The SEC still has 9 teams in the Top-25 and two teams (USCe and Miss St) just outside. This is going to be a great year to have the SEC Network and a DVR!

Polls are definitely dominated by 2 conferences. Since A&M and Mizzou left the Big 12 has fallen off the face of the earth as a whole.

You said Texas, TEXAS??!! hahaha

Ok, regained my composure. Of the the three only one will be there, probably OU. I really do no think Baylor has the offense to get them thru a Super against the likes of an Arizona, Florida St, Georgia,....... JMO
