[QUOTE="Techster, post: 812440, member: 360"] I think you've proven my point. We're talking about Texas and OU...two teams that expect to be in conference championships and the college playoffs every year. Can teams do well periodically in the SEC? Of course. You think Texas and OU will be happy with 8-9 wins in the SEC with an occasional year they win 11 games but miss out on the playoffs like what TX A&M did (and TX A&M hasn't replicated that success since their first year in 2012 with Johnny Football)? Kevin Sumlin was winning 8-9 games and his player won the Heisman while playing in the SEC...and he got fired. That's what gets coaches fired at those schools...See Tom Herman who had a 64% win percentage at Texas and they just let him go. Texas A&M was middling? You may want to go check out what they did with RC Slocum before they ran into a series of coaches who couldn't meet their expectations...which goes to my point. We're not talking about just any school...we're talking about 2 programs that are considered college football blue bloods and fan bases expect them to be the big fish no matter what pond they're in. I think OU has a good chance of being the better of the 2 in the SEC, because of what their HC does, and I expect that offense to continue having success...but if OU is putting up big numbers and not winning SEC championships, he's gonna go the way of Mike Leach. No one is saying other teams can't do well. Doing well of for a school like Missouri is different than doing well for a school like Texas and OU. Expectations are completely diffferent. [/QUOTE]
