So, for mere speculation and fun, what is everyone's opinion as to how OSU Cowboy football would do in the SEC competitive environment?
We all are very aware of how well the programs that left the Big 12 are doing in other conferences like the PAC 12. Big 10 and SEC -- and that's not very well for the most part.
But of all of these teams, none of them were tearing up the Big 12 when they left.
What ticks me off is that we were starting to beat Nebraska on a regular basis. After 45 years (and no wins while I was at OSU), we started to beat the Huskers. Man, that was fun. So what do they do? They take their ball and go home. They still haven't brought that program back to their glory days of the Big 8 when the winner of the ou-Nebraska game usually went to play for the National Championship.
It's still kinda fun to watch the Cornhuskers lose. I do like their fans, but I wish we were playing them again. We could use the wins.
CU, Mizzou, aTm -- all mediocre programs with brief, very brief winning programs.
So, we've had some great wins and some ugly losses to SEC teams. I think our program would finish in the top 3-4 most years. Of course, our recruiting would improve simply by being an SEC team, but beating Bama is everyone's problem. Although, it's a fact that the last time we played Bama we won.
We've also shown we can beat UGA while at the same time get pounded by Ole Miss.
I think we could still beat aTm most of the time.Same with Mizzou, South Carolina and Vandy.
LSU, Arkansas, MissSt, Florida would be tough to beat all of the time.
Where do you guys think we'd do in the SEC on a regular basis?
