I think the real issue is that the schedule never lets up in the SEC, ask the Aggies how they are enjoying their time. Even the unranked teams are no sure wins, half the schedule is always against ranked teams, every week is a showdown which is why the SEC champ usually has the best shot at the Nat'l championship. I am sure Texas and OU want to play in the SEC better competition, more money and prestige.. but its a game of attrition in the SEC. Auburn hasn't really even gotten into the meat of their schedule which was rated 2nd toughest in the country behind Arkansas. #2 Georgia #13 Arkansas #17 Ole Miss Texas A&M MS State South Carolina #1 Alabama
