I suppose it's possible, though unlikely, that OU and OSU would jump to the SEC also.  We could throw in Missouri as well and Auburn and bammer would both go to the East.  That would solve the rivalry game problem, but would also tilt the balance of power too far East, perhaps.  That would put five of the current "big schools" in the East.  OTOH, OU has about as much tradition as bammer and while Tamu has less than Auburn, they aren't slouches.

None of this is likely, but it sure is fun to speculate on.

OU isn't coming to the SEC.  They don't want to associate their renowned institution with such academically deficient schools (nevermind the fact that they outrank only 2 SEC schools academically).  They and their Siamese twin OSU are looking to go to the Pac 12.

I know that's been the latest talk.  I am just speculating.
