Oklahoma RETHINKING Leaving Expansion Big 12: Move to SEC is Early College Football Playoff Regret
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 май 2024
- Oklahoma's decision to leave the Big 12 Conference for the Southeastern Conference (SEC) was influenced by several factors:
Conference Stability: Oklahoma sought greater stability and long-term viability for its athletic programs. The Big 12 had experienced previous instability with schools departing for other conferences, raising concerns about the conference's future. Joining the SEC provided Oklahoma with a more secure and established conference environment.
Financial Considerations: The SEC offers lucrative financial opportunities, including lucrative television contracts, revenue-sharing models, and larger payouts from conference championships and bowl games. Oklahoma likely saw the move to the SEC as a means to increase its revenue and financial resources, which are essential for supporting its athletic programs and facilities.
Competitive Environment: The SEC is widely regarded as one of the most competitive conferences in college athletics, particularly in football. Joining the SEC would provide Oklahoma with the opportunity to compete against top-tier programs and enhance its national profile. The SEC's strong competition and prestigious reputation were likely appealing factors for Oklahoma's athletic program.
Geographic Expansion: Oklahoma's move to the SEC represented a geographic expansion for the conference, with the addition of a prominent program from the Big 12. This expansion allowed the SEC to further solidify its presence in the central United States and strengthen its overall footprint in college athletics.
Strategic Alignment: Oklahoma's values, priorities, and strategic goals may have aligned more closely with those of the SEC than with the Big 12. The move to the SEC may have provided Oklahoma with opportunities for collaboration, resource-sharing, and alignment with other member institutions.
Overall, Oklahoma's decision to leave the Big 12 for the SEC was driven by a combination of factors, including conference stability, financial considerations, competitive environment, geographic expansion, and strategic alignment. The move represented a significant shift in the college sports landscape and reflected Oklahoma's desire to position itself for success in the ever-evolving world of collegiate athletics.

OU regrets leaving the Big 12…. Said no OU fan ever
Oklahoma football is going to end up like Nebraska football. Watch.
@@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13
Nebraska never recruited like OU both the few years before or after their conference move. Nebraska was doing okay before they fired a coach who was consistently getting Nebraska in the B10 title picture.
Do you also speak negatively of the UCFs or Cincinnati’s of the world for leaving their conferences, or just OU? If so, you might need to check your bias. I’m amazed at how many people wish so badly that OU would fall to their demise.
@@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13 🤡
@@phillips3994 What I mostly speak negatively of is all the insatiable GREED that is driving this seemingly never-ending conference realignment 💩. What they ALL should do with all this money being passed around is provide more academic scholarships for the overall student body rather than lining the pockets of coaches and athletic department administrators. Why wasn’t this excessive conference hopping going on in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s? Sure there was occasionally some of it, but not that much. If RULES on NIL are not put in place to ensure COMPETITIVE BALANCE, only the schools with the wealthiest alumni will be able to legitimately compete.
Go play with your Barbies clown. 😂🤡@@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13
Nobody at OU is regretting moving to the SEC. Where did you get this from?
You will come November.
OU will win the SEC in their 1st year
The option is to stay in a conference with a cupcake schedule that plagued OU for years that will roughly stay pass-heavy to get blown out when facing teams like Georgia or Alabama. Or go to the SEC, learn to adapt to their game style with a demanding schedule, and earn their way to an SEC to a national championship. If OU or Texas does well in the SEC, what is the chance they will probably blow out a Big 12 team who won the conference because they outscored the other team? -Probably high. These folks need to understand the level of competition between the Big 12 and the SEC is immense. So they would rather have OU spinning the wheels of futility, taking the Big 12 championship only to lose to an SEC program in the playoffs year after year. The last time a Big 12 team went super far in the playoffs, they got the s--t beaten out of them in a blowout in the national championship with the most significant points differential in CFP history.
They don’t even know. Lol
Ex girlfriend syndrome lol 😂 acting like they are the best that you’ll ever have when you’ve already moved on and dating much better lol 😆
This is hilarious. NO ONE is rethinking leaving the Big12. But milk the last of the OU interactions Drake. Being worried about a tough schedule is something a Baylor fan would do.
No One!
This is abandoned B12 fans comforting one another. Pathetic, but laughable. 😂
Do you actually know any OU fans? Almost all of the ones I talk to are very excited and look forward to the tough schedule ahead. This feels out of touch.
It's clickbait to get OU fans over on this.l
You are correct!! I have NOT heard this report I think they are making something out of nothing!!
Man yall need to quit trying to anger our fanbase!! We are VERY passionate about football ...BV has set us up for success I'm sorry but we return 78% of our defense from last year...our offense has literally the best receiving corps in the nation....yall just trying to piss us off at this point....shit like this is why our fan base is misunderstood!!
@jenniferkristenpowell8228 I've been around OU football my entire life . I have family in the college football hall of fame from OU. They think the fan base and OU staff are scared to play great competition week in week out. Just a dumb take shows their ignorance to what a true blue blood is all about. BV was never a guy to come and flip it overnight he was a long-term change, the culture coach, which he has and is doing.
How about the defense that returned 83.7% 🤔😁🙄
You guys don’t speak for true OU fans. We’re excited and we have no fear. You do recall the we beat Texas last year? We’ve had 3 straight top 10 recruiting classes. We got this. Don’t cry tears for us or presume to speak on our behalf. We’ve beaten Alabama 3 of the last four times we played them. Tennessee, Florida, Auburn… beat em all. LSU has been our only struggle. We got this
I think Locked on Big 12 says it all😊
These 2 are just foolish!
You beat Alabama in a bowl game they did not show up for, y'all had bounced back and recaptured your season. Y'all were excited to be there. BAMA had just fell short of the title game. They felt the opposite. But credit to y'all, you showed up and deserved it. But the shit talking, especially Bob Stoops, afterward was uncalled for and foolish. Everyone knows if they met during the season Alabama would have rolled them. The ones before that game were back in '02 and '03 when y'all were at your tops and BAMA was at their bottom. Lol, feel good about that, I guess. Saying LSU has been your only struggle. Lol. You really think y'all have been ANYWHERE NEAR BAMA's level? Please don't say yes.
It’s two Baylor dorks grasping for content.
OU fan, moved to SC in the 90's. Ain't no way Sooners are going to be below gamecocks. These sec fans are thinking so are ridiculous here
You guys need to put the crack pipe down and move on to exciting programs in the Little 12
Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly
Thats just it. Since Oklahoma is gone there are no more exciting programs in the Big 12. They gotta keep our names in their mouth.
@@PatriotParty Lol please. Texas gets mentioned 10 times more than OU.
You need to worry about where you're going and show some class because you're acting like your somebody.
Bahaha, y"all are just pissed that you will not be able to fill your 40000 set stadiums once a year anymore!!! Byeeeee
I thought you were already gone? What are you doing hear? Bye
Ok, this might be hard to grasp. Yes, OU would make more CFP's if they remained in the Big12. But OU will have a better chance of winning the CFP by moving to the SEC. OU has been hampered in recruiting for years by being in the Big12, especially on the defensive side of the ball. OU will have a tougher time in the SEC but as a championship level program that is what they want. If it was easy everyone would be doing it. If OU remained in the Big12 they would get in the CFP almost every year, maybe win a 1st round game and then get beat in the 2nd by a team from the Big10 or SEC that was able to recruit better players because of the conference they were in. So as an OU fan, I would rather the team take their lumps but be stronger for it in the long run than having that false sense of hope from dominating a bunch of lesser schools year in and year out. I have seen that play out far too many times.
I'm a big 12 fan but that's definitely true
This is exactly what I’ve been saying. Between the recruiting bump OU has already experienced for a couple years followed by playing the SEC schedule, as fans we no longer have to worry about strolling into the playoffs just to get bullied around. We will certainly make fewer playoffs, but that’s not the goal anyways. Our odds of winning the playoffs is still higher, despite the lower odds of making it. I think most other fans have a hard time grasping this.
I could not agree more; Oklahoma can adapt, learn, recruit, and potentially become a powerhouse in the SEC. They will have growing pains, but they will get better; I have faith in them, and they will. These folks seem to think OU should continue to spin the wheels of the futility of winning with a cupcake schedule in the Big 12 and get beaten by an SEC or Big 10 team in the CFP year after year.
@@bigboy9661Oklahoma will win more championships in the sec. That's why they moved. Dumb ass.
I’m a Texas fan and I can say there’s not one OU fan that is regretting the move to the SEC even after they saw their schedule. I HATE OU but respect them enough to say they play some hard nosed football and don’t back down from any team. So this seems really out of touch. Hope for another great RRR . Hook’em
@@andrewjohnson5671 exactly! Texas and OU will make the games so much more exciting! They might not come in and dominant but you can bet every year either Texas or OU will be in the top 3 race in the SEC if not both of them! They will learn that Texas and OU aren’t teams you’re going to push around and dominate.
CLICK BAIT!
@@MikeyMike0007No they literally wont. Bama, LSU, Georgia, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Auburn and y'all just think you'll be top 3 every year? 😂😂😂 You dipshiitt OU and Texas fans are so delusional.
Too easy to bait fools.
@@ROUGHNECK75 how ?
👏👏👏 this is very impressive click bait to get traffic to your channel. You think The University of Oklahoma would make a decision about anything without thinking about how it would play out in the future? And then you say that's its mid May and they are worried about the schedule that came out in August of 2023? So you two are telling us that now in May of 2024 that they started to regret the move?! Fellas......
Nobody has ever regretted leaving the ridiculous Big 12.
Nebraska in a huge way. My belief is A&M has and won't admit it. Missouri had some years when hey got to Big 12 title game and national spotlight.
Baylor fan has dementia because his whole football life was built on beating Texas and losing to OU.
You might want to look again at the last 5 or 6 against Texas. They haven't been beating them much lately either. Also Texas is much more than just a football school
@@KDragg4 You might not want to assume I didn’t already know those things.
Ou is thrilled to be leaving the Big 12. Sorry. No amount of spin will change that.
So is Texas
@@richharvey8211 yes they are! OU and Texas about to take over the SEC
Yea because y'all havent played in the SEC yet. Come november you'll just wish you had more wins.
@@user-qb9fv3bf2d We’re ready. I love how many are overlooking us. We have elite talent and depth. Tough schedule. I guarantee you the teams on our schedule aren’t overlooking us.
@@user-qb9fv3bf2dMark it down! Ou or Texas will win the SEC in year 1
Jesus, such a bad take. OU fans are excited about the SEC and not a single one of us is telling Brent Venables “show me “
Also, that House in Massachusetts analogy wasn’t very good. It only works if while we “lived in Texas” and were getting paid Texas salary we were still trying to find a house in mass. Now we are living in Mass and getting paid a Mass salary while trying to get that same house; our recruiting is consistently the best it’s been in over a decade because we are heading to the SEC, and we are about to get about a 20mil bump in media earnings and likely a larger bump in revenue from increased fan interest in all these new exciting games week in and week out.
Also, the BIG 10 and BIG 12 were not the same before the realignment and would not be the same after realignment even if OU and Texas stayed. You could make that argument if you viewed the conferences over the last two years, but traditionally Big10 teams like Wisconsin and Penn St are better than teams like OSU and Kstate. And sorry, but adding in Utah, UCF, and BYU, which have the potential to be good football schools, it NOT the same as adding USC, Oregon, Washington. BIG10 would be WAY deeper at the top even if OU and Texas stayed
A bet when the dust clear OU gonna shut some folks up.....
No. They wont. This isnt the Little 12.
@user-qb9fv3bf2d And all the SEC teams that are overated every year that haven't won even a conference championship in the last 10-15 years, will get a taste of what the other 'little 12 teams' been chewing on for the last 24 years.....
Oh, and facts to chew on, only 4 SEC teams in the last 15 years have one a national title other than Alabama. And of those teams, only Georgia has won more than one. So, up until 3 years ago, the SEC was a one team conference. And don't even mention LSU, one hitter quitter, and done for a while.
@@dewittmathews2508 The means for Alabama to be so dominant, retired recently and the head coach is a offensive minded coach from out of conference school that belonged to a pass-heavy conference. So Georgia is the only power in the SEC, but that opens the door for someone like Texas and or Oklahoma to step up to the plate and fill that gap.
These guys are funny! When have you heard anyone important say they regret joining the SEC?
Everything OU has done in the past is streaming up. We still have to put the product on the field. So Drake and Cameron hold your breath before you just start saying OU Regrets going to the SEC
The only negative one I can think of right off is Barry Tramel.
@@stasonsteagall356Facts
Pretty sure Missouri does. 😂
Both and Texas and OU is excited about leaving! Beat it!
Oklahoma football is going to end up like Nebraska football. Watch.
@@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13you can’t just parrot what Cowherd says without thinking for yourself. Tell me why OU will end up like Nebraska and I’ll tell you why that’s a dumb take
@@claypennington602.... it took Nebraska away from their recruiting grounds.
@@aisaxonawiat6484 I know, but I want this guy to think about what he’s saying
@@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13 as a TX fan you are wrong. There is always going to be good players that go to OU because they hate TX. Nebraska never had a true rival to hate them like TX and OU hate each other.
how are you always wrong
They are still butt hurt because OU and Texas left the big 12
Hard to find a subject this time of year.
Would any Big 12 team pass on an invite to the SEC? You have your answer
Most would, all would if you ask the fans especially with the 12 team, Nebraska a historic Blue blood but after going to the Big10, the school is getting payed but they are not making bowl games, I would much prefer the big12 being able to compete instead of going to the SEC , becoming the Nebraska of the SEC, I kinda feal sorry for 0u
@@jerrygibbons3772Nebraska lost their recruiting bed in Texas by going to the Big Ten. Oklahoma is not losing their recruiting grounds .
@@jerrygibbons3772Nebraska recruited well in Texas during their time in the Big 12 because they were traveling half the year to come play teams in Texas and Oklahoma. Went to the Big10 and it’s harder to convince kids to go to a school where their family and friends could realistically never see them play a down.
OU will still play Texas and A&M and they will bring bedlam back and play OSU as well. Even LSU offers the opportunity to see them play on the road. Not to mention OU home games will be much easier to get to on any given weekend
It’s simply not the same situation as Nebraska
Oklahoma 120-49-3 vs. Sec all time.
How many national titles have they won over the last 20 years? Were they beating the SEC teams in the playoff? This isnt Barry Switzer. You'll see very soon this isnt the Big12. And big difference in playing SEC every now and then and week after week. Youll see soon enough.
@@user-qb9fv3bf2d Outside of Alabama - Georgia - LSU, no one is scared of the SEC. Auburn couldn't even beat Penn State team that had no offense. At home or away. Give me a break.
@@user-qb9fv3bf2d20 years ?? so you pick and choose only 20 years and the other years didn’t exist? Complete clown 🤡 take lol
Brent Venables prepping OU defense to be the same or better than Clemson recent glory championship years, get ready chump, this is OU- One of the winningest programs of All time buddy. Suck it chump
And that’s why the SEC is legit worried about OU lol look at the disparity between OU and Texas schedule lol every single SEC opponent we play has a bye week or Vandy/fcs opponent the week prior including Texas, the only one who doesn’t get two weeks to prepare for OU is South Carolina and they got bama before us. People in power in the SEC literally are showing respect and fear by our schedule. They know they have to try everything they can to tamp down the crimson fire that’s coming for everyone or else the SEC will be like every conference we’ve been in, it’ll be OUr conference
Cowherd of RUclips
You are comparing a future Big 12 that never would have happened if OU hadn’t left. OU saw this future. OU tried to get the conference to expand, but the Big 12 was so complacent it wouldn’t. The Big 12 wouldn’t compete with the SEC & Big 10. OU wanted to. Misaligned priorities.
A Big 12 championship was fool’s gold. Look how outmatched OU was when they got to the CFP. Moving to the SEC is definitely worth the try. Even if it doesn’t work out, the Big 12 would welcome OU back. But I doubt it will come to that as OU will be just fine in the SEC.
This is the saddest show. 2 sad men. The way you 2 talked about Oklahoma. Need to be ashamed of yourself. Oklahoma has one bad year in 25 seasons. And now Oklahoma the worst team in the sec. 🤡
pretty close to it.
Why do you care so much????? This little podcast caused this over the top response. Get a grip!
Both ou and texass made the big 12. moving to the SEC has both teams stacking talent just because they are gonna be playing in the SEC nobody is regretting anything . Games against Alabama or even Auburn Will turn more heads than a Baylor or Cincinnati will. It might not be as easy but its definitely gonna be better for everyone including the the big 12 moving forward
I love the new schedule for OU, just not excitement playing the big 12 schedule, they are in a rapid rebuild and recruiting is top notch. No remorse here about leaving okie state or kstate behind. Not even close
OU should play the Pokes from OSU as an OOC game for all college football fans in OK from Norman to Stillwater and beyond.
@@fwilliamcony28I don't think Okie state wants to do that, I do think it's pretty cool how the Florida schools play each other every year
@@johnrobbinson7081 As long as it's a home/away series starting in Stillwater and then Norman.
@@johnrobbinson7081I think it's funny that Oklahoma is willing to play Tulsa every 4 years or so and even play at Tulsa, but Oklahoma State is too scared to play us out of conference like Georgia Tech, Florida State, Clemson, and Cincinnati do with their in state rivals, I find it to be incredibly petty as Oklahoma State has more to gain from playing us year in and year out.
It ain't about the schedules, It's about Dollabillz Y'all. SEC teams will make the playoffs with 5-6 losses, and the undefeated non-G2 won't even get a sniff... OR, were you just sleeping through the precedent Espn and it's committee just set in December? It wasn't a slight against Florida State....it was a slight against ALL non-G2....It wouldn't even surprise me if FSU was in on it(in exchage for destruction of ACC and a cushy landing spot). If anything still shocks you in politics or football, you simply aren't paying attention.
Both Texas and OU recruiting have ramped up since SEC announcement. You guys are reaching for fake stories.
The only consistent team in the SEC has been Alabama. Yes, a handful of the other teams are good at times, but Alabama has ruled that conference for years. So, why would The Oklahoma Sooners be afraid of Tennessee, Georgia, Ole Miss(lol)LSU, and Auburn? These guys are nuts.
@@andrewjohnson5671you forget Florida too
That is my point, and I agree with you.
Not a single intelligent thought was shared. Truly amazed y’all have a platform.
This is hilarious! If there is ever a team more excited about going the the great SEC. I give you the Oklahoma Sooners. I much rather see the likes of Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee in Norman than K-State, Iowa State and Kansas.
Literally zero OU fans think this way!
This is ridiculous. I have not heard one single OU fan talk about regretting moving to the SEC, nor are any of them scared about the schedule. The teams left behind in the Big 12 are just wishing it was this way.
Dumb and dumber. I regret hitting play on this video.
And I regret you posting here.
He made a comment that OU is bigger than the BIg 12. The same can be said about Alabama being bigger than the SEC. Alabama has been the only SEC team winning these playoff championships during the 2010s. There was no Georgia until this decade.
LSU also lays claim to a CFP championship.
I know, right? Georgia hadn't done anything in the SEC for years, up until a few years ago. And LSU is feast or famine, with no consistency. Florida fell off the map, and Texas A&M and Ole Miss are perennially overated.
@@dewittmathews2508 Auburn had had some good years. However, their success is overshadowed by the success of Alabama.
Like I stated before, only 4 SEC teams has one a natty in the last 15 years, other than Alabama. Auburn(2010), Georgia(2021, 202), LSU(2020), Florida(2008). OU ain't scared of the SEC.
Oklahoma 187-61 all time vs big 12
I know the AD at Oklahoma personally. They have no regrets of any kind. Who is your source? Yourselves?
And my neighbor is the president.
We Ready!!!
You sound like a EX wife who is mad cuz he found someone younger and better looking
These nerds are still so mad OU left 😭
He did get us all to click while saying something even he doesn’t believe. Of course OU is happy to be leaving a mid-major conference and get a huge pay bump.
Be careful of what you wish for, too late OK. Nebraska may have a much better balance sheet, but they have been absolutely unsuccessful in the Big10. The extra money means little to the fan, in fact we as fans end up paying much higher ticket prices.
Nebraska lost their main recruiting base. OU expanded theirs. 😆
I do know for a fact that Berry Switzer warned lincoln Riley about going into the SEC would be like playing Texas every Saturday...
Oklahoma 28-4 vs. Baylor all time.
Ou does not regret leaving Big 12 at all not even a tiny bit
What if Michigan, Ohio State, and their new teams from the pac went to the SEC what would the big10 be left with.
Are you guys crazy
Full of speculation. Sounds more like sour grape analysis. These guys have no clue. No OU fan thinks that OU will be at the top of the league every year. And comparing the middle of the road Big 12 to the Big 10 is laughable. IMO, the move to the SEC versus staying in the Big 12 is about improving the quality of games and recruits. The Big 12 had no interest in expansion when it needed to. It wasn’t until OU/UT had enough of the bs and decided to leave, that they expanded out of necessity and not being dissolved as a conference. The management and leadership of Big 12 has been a shit show for the last 10-12 years. With the world of NIL, everyone will be spending more money on recruits and facilities. Being in the SEC gives both OU and UT the opportunity to land those recruits and compete at a higher level, against higher level opponents. Big 12 doesn’t. It’s not an attractive conference anymore.
Texas got money already bro.Ask Alabama if Texas is ready for the SEC! In Tuscaloosa by 10 with the ball.🤘🏾
Yeah just a COMPLETE coincidence that the Big XII added four G5 schools right after Texas and Oklahoma announced they were leaving.......COMPLETE coincidence
Lol. Some jealous people around here. Good luck in that shitty G5 conference. A 9-3 SEC OU team will still get into the playoffs.
They will not be 9-3 in the sec more like 7-5

Should be. This isnt the weak Big12.
OU did not call and tell you a secret about regrets. Please stop!
They never want to discuss the elephant in the room. Recruiting wise in order for either school to have an opportunity not only to get into the playoffs but to win the national championship, they had to leave the BIG 12.
The players needed to compete nationally year in and year out don't wanna play in the BIG 12, and they know this.
The BIG 12 wants to continue to LEECH off of Texas and OU's brand for legitimization, which in turn will allow then access to the leftover players that neither programs wanted or had the space for. At the end of the day, their goal is just conference titles and maybe playoffs. National titles are just not realistic for the remaining schools in football.
This is the most ridiculous and untrue take. And this is coming from a Big 12 and BYU fan. They have absolutely NO regrets. It's a no brainer. I like Drake Toll, but he just gives ridiculous takes that even he cannot believe.
OU and Texas are both trending up. The fact that the majority of storylines coming out of the big 12 news entities still revolve around them just makes the big 12 look like a jealous ex who talks trash because because they can't get over what they lost. But at least yall got Colorado, right? 😂
Trending up could be just enough to get you into the middle of the pack, though. Obviously you take the money, but you all can't go undefeated every year. A few of these top "brands" are about to face 6-6 as their new norm. It will be interesting to see how the fan bases come to accept that.
You have no idea what you're talking about
You guys do realize these teams leave for more money and a more stable conference, don’t you? Not to piss anyone off or because they think they will win more. OU and Texas are in a better place now.
I have more confidence in Texas than OU on this move
LMAO OU fans are NOT rethinking going to the SEC.
Everyone is excited. We are a true blueblood. Fear does not live at OU. We will find our footing just fine.
OU is about to become the Nebraska of the south.
As a Texas fan, this is ridiculous. OU has just as much to gain as any team this vid is a bit much
You do not understand OU fans. Poor analysis.
Salary caps are right around the corner.
It is clear The only ball they ever played was on a console.
Also they act like they care about the fans. They only care about the Big 12 relevancy. OU/UT leaving, jeopardizes that relevancy so they’re worried.
Cameron: “Expansion didn’t come because OU left the conference. Expansion came because expansion was available.”
Exactly. And expansion became available because OU left the conference.
You guys are ridiculous
Oklahoma is going to find out someone has to be ranked 6-16
Every big 12 team would leave the conference in a millisecond if they got an invite to the big 2. The big 12 has been a joke since a&m left. Imagine holding out hopes for getting leftover acc/pac-12 rejects.
Trying farm engagement from OU fans cause lil12 members aren’t cutting it.
OU moving to SEC equals More $, Only 8 Conference games, 4 home games against Temple, Houston, Tulane & Maine in November 😂. Don't get me started on Texas who won the lottery with their SEC schedule. Please don't jock sniff Disney/ ESPN media.
What makes you think they want to stay? Is it because the media keeps saying that OU won’t 8 games this season? Hmmm. Well, just because the media and “Vegas” says that, it doesn’t mean that’s what’s going to happen or does it mean that OU doesn’t want to go. Good job getting people to click on your stuff, I do admire it when people who no longer have anything to talk about in their own conference can get OU fans to click on their headlines. Good job buddy. You are kinda bashing your own conference, which I have to admit, it takes a lot out of a guy to tell the truth on the issue.
Bama fan here. OU ain’t doubting going to SEC. OU will be fine. These guys 👎🏻are lookin for clicks.
Ou would've been better prepared in the early 2000's rather than now..... Plus Oklahoma and Texas voted to veto expanding in the big 12
They was going to but the Southeast conference wouldn't take okie pokie state on the Oklahoma legislators wouldn't let them move without taking the cow patties and now we have a legislature that said f*** The cow patties go ahead and go
Ask OU fans about looking forward to Baylor, Kansas and etc. Why did OU schedule like we did outside of the Big 12 like we did all these years. The Big 12 is dead in 5-7 years
Nah….but good luck b12
The whole thing is going to ruin college football. Super conferences are going to have teams make playoffs with 4 losses which will ruin the regular season week to week excitement. Outcomes are going to be largely the same - a longshot Houston won't have a deep enough bench to run the gauntlet. Except ,if a school like SMU puts together a $30 million dollar team, and that is very possible.
There was staying out in the big 12 and risk becoming irrelevant. With the playoff expansion, you don’t have to win the conference. Big 12 is a filler conferences. They will be the games played for higher ranked playoff teams. Much like a bye week.
Please check OU's history vs SEC teams. Trust and believe OU has money and will get more money
I’m convinced you two know nothing about cfb
B1G has USC, Penn State, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan and could see Nebraska back at the top. CFP Michigan State and Iowa lead off the second tier. It just had an all B1G national championship game. 8 of the top 15 players picked in the NFL draft are new B1G players including the #1 and #4 picks.
Nobody saying prove it to me brent Venables, who the hell are yall.
😂 I do feel bad for the poor big 12 rejects. Mommy and Daddy left them all alone and they cannot cope. 😂
I am so tired of this type of reporting. This is their way of trying to generate a buzz to get clcks.
hahahahahahaa OU isn't worried about the Big XII
Well no, the middle of the big 10 is not the same as the middle of the big12!
No we don't Drake
Y'all know nothing about football apparently. For one, OU was the Big 12. Two, recruiting has skyrocketed since moving into SEC. That doesn't happen if we stay in Big 12. Nobody from OU is regretting moving to the SEC. We love challenges and have proven we are up to the challenge.
You guys regret it , OU regrets not leaving Sooner.
I'm glad to see others stating the obvious. We (OU fans) are thinking the exact opposite of everything you two clowns have just said. If you want to ACT like you're speaking for the fans of a team, maybe speak to some actual fans. Oklahoma is going to crush the SEC just like we did to the Big 12 for YEARS. Yall are the ones that are sad to see us leave. Now who's gonna win the Big 12 and make yall actually look good? Utah? LOL.
OU got "shellacked" by Arizona? lol yeah they lost the game but I guess you didnt know that OU outgained Zona 562 yards to 383 yards. Other than a freshman QB throwing some INTs OU wins that game rather easily.....maybe you just dont know the definition of the word shellacked.
What's funny is Vanderbilt could potentially win the new Big12
Vandy would lose games in G5... Get a grip
Who are these guys ? As an OU fan I’ve wanted out of the big 12 for years it’s a garbage conference
Should rethink their HC! They need a new one. I in the he can't prove anything positive. He sucks!
What? Could you retype ? Not sure where you're going with your statement.
Lol no more big noon Saturday games for OU woohoo 🎉 let’s celebrate on not having to be the premier team in the conference and playing all of the ‘marquee’ games of the week lol 😂 nobody gets excited playing at 11-12 gonna be able to actually make sure the stadium lights work since we haven’t gotten to use them in a decade or more 😂
You both are just running your mouth I’m sure OU didn’t tell you that.
Y’all sound salty. OU will be fine.
OU traded a short uphill path to the playoffs for a steep, almost insurmountable mountain
An uphill path they couldn't manage to traverse in recent years
Yeah but look what happens to Big 12 teams when they do make the playoffs they get their asses handed to them because they are unprepared to play teams from other conferences because the little 12 is a cramp of conference
The goal is not making the playoffs. The goal is to be fully ready for the playoffs when you make the playoffs. OU was not going to consistently be ready for the playoffs in the Big12. They may not consistently make the playoffs in the SEC, but they will consistently be ready for the playoffs when they do. It’s really not a tough concept to grasp.
They are recruiting better than ever for a couple years straight, and 2025 is already looking great as a recruiting class. After this season, I believe OU will be no lower than 4th in the SEC 80% of the time, which will almost always be good enough for the playoffs.
You must be an Okie pokie State fan
@@phillips3994 that's true and when they do make the playoffs while a member of the Big 12 they get their asses handed to them because they're not used to the level of competition they have to play in the playoffs
You peeps are soooooo wrong. OU fan here in the majority, we love SEC hate BV.
You're a Oklahoma fan but you hate Venables?
Drake: save this one. Over the next 20 years you need to hope it remains your dumbest take. And I am not and SEC or OU fan. Do better or even some research. Read or listen to other things/facts/people in a 2-1 ratio to opining. That should help you to avoid embarrassing yourself as you did with this one.
