Play each (3) in your POD every season.
Rotate playing 2 from every other POD yearly (or every two years?).
That’s 9 conference games.
Prolly best to take the Top 2 teams by conference records to play in the CCG (break ties by CFP ranking???)

Would you rotate out of pod games yearly or bi-yearly?

A wagon is not a mascot it is for little kids to ride in and pull stuff around. Now before it really wasn’t any of our business so we just politely laughed behind your back but if you join the conference then that toddler carrier reflects back on us and that’s not acceptable.

Fortunately it will be a while until you officially join so there is time to come up with something different and implement, just make sure it is appropriate and not embarrassing.

Thank you

This coming from a team who is the Tigers and their mascot is an eagle.:headscratch:

The issue is Texas always threaten to leave the Big12 when they didn't get their way. If they try that with the SEC, people will laugh at them.

I'm probably being provincial but the school I'm most concerned about not being harmed is Oklahoma State. They've done everything right but just had the misfortune of being in the same state as OU. WVU will be fine. And fuck Kansas; they're a one trick pony who has mooched off the conference for way too long. Some other schools have done a good job of trying to improve (TCU, for example) but Baylor is despicable. Iowa State has done a great job of improving its football program, etc. But Oklahoma State has pretty much done everything right across the board and they may be in a real bind. That does suck.

I feel bad for Oklahoma State as well. I am hoping they could land in a league like the Pac12. I have several co-workers and friends that are Cowboys fans and they are a class act.

Hot dang! Baylor needs a new legal defense team

From what I am told, the payout for the first year TV contract for OU and Texas will be greater than the buy-out fee.

You will still be in the Big12 next season, it will be 2022. I am not sure what Texas has in their arsenal or their schedule. However, you guys could still easily go 7-5 or 8-4 in your first season. I don't see Texas doing better unless they dodge some of the big names. Oklahoma has a great chance to be as high as #2 in the SEC after Alabama or even overtake Alabama if Alabama has a lot of injuries. Oklahoma (especially if the new recruiting class and defense adjustments pan out) could be a real force from what I am hearing. Granted we have heard that in the past.

Maybe we should become the Tigers.
That would be original.

Auburn cannot even make up their mind regarding their mascot. They are War Eagles, Tigers, and Plainsmen so go figure. Get ready for the obnoxious fans as well. Wait to you go to Baton Rouge (yuck). It might take a few matchups before it gets personal though.

Or when Saban retires.

Those are gonna be some awful big shoes for someone to fill. The pressure to continue Saban's success will be unimaginable.

I am talking about in the next two years.

If Oklahoma was playing in the SEC in 2021, this is how I see it.

Oklahoma is definitely better than the following teams: Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss State, Tennessee, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Missouri, Auburn (I think they will be down this year)

Oklahoma is likely better than the following teams: LSU (big question mark about this team right now, they could be great) and Florida

This leaves three contenders in the SEC that may or may not be better than Oklahoma

Texas A&M: A&M just brought in a massive new class, has a National Title winning coach, and is coming off a 10-1 #4 ranking season. A&M has a history of folding when you think they will be good or choking/underachieving. If this team leaves up to hype, they are better than Oklahoma or at least on par.

Georgia: Georgia has more talent than Oklahoma but really struggles in big games on the offensive side of the ball. I think this one would be a toss-up but I am leaning towards Oklahoma if they played in a very close game.

Alabama: I do think Alabama is better than Oklahoma and would beat them.

Based on this information, Oklahoma is at worse #4 in the SEC and at best #2. I think that is about where they fit into the picture.

I think this means Texas A&M is cool with it.

More like they accepted it after seeing that all 13 of the other SEC institutes were onboard with the move. Texas A&M will get its rivalry back with Texas and that will be good for college football. Also A&M will still be able to recruit very well being that it is one of only two Texas teams in the SEC and possibly only one of two Texas teams in a Power 5 league. SEC now owns the state of Texas with this move. Heck, even Oklahoma is kind of a Texas team from a recruiting perspective so you just locked down the three biggest brands in that state into your league.
