[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 812465, member: 2426"] I didn't pick a period to fit a narrative. I used the 9 years in the SEC vs the previous 9 years. Want to continue that back to the 60s? 77 (SEC) 58 74 85 59 46 25 So they did have ONE period of 9 years that was better than their time in the SEC. That was in the 90s. Historically, they have not been a regular top team. They were very good in the 90s. Other than that, they have been a good team with occasional very good years. All of the SEC hype crap just irritates me. I have a family member who is a mutt fan. She told me before A&M and Missouri joined the SEC that Texas and Oklahoma would be lucky to win 5 games a year if they moved to the SEC. Well, A&M was a second tier Big12 team and they haven't won fewer than 7 wins in a season and average 8.5. Missouri was a second-or-third tier Big12 team except for the last few years in the conference. They have won 5 or fewer 4 times, but average 7 wins. That same family member made remarks before Boise State vs mutts in 2011 that Boise was far over-ranked and that they were going to be shocked when the "find out what it is like to play an SEC team". When Missouri makes it to the SEC Championship game in their second season, she doesn't recollect every talking trash about the Big12. After Boise State whipped the mutts, she doesn't remember trashing Boise State, and only will discuss the great plays that the mutts had in that game. It is all trash talk. Those people actually believe it and argue those points very strongly. When their statements have some truth to it, they trash talk about how right they were and how much they know. When their statements turn out to be totally false, they say it was only hyperbole if they even remember saying them. So, with respect to whether joining the SEC will hurt the chances of Texas or Oklahoma getting to a national championship, it depends on what happens to the playoffs. If it remains a four team playoff, it probably will hurt their chances. However, it will also hurt the chances of Alabama, LSU, Florida, and the mutts. There will be more top-tier NCAA teams for Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, LSU, Florida, and the mutts to play every year.
