Don't believe this is true. Oklahoma's president is the one leading the campaign for Big 12 expansion. They also aren't killing their two biggest Rivalries in Ok St and Texas. Oklahoma won't be joining the SEC anytime soon especially without Ok St.

Big12 expansion died the first go around with Houston, Memphis, Central Florida and others among consideration.
 
Florida would NEVER allow Miami or FSU just like Georgia and SC will NEVER allow Georgia Tech and Clemson.
IMO if the SEC expands it will be based on TV markets so I look for them to add a school that will bring in the D.C. TV market. It would be nice to add Miami for the South Florida TV market.

I know they would have fits but I'd like to do that too them!
 
It will almost be impossible for teams to leave their conference in the next decade because of Rights agreements. The SEC TV contract isn't up for quite a while. The earliest any power 5 conference contract is up is in 2023. The SEC/CBS contract isn't up till 2024 and the one with ESPN is up in 2034. The CFP contract isn't up till 2025 and no alignment will happen before then.T he next real change will be in 2 yrs when the 4 team CFP contract is up and that will expand. Just a matter of how much. 6-8 with 8 teams being the more likely. There's no way conference's add more conference championship games with more CFP games almost guaranteed to happen.

I don't see anyway OU joins the SEC unless Ok St and Texas do too. OU isn't gonna hurt their 2 biggest rivalry games. That would be like TN not being in a conf with Ala or Florida.

Texas has pizzed off that whole conference with their Longhorn Channel and not sharing revenue from it. aTm was one of their top 2 rivals and they ran them off.

Plus, SEC revenue is over $10 million more a year than Big12...even with the extra 4 teams.
 
John Adams will win a Pulitzer for journalism....

Lane Kiffin back as a head coach for an SEC team....

And, my not so bold prediction,

At some point this year, we'll hear someone say Coach Pruitt is working like heck...
 
Ah ok.. I've fallen behind on some of that stuff..The favoritism Texas and OU get will end up being the death of that conference before it's over with. Still don't ever see OU joining the SEC unless the Big 12 crashes. They have it made over there and a much easier path to the CFP. Really no excuse for either OU or Texas not to be in the CFP talks every year.

The big 12’s only hope outside of Ok/Tx going undefeated and getting in the playoffs is to somehow attract big name teams to flip conferences joining the big 12. Otherwise I see the big 12 slowly bleeding to death.

AZ State, behind the much maligned Herm Edwards, defeats the over-hyped Chip Kelly/UCLA Bruins.

Gus Malzahn is fired after AU finishes 7-5 losing to Washington, Bama, TN, A&M, and LSU.

is that really all that bold?:eek:lol: though i do think LSU is one that Aub does get. maybe trade LSU for MSU or Ole Miss?:)
 
This team is better what most people think. We go 9-3 this year. Chryst will be the starter. We will have a thousand yard wr this year with at least 10 td's. Shrout Red shirt this season. JG transfers in January 2019. IMO
 
UT goes 8-4

And even bolder for you, Bama goes 8-4 as well. Auburn and UGA rematch in the SEC, Auburn wins the SECCG this time around.

Playoff will be

1.USC
2.Auburn
3.Texas
4.Virginia Tech

Hokies win it all in historic fashion.

Well, that's certainly BOLD. So BOLD that I don't know where to start, so I won't!
