 6 at large go to the highest ranked and the SEC ALWAYS gets the benefit of the doubt
Never, and I mean never Trust the Whorns. The little b_tches of the Big 12 now wish they had supported Nebraska.
Yeah, I don't know how the Big Ten voting works but I am not sure if NW wants other private schools in the conference.
I do not believe either school has the stones to do it. I'm calling B.S.
Basketball money is huge, research how basketball money is distributed by the NCAA and you will change your tune
Kansas - I can see them in the B1G....Iowa State, eh just don't see it.
Kansas State - forget it
Oklahoma State - long shot, B1G ain't taking a SEC little brother
TCU Baylor Texas Tech - don't see it
West Virginia - probably best chance outside of Kansas
Notre Dame - I think B1G would ask, ND would say no thanks, we're good
